Date Night

I took Monday off work this week so my wife and I could have a date night.  We lined up a sitter (Nana) and began to decide what we wanted to do. There have been plenty of things that my wife and I have wanted to do for a while, so I started looking at … Continue reading Date Night →

Throwback Thursday

I promised my buddy Max a "happy" post, since the last few were sad in nature. When I opened up the Blog "Reader," I saw a prompt from Maggie at From Cave Walls.

Halloween Dress Up

Tonight on ABC, one of the greatest Halloween specials of all time aired again - It's The Great Pumpkin, Charlie Brown.  It is in this special that poor Charlie Brown utters those sad words, "I got a rock." In that scene, Lucy is wearing a witch mask.  It got me to thinking about Halloweens of … Continue reading Halloween Dress Up →
