Like the rest of the world, I am gladly saying goodbye to 2020 and on this third day of 2021, am looking ahead hopefully to an end to the heartrending COVID deaths. About 350,000 people in the U.S. began 2020 without any knowledge that they would succumb before the end of the year to […]
I just realized as I sat down to write that it has been three months since I posted. I have had a number of blogs bouncing around in my head but have not put them to paper. Sometimes the weeks fly by with a mind of their own. I hang on during the week […]
A friend of mine used the term “forbearance” recently in reference to getting through this pandemic. I have been thinking about that word ever since.
I remember back in March when everything first shut down and parents started to work from home. After a few weeks, my husband and I would walk around the block […]
We lost two elderly relatives this past summer. They were both in the last half of their nineties so maybe we would have lost them anyway, however I believe they died from lack of connection during this COVID environment. Neither of them had COVID, however I believe they were still indirect casualties of COVID.

My husband came back yesterday from a week-long trip, with face tanned and looking relaxed. He had flown to another state to my oldest son’s house and then they drove north a day and a half to a remote lodge to go fly fishing.

My youngest daughter is going to turn 24 in about a week. I still remember coming home from the airport with her so many years ago. She was 2 ½ years old and we were bringing her to our home from China. I clearly remember thinking as we drove to our home, that this […]
I got a call this week from a nurse about my 98-year-old aunt. My aunt has been in a nursing home for almost five years after a fall that broke a bone in her upper leg and left her too weak to walk. The nursing home has taken excellent care of her over the […]
I have written a lot of blogs over the last six years and I think this is the first time I have written one specifically about my husband. I am going to write about him today because I have been thinking this week about the little things he does that mean a lot to […]
We celebrated Independence Day today. Some of our adult kids in the area came by for our traditional BBQ and a long-time family friends’ daughter came by as well…she is an honorary “one of our kids”. It just happened that today was also the Saturday in which we normally have our 6-year-old granddaughter for […]
I was with a 95 year old relative when she passed away yesterday afternoon; I will call her E. She had been living alone in an assisted living apartment and had fallen a couple of weeks ago. Due to the pandemic, meals had been brought to her apartment instead of eating in the dining […]
