I always enjoy a good "writing prompt" and have used them on occasion to write when I struggle for an idea. With the features I have going now, I tend to overlook them. I suppose I should jot down the good ones and save them for later. One of the bloggers I follow recently answered … Continue reading Friday Photo Flashback
(After) Father’s Day Lunch
One of the hardest things to do it seems is to get all my kids together. There are a lot of factors involved in this - jobs, appointments, certain people, and schedules in general.

Tune Tuesday – A Birthday Song (Sort of)
Today my second oldest son, Dimitri turns 17 years old. When I saw that Tune Tuesday fell on his birthday, I wanted to feature a song that has a connection to him.

I just finished another good book that had been on my "To Read" list. My wife read it before I did and based on her reaction, I chose to read it next.

Friday Photo Flashback
I posted this week about our little getaway to my father-in-law's cabin. As I mentioned, there were many things about that trip that reminded me of our trips to Caseville when I was a kid. Coincidentally, I stumbled on a picture I had not seen in some time from one of those trips. As a … Continue reading Friday Photo Flashback
A Much Needed Break
I had a few days off over this past weekend and I got some much needed family time. The time started on a sad note, as Thursday morning, my wife's family gathered at the National Cemetery where there was a small service for her grandma.
