Prompt: That Was Then, This Is Now

Maggie, at From Cave Walls, and Lauren, at LSS Attitude of Gratitude, alternate hosting Throwback Thursday. The idea of the prompt is for them to give us a topic and for us to write a post in which we share our own memories or experiences about the given topic. This week’s prompt is: That Was Then And … Continue reading Prompt: That Was Then, This Is Now →

Thoughts on The Measure

A week or so ago, I mentioned that I had started reading The Measure by Nikki Erlick. In case you missed it, here is the Goodreads "tease" about the book: Here is the summary from Goodreads: Eight ordinary people. One extraordinary choice.It seems like any other day. You wake up, pour a cup of coffee, … Continue reading Thoughts on The Measure →

Happy 246th Birthday, USA!

My family and I had a nice weekend celebrating America's birthday. My wife had to work Sunday night, so she came home and slept for part of the day before getting up to get ready for the festivities. As I have mentioned in the past, our city puts on a nice little fireworks show that … Continue reading Happy 246th Birthday, USA! →

My Heart is Full

Recently I posted a blog that was difficult to write. It was regarding some things with my son. It dealt with some hurt I was sorting through. I am happy to say that I was able to see him today. He is currently having difficulty with a summer school math class. He asked if he … Continue reading My Heart is Full →

Cast the Movie of Your Life

The Word Press App on my phone will offer a daily writing prompt to bloggers. I subscribe to a few "prompt" emails and such, and they can certainly be thought starters. Today's prompt was one I had considered before and I may have even been asked a similar question by a Facebook friend. The prompt: … Continue reading Cast the Movie of Your Life →

Something to look forward to

It seems like forever since my wife and I have actually had a night (or day for that matter) out. We will remedy that tomorrow. Even though I work tonight, I have arranged for the kids to visit Nana and Papa tomorrow so that we can enjoy some time together. Sam's birthday is coming up … Continue reading Something to look forward to →

Memorable Memorial Day Weekend

I hope this blog finds you well rested after the holiday weekend. It was a relaxing weekend for us for the most part. We had lots of outside time and actually got to enjoy some family time.

A Fun and Busy Weekend

To say this weekend was not a hectic one would be a lie. In all honesty, the entire month has been busy for Sam and me. Sam has been running back and forth to various doc appointments and helmet appointments, plus helping her folks out with her sister. Both of us are running on little … Continue reading A Fun and Busy Weekend →

Should I Be Proud or Just Chuckle?

This is one of those quickie blogs I wanted to share so I would always remember it. While at work one night last week, I received the following text message from Sam: It's silly little things like this that I will forever look back on and laugh out loud! Oh well, I picked up a … Continue reading Should I Be Proud or Just Chuckle? →

Weekend Wrap Up

What a crazy weekend! As much as I hate not getting a lot of sleep, I have to admit that some of the funniest stories I write about are due to lack of sleep. Take Saturday for example: We needed groceries and a few things, so Sam went to the store. On her way home, … Continue reading Weekend Wrap Up →
