The Caregiver’s Tales
Tiny essays on life, nature, grief and other things that catch my fancy in the Texas Hill Country. Here’s how it all got started.

Track Thoughts
A day of running and jumping is in the books. The granddaughter finished ninth in the long jump, her 4X100 team finished 11th and missed the finals, but her 4X400 finished third and will run again today.
Learning to Walk
We got more rain yesterday morning, but it slacked off early and stayed partly cloudy. We got right at sixth tenths of an inch over the last two days. Not a record setting rain, but useful.
Keeping Track
I was in Fredericksburg yesterday when the clouds opened up and the bottom dropped out.
The Question
I was asked yesterday if I was an artist. I instinctively said, no. Then thought, wait, I’m a writer. Maybe that counts.
Run and Jump
I ran into a memory cloud yesterday. There was a brief pang of loss followed by a small pulse of tears.
Sweet Times
It was a wet rainy day by the river, but in a year of drought and burn bans, a wet rainy day by the river is still a good day.
Getting Ready
Another holiday weekend is in the books. Of course, this was a big one, a major Christian holiday, and I suppose it remains to be seen how everyone lives the message.
