Father’s Day 2023

Father's Day Morning I found out at 3:40am that Mowgli, the new kitten, has quite a loud "meow!" I tried to go back to sleep, but for some reason, I was not able to. So I put on a pot of coffee and grabbed my book. Sam got home from work and had the kids … Continue reading Father’s Day 2023 →

Happy Father’s Day

Well, the kitten woke me up about 3:30 this morning. He's an early bird apparently. So I decided to take advantage of the kids still sleeping and I made a pot of coffee. I figured I'd read a bit. I then remembered that today is Father's Day. So I wanted to take a moment to … Continue reading Happy Father’s Day →

The Cat’s Meow

On the old Soupy Sales show, one of the easiest way to set up a joke was to have someone come banging on his door. One of my favorite lines (that no one else finds funny) goes like this: (Door Knocking) (Soupy opens the door) "Yes?" (Man at door) "Well, I guess you don't like … Continue reading The Cat’s Meow →

Loving Libby!

If you were to look at my Goodreads account, you would see that I am currently reading 3 books. A friend asked me how I could do that. I'm not sure why this seems odd to folks, but I am. The first book I am reading, is my slowest read. That one usually sits on … Continue reading Loving Libby! →

Book Recommendation – One Italian Summer – Rebecca Serle

Let me say right up front that this book is not one that I would have normally picked up to read. I tend to stick with mysteries, true crime, biographies, and historical fiction and non-fiction. There were two reasons that I decided to add this to my "to read" list. First, it was set in … Continue reading Book Recommendation – One Italian Summer – Rebecca Serle →

Stay Golden

My wife and I had just started dating and she told me she bought me a shirt. She swore that I would "love it." When it arrived, she immediately made me put it on. My first thought was that I was never going to wear it! I eventually caved and began wearing it around the … Continue reading Stay Golden →

Book Recommendation – Eight Perfect Murders By Peter Swanson

I recently finished another book that was on my "To Read" list. It was one that I actually listened to the audiobook while driving to and from work. To be honest, I hoped for a bit more, but it was still a very good book. Here is the Goodreads synopsis: A chilling tale of psychological … Continue reading Book Recommendation – Eight Perfect Murders By Peter Swanson →

We Are “THAT” Couple

When Sam and I got married, a friend gave us two hand towels like the ones pictured above. Ours said, "Mr. Right" and "Mrs. Always Right!" In the years that we've been together, the only time Sam and I have ever "matched" was when we bought a ridiculous pair of Christmas pajamas! After that, we … Continue reading We Are “THAT” Couple →

A New Car!!!

No, I wasn't on the Price is Right. No, I didn't win a new car. However, here is a story of how everything kind of fell into place. The Hyundai (The Goose Mobile) I have been driving was closing in on 200,000 miles. It was almost time to get new tires and put brakes on … Continue reading A New Car!!! →
