We have had a lot of rain over the past couple days. It has rained so much that the small city park near us was completely flooded! While I slept today, Sam said there was torrential rains. When I got up, I could see that the backyard was flooded. I have to give credit where … Continue reading Spring Is For Splashing!

I'm just a guy who likes the classics. I love Old Time Radio Shows. I love Classic TV. I love Classic Movies. I love songs from the "Great American Songbook". I dig songs from the first decade of Rock and Roll. Don't get me wrong, I am not opposed to newer things. My musical taste ranges from Classical to Classic Rock and Country to Rap. I love a good book and am always looking for something to read. I tend to lean toward historical fiction, biographies, mysteries, and more.
I have always believed that our past (and the things we've experienced in it) make us who we are today. That being said, after reading through some old My Space blogs (yeah, that's about how long it's been since I blogged regularly), I decided that I should once again write. Welcome to my blog. I hope you find it interesting, thought provoking, and entertaining in some way.

Project Update
The "Closet to Nook" project is underway. I neglected to get a true "before" picture, but I did get some pictures of the early stages. The first thing my father-in-law and I did was rip out all of the shelving and such that was in the closet. The above is a look directly into the … Continue reading Project Update
Do You Ear What I Ear?
You may recall that our daughter had tubes put in her ears a year ago. This was due to many ear infections. A few days ago, she woke up with yellow nastiness cakes around her ear and on her pillow. They were able to get us in to the doctor, who says the eardrum has … Continue reading Do You Ear What I Ear?
My Next Project
I have been informed by my Project Manager (my wife) that I am tackling a new home improvement project this week. Thankfully, I will once again be under the direction and guidance of the Site Supervisor (my father-in-law). All joking aside, I couldn't really do anything without his help! He helped me redo our laundry … Continue reading My Next Project
I Smell Like a Shamrock!
Ok, to be fair, I don't know what a shamrock smells like. I tried to look it up on Google and got answers like: "...the fresh scent of lush, green hills kissed by a sparkle of sunshine..." " ...shamrock's smell like freshly poured Guinness, of course!" "...Shamrock kinda just smells like dirt and grass..." For some reason or another mint … Continue reading I Smell Like a Shamrock!
“What the Hell…Manns!?”
Today I had a small accident. The said accident caused me pain. If it hadn't hurt so bad, I might have been able to just yell the title of this blog and it would gotten a laugh from my wife. Instead, the whole thing just caused me to spout off a few curse words (which … Continue reading “What the Hell…Manns!?”
Brief Update
I have been reading more over the last few months. As a matter of fact, I've probably read more books in the last 6 months than I did all last year. I just finished up another one from Anthony Horowitz. He has earned a spot on my list of "must read" authors. I went through … Continue reading Brief Update
This Looks Like a Job For …
I could have used Bob the Builder or Handy Manny today! I would have settled for Tim the Toolman Taylor! Sam bought a climber/triangle/something or other for the kids and it arrived today. I figured it would be an easy thing to put together, especially since the reviews said so. Then, I opened the box … Continue reading This Looks Like a Job For …

Ella Being Honest – and Funny!
I truly need to organize the funny things that Ella says (and funny stories in general) and keep them in a book. Here are just a couple examples: Sam was getting the kids ready for bed this week. She was trying to get them in the bathroom to brush their teeth. The following conversation takes … Continue reading Ella Being Honest – and Funny!
