For years l've written about what my grandkids were up to, into or moving away from. It has always been about how my life has interacted with theirs—the ups, downs and 'looking forward to's. Since this summer, I have stood on the sidelines while my husband has been...
Earlier this month, John and I went on a small vacation. Here's how it went. Planning Our Trip We didn’t want to do anything too huge or expensive, so we decided to take our bikes to a couple of the state parks around the Midwest and explore. I don’t believe we’ve had...
As our grandkids grow older, our ski trips are changing. Our Memories on the Slopes Years ago, when our kids were in elementary and junior high (yes, back in the old days when it was called junior high), we would take our daughters skiing in Colorado during winter...
Last week, my husband John and I visited Rowe Sanctuary to watch the cranes. We knew it was early in the season, but John had a meeting as chair for the Spring Creek Prairie Stewardship Board. It was great timing for all of the events. Our Most Memorable Moments...
It’s hot out there, but summer weather shouldn’t stop you from exercising, gardening or enjoying other activities outside – in fact, getting out in nature helps with stress levels! But it’s important to be prepared and proactive to avoid heat-related problems. The...
One of my summer jobs is to keep the weeds in check. I do my best to patrol the yard, our raised garden and an area between a couple of houses that I call the “no person’s land”. I’ve discovered that if I patrol at least twice a week, I can keep on top of the task—heaven forbid we go on a two-week vacation.
There’s spring in Nebraska, and then there’s SPRING in Nebraska. I’ve lived in this great state all my life, but for some reason this year’s cool temperatures have been challenging for me.
Our granddaughter stopped by after school the other day. I asked her how her classes were going, and of course, she said “Fine.” I followed up by asking which class was her favorite. And that’s how I learned pickleball…
I started getting excited about the 2017 eclipse at the beginning of the year. I knew it was coming, I knew it was going to be a once-in-a-lifetime event, and I knew I wanted a party.
I’m the grandma of four beautiful and loving grandchildren. They teach me a great deal about life and love. They give more to me than I’ll ever be able to give to them. This past week, though, being a grandma was a little different.
I couldn’t wait for this year’s county fair. I was looking forward to it. This year would be the first year that all three of our kids would be showing sheep and cows, and they would all be at the fair with their dad and grandpa. Which meant free time for me to walk, read or relax. (Yes, probably a little selfish.)
It’s summer, and for me the best time to spend with my grandkids! The days are longer, school is out and we can do so many things outside! I’m a nature freak, so for me, it’s a great time to use whatever we see outside to teach.
With temperatures rising into the 100s, it’s important to take precautions so your children avoid heat exhaustion or heat stroke.
Heather Talbott, Trauma Outreach and Injury Prevention Coordinator at Bryan Health, shares eight ways to keep kids safe during the summer!
For many, as soon as we turned 16 we parked our bicycles and traded them in for vehicles on four wheels. I recently rediscovered the joys of cycling and there really is no better time than now for you to do the same.
I grew up hunting, fishing and being in the outdoors. Some of my fondest memories of childhood are being in the outdoors. My brother and I would be out in the lawn or garden, but most of all we loved to hunt mushrooms with dad and grandpa.
May is skin cancer awareness month and a good time to reflect on our own views on tanning and the sun. First, remember to do your personal skin exam. If you see any new or changing spots on your skin – or anyone else’s skin – please have those areas checked by your doctor. It’s also a good time to remember that taking care in the sun is important for people of all ages – from newborns to adults.
