Ran across a news story about children jailed for an armed holdup. At the time of the robbery, they were all 14 years old!! My first question was, “where are the parents?”. The article mentions that the three children were cousins, but makes no mention of parents or guardians. Could it have happened in my […]

Today I took a trip back in time, sort of. For just a little while, I was back 20+ years ago having a donut with my little girl. She’s no longer the 2 or 3 year old I would carry on my shoulders for 4 blocks to the donut shop, and she definitely eats more

As a society we are surrounded by coffee. In larger cities there have been Starbucks on every corner. Stretching the point a little, but they did just close a number of “extra” shops. There are also a number of other coffee places that are national/international brands. Even the likes of McDonalds are starting to sell
I thought today was going to be a real downer. Work seemed endless today with barely a break for lunch. If things could go wrong, they all waited for today. But with some luck, I had a much better late afternoon/early evening. As told earlier, I went to a movie. I went with not 1

For the past four days, I have been helping out my friend Amie while she babysits while her mom is down in Texas. You see, Cheryl (Amie’s mom) went down to Texas to help her daughter-in-law, Angel, and Angel’s son, Aidien, move up here, while Zac (Amie’s brother) is over seas. The problem, what was going
This day actually started some time yesterday evening. During a thunderstorm in the area and a tornado close to us, 4 outlets in our house went out. I’m thinking something in the storm caused it, because to was only part of a complete circuit. Looked like I would have to replace at least on outlet.
When I was in high school, I was in a peer group called Snowball and one of our activities was to write “warm fuzzies” about each other. Warm fuzzies are kind thoughts. When we told family and friends we are now expecting a boy instead of a girl, we got lots of warm fuzzies, so

Number 3 out of four. What can I say about this one… The first things that pop in my head are peanut butter, chocolate, frogs and of course Star Wars. While she still lives at home, I tend to see her only on rare occasions. She is in college and has a boyfriend. Those two
Yes, there is another daughter… Read More »
