I had meant to post this photo last Friday, but posted a Christmas recap instead. I know that we are into the new year, but it is too cute not to share. This is Ella in 2020. She'd be 9 months old here. I remember that I bought a Santa hat that read "My First … Continue reading Friday Photo Flashback

Oh, Christmas Tree (2025)
*The majority of this blog was written in 2019 and has been updated with additional photos and stories. (2025) The kids were watching some Mickey Mouse holiday special on Disney+ recently. I cannot recall the name of the song, but some of the lyrics are a perfect lead in to this blog: "Every time I … Continue reading Oh, Christmas Tree (2025)
Cue The Music …
It does not take long for my wife to get into the Christmas Spirit. Longtime readers of this blog know that she listens to Christmas music all year round. Once November is here, the season is "officially" underway according to her. I took advantage of a semi-warm day over the weekend and took down all … Continue reading Cue The Music …

With Christmas less than a week away, I found myself looking back at old Christmas photos. In many cases, there are photos of people that are no longer with us. For the ones I remember, I can look back on the photos and smile. For the ones that I don't remember, I stare at the … Continue reading Friday Photo Flashback

We Have a Street! They finally blacktopped the street this weekend! They finished the driveways and sidewalks … Continue reading Weekend Business
Friday Photo Flashback
It's time for another Friday Photo Flashback. As we get closer to the Christmas holiday, I picked another Christmas photo to look at. It is from 1974. I found this on a hard drive. I am guessing that it is a scan that my brother did of some of the photos from my aunt. My … Continue reading Friday Photo Flashback
Making Spirits Bright
I saw a thing on Facebook that made me laugh. It said, "It only snows in November because people decorate early for Christmas." Blame me if you wish, but we needed to brighten things up over this way! There has been a lot going on in my life, some of which I have shared and … Continue reading Making Spirits Bright
