Water Day

We had a morning at the water park yesterday.

I'm extremely happy that someone figured out that kids want to play at the park regardless if it's 115 degrees - adding water to play in makes it bearable.
My friend Arlene met me at the park with her grandson. The park has done an excellent job of placing tables in front of the play area with nice shade trees surrounding. We were able to sit and talk and have a close eye on the kids as they ran from the water area to the slide on the playground.

It was a nice little break for us...the ups and downs of my father in law tend to rest heavy on my heart - it's nice to switch my thoughts for a little while.

Update: Yesterday he was non - responsive most of the day so the care facility decided it wasn't a good idea to bring him home because he now requires 24 hour care. He was agitated most of the day when he was checked in the facility so they gave him a sedative. After that he became non - responsive, ended up going a day without food, liquids and no meds. Finally around 5 pm he was awake but wouldn't eat and was only making grunting sounds.                                                                                  

Praying he'll be able to go home today.

Have An Open Heart

As I was sorting through pictures this morning I came across pictures of my seven-year-old granddaughter with girls that she met for the first time on a 2 day stay in Prescott. I was drawn to the smiles on their faces and the love in their eyes. They met, accepted each other, and acted as if they had been lifelong friends. Oh, how I had forgotten about the innocence of a child. The color of skin, the size of a body, the structure of a face does not matter. They are ready to accept and love unconditionally until we and society teach them differently. There was nothing but smiles and laughter as they danced, made beaded jewelry, and ate. They made sure that they all were a part of whatever they were participating in. They cared about each other's feelings and made sure that everyone was having fun and was happy. Why is it that we grow to become so obsessed with appearance and behavior of others that we miss seeing the light or the struggles in others?  We're so q...

I shared with you how I had my son leave my home because he's not in a good place right now.  Yesterday he was sitting outside my home when I pulled up.  I asked him why he was here - Don't get me wrong, I'm thankful he's okay but I can't be an enabler.                                                                               He had a couple of reasons why he popped in, but I know the real one is that he thought no one would be home and he was hoping he could get in to eat, crash, and find something to sell at a pawn shop. As horrible as that sounds it's the reality of how a drug addict operates.                                                     ...

Fun At The Duce

The rain didn't stop us from having a great night at The Duce. The food was amazing, the DJ was fun, and I saw a lot of Arizona talent doing karaoke. One of the reasons I chose The Duce is because I love the ambiance. They have it set up with all the things that I grew up with...it's like a big playground for adults. The Duce is filled with ping pong tables, hula hoops, bean bag toss, punching bags, pull up bars, boxing ring, stationary bikes, foosball, karaoke, and a dance floor! There's also a little soda shop area if you want to grab a milk shake, and retail if you want something inspirational or vintage. Imagine a warehouse full of people of all ages having  old school fun.  Although we didn't get to enjoy the patio or order directly off the food truck due to the rain, it was a great night. After last night we decided it would be fun to do a family event there - the grandchildren would have a blast! Thanks again to everyone that came out in the rain, and to ...
