A Very Happy Father’s Day

As Father's Day approached this year, I wasn't really sure what to expect. My oldest son works so much, and when he isn't working, he's usually hanging out with his friends.

What a wacky dream…

Dreams are funny. So was mine last night. The above is the cover of a journal you can buy off Amazon to write down your crazy dreams.

Covid Christmas Memories

I think you would agree that Christmas was a lot different this year!  In a way, it was sad because it was Ella's first Christmas and it should have been spent visiting grandparents and family.  Thank goodness for video chats!

“Hello Again, Hello …”

Long time ... no blog Hello, my friend.  Sorry I have been away for a bit.  My last blog led to many friends on Facebook reaching out to see if I was okay.  I wasn't.  When I wrote that blog, I obviously was a bit frazzled, but had yet to reach my breaking point.  That … Continue reading “Hello Again, Hello …” →

Holiday “Letters”

Today's blog comes from a Daily Writing Prompt.  I thought this was a fun idea.  Some of my answers came immediately, while others I had to think a little bit.  Here is the prompt:  "Make an alphabetized list of the 26 best things about the holiday season, with one item for each letter.  Choose your … Continue reading Holiday “Letters” →

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!
