A Looney Afternoon

Yesterday, my daughter and I watched cartoons. We also went to the symphony. Actually, we did both at the same time. We spent the afternoon at the Detroit Opera House for Bugs Bunny at the Symphony. The day was supposed to be my friend Margaret, the kids, my wife and me. Margaret bought the tickets … Continue reading A Looney Afternoon →

Small Life Recap

I'm not sure why I am just now getting around to writing a quick life recap. I guess I didn't think I was as busy as I was. Prior to Easter, my friend Margaret stopped by to see the kids. They always love when she stops by. She was passing by our house on her … Continue reading Small Life Recap →

Hoco 2025

I didn't get a chance to blog yesterday. I've been on the go since Friday. I took the day off on Friday so I could walk with Ella in the homecoming parade. After the Grand Marshall and Alumni Couple of the Year, the Kindergarten classes from the district were featured together. They walked behind a … Continue reading Hoco 2025 →

Kiwi for Kids

I had never heard of the Kiwi Company until my friend Margaret told me about it. She wanted to send the kids a "crate" every month. My kids LOVE them! If you have children (any age), these are perfect for those rainy days when they cannot go outside and play. We had a few of … Continue reading Kiwi for Kids →

Our Ballerina Girl

Ella has been in dance for a while now. Sam has been taking her to the classes because I work on the nights of class. Outside of her showing me a few things at home, I hadn't had a chance to see her dance yet. Friday night was the dress rehearsal and both Sam and … Continue reading Our Ballerina Girl →

Bestie Birthday Wish

While she has been mentioned before in a few blogs, I have one friend who has never had one completely devoted to her. Today, on her birthday, I want to rectify that. As we get older, memories tend to fade. Details can get lost. We may remember things a bit differently than they actual happened. … Continue reading Bestie Birthday Wish →

Fun At The County Fair

I got a call last Friday from my friend Margaret. She told me that the county fair was going on up by her and that Saturday was the last day. She asked if maybe we'd like to go. My wife had to work that night, so she was unable to go, but the kids and … Continue reading Fun At The County Fair →

Weekend Shenanigans

I saw many folks posting photos on social media yesterday for St. Patrick's Day with shirts saying "Let the Shenanigans Begin!" Why is it that we only seem to hear this word around March 17th? It's a great word that can be used in so many situations outside of an Irish "holiday." I encourage you … Continue reading Weekend Shenanigans →

A Royally Good Time

The kids got to go to a neat outing today. The county hosted a "Royal Ball." They had a DJ, many games and activities, and many of the staff dressed as the various princesses. I had to work, but Sam and her mom took the kids and they had a blast! There were plenty of … Continue reading A Royally Good Time →

A Look Back at 2023

Perhaps this year I will plan a bit better. I hoped to post this year-end recap on January 1, 2024, but life had other plans. If I made New Year's Resolutions, planning ahead just might be one of mine. Better late than never ... 2023 was a year of ups and downs, but that's what makes life … Continue reading A Look Back at 2023 →
