Our busy weekend…..

Sweep over my spirit forever I pray In phathomless billows of love This was a very special song that my grandfather—-my mother’s father–sang……..It was part of his SOUL…….He sang […]

Javier’s last jam…..a little escape in the middle of the day
Javier de los Santos has spent some wonderful classical guitar time with me over the past few months. We played “Duet in D” for James Smith at a master’s class, and it was a great success. James gave us encouragement and guidance, and our playing together has blossomed. We spent a couple of hours this […]
One day at a time……..
Hi Everyone, We’re hanging in there. The girls are so helpful. We’ve been able to cut down on our help with Mom, at night, because Niki has been able to do 3 nights a week. Actually, I think Mom does better when she’s there because she HAS to be more self sufficient. Lillian, the lady […]
They Hatched!!!
The little darlings came out of their shells, today. The Killdeers! They are so soft and fuzzy and cute as can be………It’s been a wonderful day, watching them hatch and lie there in their rocky nest……..waiting to become strong enough to run off and enjoy the world. I wonder how long it will be before […]
The birds are a such an unexpected and peaceful blessing
We have just loved the birds, this Spring and Summer. Such a simple gift from nature during such a serious and difficult time in our lives. The best way to describe the in-common feeling of the whole family, I think, is peaceful pleasure. Mom seems to have gained a new appreciation for all of them, […]

It’s been a blur, NOW, the work begins
Mom’s summary is at the bottom in Blue, if you want to by-pass my ramblings….. :o) Well, the past 5 weeks has been a blurrrrrrrr……. In those first moments, I guess there were choices to make. But, honestly, these kinds of decisions are ones that people must think out and consider long before the event […]
A Good Night’s sleep! and more
Mom played more than an hour of bridge, yesterday with her friends, Toots, Barbara and Darrel. She did GREAT!! She was a little slower than usual, of course. But, Barb said that she didn’t miss a bid!! Halelulia!!! She had a rough time handling the cards(Her left hand is still very uncoordinated and somewhat numb) […]
another miracle
Craig’s dad came home from the hospital yesterday. The echocardiogram on Monday showed minimal heart damage. Bob is reported to be feeling well. Of course, he now has lots of pills and a new cardiac rehabilitation program to begin. Here are the images from the cardiac catheterization showing very impressive occlusion of the proximal left […]
