(Sort of a) Friday Photo Flashback

Earlier in the week, I recapped our Memorial Day Weekend. I found a couple pictures that I wanted to share, but didn't necessarily feel that any one of them would be worthy of an entire blog. So technically, we are "flashing back" but only a little bit. Our dog, Mabel, is spoiled. She assumes that … Continue reading (Sort of a) Friday Photo Flashback →

A Memorable Memorial Day

It was nice to have a couple of family days this week. I don’t work Mondays, so I took Tuesday as my holiday. I was still busy, but busy doing things with my wife and kids. On Monday morning, my wife saw that Tractor Supply Company had fruit trees on sale. She’s been talking about … Continue reading A Memorable Memorial Day →

A Relaxing Holiday Weekend

I'm just now sitting to write about the holiday weekend, because it was busy, but relaxing. When we ordered our new dryer, we all assumed that the 220 plug was hot and ready to work. It wasn't. You may remember last week I mentioned that the people who put our air conditioning unit in, used … Continue reading A Relaxing Holiday Weekend →

Projects – Done

Over the weekend, I finished up some of the projects on my "To Do" list. One of them, I've blogged about a couple times. I feel like the nook is officially complete. I wanted to get a cushion for the bench, but the size was odd. I really thought that I was going to have … Continue reading Projects – Done →

Even though we are officially still in Spring, it felt like Summer! We've got a water table that the kids love to … Continue reading Weekend Work & Weekend Fun →

Today, however, is Veteran's Day and I have a few photos that I want to share. The camera at … Continue reading Friday Photo Flashback →

A Perfect Weekend to Celebrate

Saturday I got to spend some time with my wife and celebrate her birthday. I arranged for Nana and Papa to watch the kids so we could have some time together. I am so grateful for them. I worked Friday night, and when I came home, I went right to bed, so I could catch … Continue reading A Perfect Weekend to Celebrate →

Memorial Day Weekend Recap

Pet Peeve I have a few pet peeves. One of those is people who say "Happy Memorial Day." To me, this is an example of someone who just doesn't get what the day signifies. Memorial Day is not like Christmas, Thanksgiving, or a birthday. Memorial Day is a day for remembrance and honor! I saw … Continue reading Memorial Day Weekend Recap →

Only 55%?!

While prepping for my radio show this afternoon, I stumbled on something that just sickened me! According to a new survey, only 55% of Americans know the real meaning of Memorial Day. Just over half? This just angers me to no end! HOW do people NOT know what it really means? It's IN the … Continue reading Only 55%?! →
