This weekend was very odd. Saturday my mother-in-law called to see if the kids wanted to go to the circus on Sunday. They were excited and I took them over to spend the night, so they could go with Nana after they woke up. I went home Saturday night and played on the Xbox for … Continue reading Huh? Pardon Me?

‘Twas The Day After Christmas…
Hello my friend! I hope that you and yours had a very Merry and Blessed Christmas! We're still in recovery mode here. Christmas Eve morning started with Andrew throwing up. Yay! So we were up about 4am. Ella was up shortly after that because of a bad dream. It was an early start to the … Continue reading ‘Twas The Day After Christmas…
Christmas Eves Past
Grandpa, Grandma, and baby Keith *This is a reworking of a blog I originally wrote in 2018 For as long as I can remember, Christmas Eve was always spent with Grandma and Grandpa P. when we were kids.

Work Hijinx From Twinkles
When my wife decided that we were going to do the Elf on the Shelf thing, I wondered just how difficult it would be. When you see those funny videos of a mom or dad shooting up in bed at 5am saying "The Elf!" and then running to move it, that is not a joke. … Continue reading Work Hijinx From Twinkles

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)
I Tumble For Ya …
The above photo, done by AI, probably has the look on my face correct. However, I actually fell INTO the house (and I'm not talking about inside). On Friday, my wife ordered groceries online. She asked if I would run up to Meijer to get them. I knew the wagon was still in the back … Continue reading I Tumble For Ya …

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 …
Sometimes You Gotta Do What You Gotta Do
My doctor is not going to be happy. That's why I am waiting to tell her about my latest life change. I've been on second shift for over a year now and I love it. My blood pressure is good, my mood is better, and I actually get to enjoy an hour lunch. However, after … Continue reading Sometimes You Gotta Do What You Gotta Do
Life’s Little Moments
I've said this numerous times, but it is so special when I can get all of my kids together. My oldest had called and asked if we could go to dinner on Father's Day. I told him that I would like that and suggested we go somewhere cheap. My thoughts were to go to a … Continue reading Life’s Little Moments
Father’s Day
Happy Father's Day to my "Dad" friends! I hope you are being celebrated today. Andrew and Ella couldn't wait for today, so they gave me my gifts yesterday. When they got up today and Sam reminded them that it was Father's Day, Ella said, "That was yesterday." Ever since, she has referred to yesterday as … Continue reading Father’s Day
