Another Weird Dream …

I had to laugh when I opened my work email tonight. Apparently, I didn't want to forget the weird dream I had today and emailed myself about it. I was obviously half asleep when I typed the email because of the unbelievable amount of spelling errors in it. To me, there is nothing more annoying … Continue reading Another Weird Dream … →

Gimme a Brake!

I am far from a mechanic. Looking back, I wish I had taken Auto Shop in school. I am truly clueless about cars. My buddy Jeff was always my "go to" when I had questions about cars. The first time my car needed brakes, he told me that I could save a bunch of money … Continue reading Gimme a Brake! →

When I was a baby, however, they came in jars. It's actually funny to look at that picture. I remember my parents … Continue reading Gourd Ahead And Make Fun of Me →

Library Memories

Yesterday's blog about taking Ella to the library led to various conversations that brought back many of my own library memories. My first trip to the library was of course during grade school.

First Trip To The Library

Between Sam and I, we easily read Ella 5-12 books a day. Usually after we finish one, she signs "more" because she wants to want to hear it again. She really needs a bigger book shelf, because it seems like we are always bringing new books home from the store for her. We signed her … Continue reading First Trip To The Library →
