2021 – What a Year!

At midnight tonight, we'll start a brand new year - 2022. Some have compared a new year to a book. The book with 365 blank pages - one for each day - and said that the book is ours to write. There is truth to that. As I looked back over my "book" entitled "2021," … Continue reading 2021 – What a Year! →

Twas The Weekend Before Christmas …

Three more days until Christmas. I don't even know where the time has gone, but the holiday is FAST approaching! This past weekend I was pretty busy, and at the same time there were plenty of wonderful family moments together.

A Special Addition to the Tree

This is one of those blogs that is overdue. It's a "Thank You." One of the things that I love about Christmas is decorating the tree. Most of the ornaments each have a special memory.

A Musical Childhood Christmas Memory –

I love Christmas Music. I have blogged about it in the past. I have Christmas songs on my iPod that I can listen to at any time of the year, just because they make me feel good! I usually give my wife a hard time when she plays her Pandora on shuffle when she is … Continue reading A Musical Childhood Christmas Memory – →

A Great Fall Weekend!

This weekend marked the 14th anniversary of my mother's passing. It was very much on my mind through the entire weekend. However, there were so many other things going on that there was more happiness than sadness. My brother came into town from Ohio and got to meet his niece for the first time. We … Continue reading A Great Fall Weekend! →

Thankful Thoughts (updated)

Happy Thanksgiving! I am sitting on the couch next to my wife after having dinner and watching the Detroit Lions lose another game on National TV! (LOL - I get suckered in actually thinking they MAY win a game!) The Christmas tree is lit, the lights are low, and we are waiting to have some … Continue reading Thankful Thoughts (updated) →
