Happy Mother’s Day!
It’s Mother’s Day! Or rather Mother’s Week! Why settle for a day to honor someone who loves us for life? So do something for your mother all week and see how many ways you can honor her. Parenting is a hard, life-long job and a lot of work when done right. You’re not always liked, […]
Back to Our Northern Home
After a slight delay in our plans, Hubby and I finally reached our summer home. At this point in time, it may become our year-round home since our winter home is being put on the market (great house for those looking for a place in Amarillo!). For me, it’s comforting to be in my own […]
The End of Winter Four
Remember when John Lennon said, “Life is what happens when you’re busy making plans”? Hubby and I made plans to be home this weekend. I’d reserved a table at a spring craft fair on Saturday, but life interfered. Other duties took precedence. I have no animosity about it. It just happened that way. We will […]
Sunshine with the Rain
This past week seemed like a month long. Dealing with aging parents is never fun but moving them into a care facility is harder, especially when one of them doesn’t want to go. I don’t like feeling like the villain in a story, but I did this week; however, I also know it’s what’s best […]
Gifts for Your Children
I’m dealing with aging parents, and in particular, one obstinate parent. My mother has dementia and cannot make decisions about much of anything. My dad is the mule-headed one. His mind is starting to go bad, but because he’s the one with the most mental capacity of the two, he’s making the decisions for both […]
Extremes
In one week, I’ve gone from one extreme to another. Hubby and I joined both our children and grandsons in Washington state for a family weekend. We arrived in rain that continued for two days. A steady rain fell over a large area of the Pacific Northwest and left the streams and rivers trying to […]
My Favorite Food
Pizza is the perfect food for me. It has vegetables, meat (optional), dairy, and carbs. A well-balanced meal which is what my doctor told me to eat. I like pizza that has lots of red sauce and cheese with a thin crispy crust topped with veggies and maybe a little meat. I’ve eaten a lot […]
A Trip Back
Hubby and I traveled to Baird to see my folks for a couple of days. We’d seen them at Christmas when our daughter and son-in-law met us there. We’d cooked a couple of big meals and had a fun time visiting and such. Seeing my parents these few weeks later, it was jarring how far […]
