Another day...

Made it through another day. I struggled all day emotionally with a lot of things. But now, things are starting to look better. Work went well, as it only took me 3 hours. I will be locking up the government buildings on Christmas eve, so the night watchman can leave town. I locked all the doors tonight, so he knew I could do it. (They have to be locked with a screwdriver, not with a key) The family will be home either Tuesday late or Wednesday morning. I'm hoping for Wednesday, as I have to get... Sign in to see full entry.

An uninvited guest?

I appreciate all the recent kind comments on my last blog. I was having a hard day. All is well that ends well - the cliche that came to mind. I was able to talk to my daughter-in-law about it later. She said it was OK. Then she told me to be careful not to get too tired (?) because I forgot to lock the door one day and this evening I left the oven on at 400 degrees. I have been too tired and forgetting things. Things seem OK between us now. Today after church it concerned me a bit when the... Sign in to see full entry.

Apologies

I'm having a bummer of a day. It started out OK, with church. But afterwards, there was a misunderstanding between my son and daughter-in-law and I about meals. I had told them yesterday that I would buy pizza Sunday. The problem came in with my communication. I was thinking late afternoon, the supper meal. They were thinking right after church. Anyway, because of this there are some hard feelings here. I felt really bad and "apologized", trying to make things right, offering to get pizza later.... Sign in to see full entry.

Border Crossing

This will be very short. I am exhausted, literally. Tomorrow I am resting. In the evening I will be going to "The Living Nativity", which our church is doing. There are about 15 or more scenes of the nativity. In each scene there are real people, standing like statues. For example: Mary, Joseph and Baby Jesus; The shepherds... Last year it was about zero degrees out, but they still did it. The ones who portrayed Jesus on the cross each took 15 minute spaces. This year it looks like it will be... Sign in to see full entry.

Work, Eat and Sleep

I only have a minute to write, as it's so late. I am happy to say that the snow is melted. My newly married son and wife will be coming for Christmas. Also, my 19 year old single son, who wants to be called "Bob" also will be coming. And... my husband and 4 children who have been in Mexico will be coming home! It will be a happy time I'm sure and maybe a bit overwhelming. After Christmas, the following Monday, I will be taking "Bob" and perhaps my son and daughter-in-law back home, 5 hours away....

About this Blog

I plan on writing about past and present life experiences and what I have learned from them. I also want to tell stories of things in my past, some humourus, some serious and some trivial. I have done some traveling and want to describe those places and people accurately, maybe in some cases changing names if I see it could embarrass someone. I will write out of my heart and hopefully give hope to some of my readers. I do not have all the answers, but have lived long enough to know there are many trials in life and obstacles. I want to examine life, it's simplicities and complexities and share my observation and at times opinions with others.
