I am not a fan of the dentist. I really hate going. Every time I go, I feel like I am dropping a ton of cash - even with insurance! The last time I went to the dentist was three years ago. I am not proud of this. The last time I went, I blogged … Continue reading 2 Hours and No New Toothbrush?!
A Voice Silenced. A Friend Lost. A Legend Remembered.
In my radio career, I have been lucky enough to work with some fantastic people. Pictured with me above are two of them. Sadly, I received word just after Christmas that the silly guy holding the coffee pot, passed away. Richard D. Haase was one of a kind. Readers of this blog may remember that … Continue reading A Voice Silenced. A Friend Lost. A Legend Remembered.
Christmas 2022 – A Look Back
Hello, my friends. When I last blogged, we were gearing up for a big snow storm. While we didn't get as much as they were saying, roads were still dangerous and as a bonus we got our white Christmas. I had to laugh at something I saw on Facebook, and had to share here. This … Continue reading Christmas 2022 – A Look Back
No Need To Dream About It …
It will be a white Christmas for us this year! Thanks to the winter storm that is rolling through. Snow continues to fall and the warning remains in effect until after midnight. I was a bit worried that I would be driving home in the middle of the storm this morning. I knew that road … Continue reading No Need To Dream About It …

We're supposed to get a huge snow storm here over the next few hours. I was hoping to find a second to write a Christmas wish to my readers, but I am not sure I will be able to. I found this poem and thought it was worth a share, just in case I don't … Continue reading Christmas Magic
Taking “Elf-ies” – Part 2
When we first got Twinkles, our Elf on the Shelf, from Sam's mom, I wasn't sure that we'd be up for creating something new for it every night leading up to Christmas. Over the last month, I discovered an Elf on the Shelf Facebook group with ideas and stumbled across many on the internet as … Continue reading Taking “Elf-ies” – Part 2
Photos with the Jolly Old Elf
We took Ella and Andrew up to Cabella's after their dentist appointment to get pictures with Santa yesterday. I thought for sure that I had posted some of my childhood Santa pictures before. However, after glancing through some of my past Christmas themed blogs, I discovered that I hadn't. For what it is worth, it … Continue reading Photos with the Jolly Old Elf
Pre-Holiday Weekend Wrap Up
It is hard to believe that we are just 4 days away from Christmas. Someone observed that time moves a whole lot faster in December if you are an adult. This is so true! As a kid, it seemed to crawl by as we waited for Christmas. SNOW! This weekend kept us pretty busy. We … Continue reading Pre-Holiday Weekend Wrap Up
The Secret of Christmas
Bing Crosby has been called the "Voice of Christmas." Rightfully so. There were many years that Bing's music was the background soundtrack as my family and I opened gifts. His versions of White Christmas, Jingle Bells, Mele Kalikimaka, and Santa Claus is Coming to Town are holiday staples. You simply cannot turn on the radio … Continue reading The Secret of Christmas
I Could Write a Book – Using Her Words
In trying to find a picture to use for this blog, the above one came up in a Google search. I could see me and Sam filling up multiple volumes with just the things Ella says. Just within the past 2 weeks, there have been plenty of potential entries. Here are just a few: Manger … Continue reading I Could Write a Book – Using Her Words
