Before Thanksgiving, there was a perfect 70 degree day. That was the day I should have put the Christmas lights up outside. I didn't. Thankfully, I took advantage of a breezy 50ish degree day and was outside rigging up the lights. After I finished, the following conversation took place between my wife and me: Sam: … Continue reading Merry and Bright
It’s Off To The North Pole!
Here is just another reason I love our neighborhood. Our neighborhood has a Facebook page. We can all communicate with each other on it. This is the same page where I found out a neighbor needed their lawn mowed a while back. It is also the page that we found out about a neighbor girl … Continue reading It’s Off To The North Pole!
Holiday Recycling Project – The Year Without a Santa Claus
In December of 2019, I took part in The Happy Holidays Blogathon. For that event, I chose to write about one of my favorite holiday specials - The Year Without a Santa Claus. This special is obviously a favorite for many other people, too. I say that because every year since I posted it, it … Continue reading Holiday Recycling Project – The Year Without a Santa Claus
Friday Photo Flashback
Time for another edition of the Friday Photo Flashback. Today, we go back to May of 1987 to the annual Band Banquet. I stumbled on the above photo in a stack of pictures from my dad. I realize that the photo is a bit blurry, but if you look carefully, you will see that I … Continue reading Friday Photo Flashback

This blog is actually a recycling of an earlier Thanksgiving blog from three years ago, updated for 2022. I have gained many new followers over … Continue reading Giving Thanks (Updated)

The headline read: "During the Holidays, You'll Need a Break From Your Family After Just 4 Hours!" The story went on to talk about how … Continue reading Holiday Thought –
Gulp!
I had to take Andrew to have a Barium Swallow Test this week. It was yet another test tied to the laryngomalacia. Since he had his surgery, it seems like he is having trouble swallowing food and drink. If you've never had one of these, I don't recommend them. I had one done some time … Continue reading Gulp!
It’s Kindergarten At Work!
You never know what you are gonna find in your work e-mail. I have a fine example of that for you. An e-mail came out informing us that there was a "Snoopy" coloring book in our break room. Crayons were provided (in packages of 4 - Red, Green, Blue, and Yellow) and we were asked … Continue reading It’s Kindergarten At Work!
I See His Point – And Agree
Stop with the remakes! I've said it time and time again. I stumbled on this video clip today and was glad to hear someone who feels the way I do. https://youtu.be/_wt0uk2DNxI His name is Chris Gore and he, like me, despises these Disney live action remakes! Give it a watch and let me know your … Continue reading I See His Point – And Agree
