For the most part I love my family 😊.  As I stated in a previous post, my children have various personalities and temperaments. Spending this time with Tiff and Hannah has caused me to be a bit nostalgic.  I have 4 children and 5 grandchildren.  I was thinking about my children when they were young,… Read more

One of the aspects of this plan was to do one act of kindness every week. We began this in our second week. We reviewed this today and we have done 1 act weekly.  We have donated diapers and nursing pads to a pregnancy center.  We have stopped and given water to a man on… Read more

We went to the Farmer’s market this morning and we noticed some changes from the last time that we were there.  There were less vendors and less customers.  Hannah explained that as the temperatures increase people tend to stay indoors more – even those who live here and are acclimated to the heat.  We did… Read more

I have a critical eye.  This can be a good thing to have, and it can be a bad thing to have. I’ve often thought that I should have worked in the TV or movie industry because I am pretty quick to find the mistakes in the shows.  I could watch the completed product and… Read more

We spent today in Sedona, AZ and it was wonderful.  The weather was perfect.  The crowds weren’t too bad.  The sun shown brightly. We did lots of walking. We saw some of the most beautiful scenery that God has put on this earth. Tiff did well overall.  She did get fatigued toward the end but… Read more

There are also measurements of time and width.  We, in the USA, most often use the Customary system (inches, feet) and the Metric system (milligrams, kilometers). Measurements are very… Read more

It’s hard to believe that our time here in Phoenix will be done in just 2 weeks.  Tiff and I have discussed several times how the time has gone both fast and slow at the same time.  Our time here is nearly done but our changed lifestyles will go on after we are home.  We… Read more

We took it up a notch.  This morning’s walk went from 1 mile to 1.3 miles.  We have a plan to walk that amount for 2 days and then we will amp it up again to 1.6 miles.  Our goal is to be walking 2 miles every morning by the time that we leave to… Read more

We went for a lovely Sunday drive after church and lunch today.  We drove up into the foothills that surround Phoenix.  The homes are beautiful.  We found one with a For Sale sign in front of it and looked it up.  It was a 4 bedroom, 4 bath home on 2.07 acres for the bargain… Read more

Happy Mother’s Day to all of you moms and grandmoms out there.  I have had the privilege of having a total of three women in my life whom I view as moms.  My biological mother, Joyce.  My stepmother, Carolyn. My mother-in-law, Bonnie.  My relationship with my dad was not great and it is a long… Read more
