Shoveling Relief
It snowed a little last night as a very cold front moves through the area. In the complex where I live, the HOA pays for snow removal if it snows 3″ or more. Unfortunately for me, there was only 1″-2″ outside. I waited to see if it would snow again and perhaps make it up […]
Christmas Miracle Rescue
I received a Christmas card and letter from a friend the other day who gave an update about her family. I was surprised to hear that one of her adult sons was recently involved in a life threatening experience. I chatted with her a bit today and read a couple of articles about the ordeal. […]
Pool in the Snow
A friend of mine flew into the big city near me yesterday. She was staying at a resort for a conference that was to begin tonight. I was going to go see her, but the roads were too treacherous. However, I was very happy to see the roads were clear this morning and I was […]
Finally Out
The past 3 days I have been hunkering down at home with most of the state as we have experienced a rare 3 day snowstorm. In the time that I have lived here, I have never seen anything like it – especially in November. The kids didn’t have school and some roads were closed during […]
Secret Snowplower
We are on day 2 of a 3 day snowstorm, which is very unusual for the area and for the month of November. I have been watching more TV than usual and heard a great story. A man has been plowing neighbors’ driveways for years without compensation. For a long time, the people didn’t even […]
Safe in the Storm
My sister and her husband live near the eastern coast of Florida. Earlier this week we talked with them about the incoming hurricane. They were going to sit it out in their home. It is a fairly new house and made of concrete blocks. They brought in all the outdoor furniture and plants and anything […]
Morning Thunderstorm
I decided to spend a couple days at the cabin with my brother and arrived yesterday. I woke up early this morning as usual and it was still dark outside. Before I laid back down to close my eyes, something caught my attention. I thought I saw a bright light flash through the window. I […]
Spreading Mulch
It has been ridiculously difficult to get dedicated caregivers for one reason or the other. We had another new caregiver start yesterday and she was here this afternoon. While she sat with my mom during her nap, I took advantage of the opportunity to go outside. The housing complex delivered mulch that was ordered today. […]
Sharing Eclipse
I was excited to see the eclipse today, even though we weren’t in the path of totality. I found our glasses that we used in the past and got ready for our 79% coverage. My siblings were texting as one brother was camped near Dallas and hoping the clouds would disperse. My other brother planned […]
PJ Day
It was a snowy day today, no one was coming over, and we weren’t going anywhere. My sister and I started on a reorganizing project and tag-teamed mom as we worked on it. Before I knew it, it was 5:00 pm and I was still in my pajamas. Perhaps that’s why I was so comfortable. […]
