Lightening the Mood
My dad was in kind of a melancholy mood today, so tonight we decided to watch something funny. We pulled out the DVD of the Carol Burnett shows from the 1970’s. The episode we watched included Tim Conway who is one of our favorites. At the end of the show, Carol Burnett sang her famous.”I’m […]
Finally Elk
One of the wonderful things about living here is going to the mountains and seeing the wildlife. Not too long ago, a friend of mine told me that despite living here for almost her entire life, she has never seen a live elk. We had even been camping and in the mountains together, so it […]
The Pool Family
Today I went to the pool aerobics class that I really enjoy. The people are just so caring about each other. One of the ladies went on a trip and fell and broke her arm in another state. One of the other ladies talked to her and relayed it to the group at the last […]
Perfect Timing
At the beginning of summer, my dad and brother worked on a plan to replace some of the siding on the cabin. It took a while to decide exactly what to do and get all the needed materials. Since then, it has been a waiting game. They needed a few days of dry weather in […]

New Birthday Friend
Today is my dad’s 86th birthday. For a gift, my mom wanted to get him some kind of new electronic device. I remembered that at Christmas time, he saw the Star Wars BB8 droid in a catalog and said how fun that would be to have. My siblings and I did a little research and […]
A Joyful Stranger
I had a package to mail today so I went to the local UPS store. Luckily, when I arrived, there was no one else there. As I was completing my business, another customer came in and was helped by another clerk at the other end of the counter. When I finished and turned around, there […]
Faith Is The Reason
I Found God today in beautiful thoughts from a blog I came across. It is worth sharing, reading, and pondering in our hearts.
Responding to Responses
As I got this blog up and running, I wanted to make sure my friends knew about it. So, I sent out many emails inviting people to take a look. I spent much of the day going through the responses of those who sent back a note. I admit I did get a little thrill […]
