Back to the Grind …

Back to Work ... After three weeks off work, tonight I have to return to the grind. I was lucky to be able to take some time off to be with Sam and the kids. While showering yesterday, I realized that the time I'd be home was coming to an end. Sam joked that I … Continue reading Back to the Grind … →

Song Draft 2021 – Pick 9 – Steamroller Blues

We are heading into the final two rounds of the 2021 Song Draft. Early on, one of the participants stated that no one had picked a Beatles song, which led to a couple of them entering the draft. I have noticed the absence of another artist that needs to be in the draft - The … Continue reading Song Draft 2021 – Pick 9 – Steamroller Blues →

Been a Crazy 12 Days!

October is almost over already and the time is just flying! Since the birth of our son, we have been on the go nonstop and are longing for sleep. Trying to find time to write an update between diaper changes has certainly been a challenge! Ella is getting used to having a baby in the … Continue reading Been a Crazy 12 Days! →

Song Draft 2021 – Round 8 Pick – Jump, Jive an’ Wail!

With all the baby stuff happening here this week, I almost forgot to post my song draft pick! This is my 8th pick for the 2021 Song Draft. As we come down to the final three picks, I have found it more difficult to select my songs. This one wasn't even on my list of … Continue reading Song Draft 2021 – Round 8 Pick – Jump, Jive an’ Wail! →

He’s Here!

Our son made his entrance into the world this week! As you know, there were a few times that we actually thought he'd be arriving very early. Needless to say, there was a lot of stress. For the past three weeks, every time Sam had her OB/GYN appointment, I was ready with bags at the … Continue reading He’s Here! →

My List Keeps Growing

I wanted to do a quick blog about something that has been on my mind for the past couple days. My prayer list seems to get longer and longer each and every day. I can't even really blame it on the pandemic, although it certainly has played a part in it. As I scroll through … Continue reading My List Keeps Growing →

We’re Still Waiting …

I really thought that our baby was going to arrive this weekend. Nope. Sam worked Sunday night. I had the phone volume turned up, because I just knew that she was going to call to tell me she was in labor. Nope. Sam was sent home from work on Monday night because some patients no … Continue reading We’re Still Waiting … →

Alternative Cuss Words

I have mentioned the cartoon Bluey on here in the past. On the Bluey Facebook page a while back, they had a video of the dad (Bandit) using alternate expressions where swear words might be used. Exclamations like "Cheese and jam," "Beans on toast," and "Biscuits" are used in place of swear words. "Biscuits!" is … Continue reading Alternative Cuss Words →

Song Draft 2021 – Pick 7 – Love Runs Out

We are in the 7th round of the 2021 Song Draft and I'm throwing a curveball at you this round. If you've been following my choices up until now, they are all what many would consider to be "oldies." Almost all of them have a local (Michigan/Detroit) link to them. For this round, I have … Continue reading Song Draft 2021 – Pick 7 – Love Runs Out →
