Birthday Recap

On Saturday, I celebrated birthday 51. I worked the night before, so I came home and literally went to bed. Sam and I had plans, so I wanted to get some sleep before we left. Even before the clock struck midnight, my Facebook was blowing up with countless birthday wishes. When I woke up, there … Continue reading Birthday Recap →

Trip #52

Today is the 12th anniversary of my 39th birthday. As much as I'd like to be "Forever 39" like Jack Benny, the truth is that I am officially logged 51 years on the planet. Today begins Trip #52. People are always asked "What do you want for your birthday?" This blog is my answer (or … Continue reading Trip #52 →

Like A Good Neighbor …

Sam and I are truly blessed to have fantastic neighbors. We love our neighborhood. We all really watch out for each other, and help each other when we can. Granted, I don't know all of our neighbors by name, but I talk to many of them on my afternoon walks with Ella. When I first … Continue reading Like A Good Neighbor … →

Temporary Fix?

I had to do something I've never had to do before - and I don't even know if it will stop the issue. Shut It Down - For Now... My Facebook page is my main social media account. I have an Instagram account, but I rarely post personal stuff on it. I use it mainly … Continue reading Temporary Fix? →

National Twilight Zone Day

My Facebook friend, Bill, shared that today is National Twilight Zone Day! He says, Twilight Zone Day is mysterious, weird, surreal and perhaps a little scary. I can think of many other adjectives, but I think you get the picture. Every once in a while, you have a day like this. And, May 11th is … Continue reading National Twilight Zone Day →

This follower decided to make themselves known by commenting on a post I made. By … Continue reading Social Media Spring Cleaning →

So this past week, I put Ella in her stroller and we took a 2 and a half mile walk around the neighborhood. She loves going … Continue reading A Morning Spring Walk →

Ok, Ok, I’ll Write ….

I'm writing under protest. I still don't feel up to writing today. My last post was three days ago, and I wish I could say that I am past it. I'm not. I have nothing planned out, which is kind of a "no-no" when you are writing. I am only writing because I am forcing … Continue reading Ok, Ok, I’ll Write …. →

Not in the Mood to Write

It's probably not a good idea to write when you are angry, so I won't. Maybe I will come back and elaborate in the future. For now, this will do .....

And the baby is a ….

I've been waiting for today for weeks! Because of Covid, my wife's OB/GYN is only allowing the patient in the office. With Ella, I was at every ultrasound. I looked forward to hearing the baby's heart beat each month. I loved that special togetherness that we felt when we were at the office. It has … Continue reading And the baby is a …. →
