Amazon Alexa Echo For Christmas, my dad gave us an Amazon Alexa. I know many people have these and use them for a variety of things. On Christmas Day, I set it up and started to mess around with it.

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!
No More “Bloobies”
When my oldest son was growing up, he called the vacuum a "latchoom." Both of my oldest sons called pizza "Pee-cuh." Naturally, as they got older, they began to call those (and other) things by the correct word. When that happened, it always left me sad. That same thing happened today. Every since she started … Continue reading No More “Bloobies”

In it, the singer talks of the wonderful views from his porch as well as the various things he has seen in life. His favorite view, however, is from his front porch looking inside his house. I've … Continue reading My Side Porch Looking In

Christmas “Cheese”
Over the weekend, Sam and I took Ella and AJ to get Christmas pictures done. We scheduled them a few weeks ago. We had a few different outfits that we wanted to get their pictures in, but we weren't able to do more than one. We went back and forth as to whether or not … Continue reading Christmas “Cheese”
Do You Hear What She Hears?
Since having her ear tubes put in, my daughter's vocabulary grows daily! This morning when I woke up, she was counting to four! She is asking for foods by name now. I had forgotten just how amazing it is to witness. There is a set of train tracks that is maybe a quarter mile from … Continue reading Do You Hear What She Hears?
The Quiet/Loud Game
My daughter has a new "game" she plays with me. It makes me laugh and I love it. Ever since she had her tube surgery, she is talking up a storm! Sometimes she is at the opposite end of the room and will for no reason just start repeating, "Hi, Dada!" "Hi, Mama!" over and … Continue reading The Quiet/Loud Game
