Right Now
Breakfast ~ What sounds do you hear right now? What time is it right now as you answer this?  

It is quiet right now.  There are no television noises, no people’s voices.  It is late morning, I slept in today and Kim is still sleeping.  Kim’s brother, Doug, and two boys spent the night, we got up early to see them off and then went back to bed since the calendar is clear today.

Lunch ~ What are you wearing right now?  What are you thinking right now? What are you eating/drinking right now (if anything)?  

I still have my pajamas on, one of the very few times I am not dressed and ready to go before sitting at my computer.  I’m thinking about how nice it is to have the entire day to spend as I feel in the moment.  It is BJ’s angelversary and I am quite melancholy.  I am not eating or drinking anything right now.


Dinner ~ Where do you wish you were right now?  What do you wish you were doing right now?  What should you be doing right now?

As always at this time of the year I wish I was someplace tropical.  Warm weather, ocean breezes, beautiful, blue water.  A hammock tied to palm trees on the beach would be perfect.  I probably should either get some exercise or at least get dressed, but I’m too lazy.

Midnight Snack ~ What is going on around you right now?

At my house there is nothing going on right now, but there is much going on in my family.  Tasha and Zane are looking at a new job.  Shandra and Jason are looking into permanent custody of RaeLynn.  Kim’s family is fraught with medical issues, including Kim who is waiting for the results of some medical tests he had yesterday.  I am relishing the quiet at my house right now before thinking about the rest of the stresses.

Recipe for the Week ~ (instead of your recipe for life, what is it just for the week?)

Memories:  These vintage pictures surfaced this month.  I just love looking at old pictures remembering how things were - especially when the pictures are of loved ones who are no longer with us.  I love seeing Grandpa and Grandma surrounded by family.  They loved being with family!  This made me smile. Top:  Tasha, Grandpa Olsen, Grandma Olsen, Abby (?) Shandra, Natalie, Mickel, LaurieJo Bottom: Stephanie, Jan, Casey, Grandpa, Doug, Grandma, David, Ben, Justin Dennis, Barbara, Kim, Jody, Alicia Kalel Birthday:  Covid is still a constant threat, and I'm still working from home.  However, we did feel safe in having a family-only party for Kalel's birthday.  There is a new place here in town called Half  Axed.  We left Little Miss with Joey because we felt it would be just a little too dangerous for her and went to try our hand at axe-throwing. We had a marvelous time!  So much so that Kim has decided that he wants to build our own axe-throwing lane in our backyard!  I believe t

Fun Day With Bubba

Image
Today Bubba and I had a great day! First we joined Ash and Tristan for a visit to the park. Bubba and Tristan ran and rolled and climbed and had all kinds of fun! Later, Kim and I had to run to Logan, so we decided that a quick trip to Willow Park was in order. Bubba was so excited to see all of the animals there. We saw turtles, geese, swans, cranes, peacocks, and deer. We watched an owl eating his dinner. We saw a couple of young antelope fighting - I think they were really just playing! We even saw a couple of wallabies! Of course, Bubba's favorite part was feeding the ducks! He got a little nervous if one got too close, but as long as they kept their distance, he had a blast throwing food to them. I'm sure that he just about wore himself out with all of the walking and running and playing. I know that I did!

Mom is Coming Home

Image
We just got word today that mom can come home from Rehab tomorrow morning – a week earlier than we had expected. Needless to say, mom is thrilled at the prospects of being home again, and dad is quite excited also. I have to admit, I have mixed feelings. Honestly, it has been very nice having mom in a place where I knew that they were taking very good care of her. The food there is fantastic, the workers are extremely pleasant and friendly, and her care was wonderful. She has gained an incredible amount of muscle strength through her two-a-day physical therapy sessions, and they are fanatical about making sure that her food and fluids are exactly what she needs. Consequently mom is actually in better overall health now than she has been in the last two years. It has been nice for me to have them watching over her continuously to make sure that she does what she is supposed to and also to make sure that she doesn’t cheat on her diet or fluid restrictions. It has been wonderful to take
