Up To Snow Good

We had our first big snow over the weekend. It's always fun to watch how a puppy who has never seen snow will react to it. It was early, like 4am early, and Mabel made it clear that she had to go outside. As I opened the door, I could see that there were about … Continue reading Up To Snow Good →

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 … →

Life’s Little Moments

At my daughter's school, they have a group called the Watch D.O.G.S. (Dad's of Great Students). Dads, uncles, big brothers, grandpas and other male role models can volunteer for an entire day. You start your day with your child, then you move to another class room. Sometimes you are working as a hall monitor or … Continue reading Life’s Little Moments →

Friday Photo Flashback

I found today's photo in a stack of pictures I found in a box. Growing up, we always had dogs. The two we had throughout most of my childhood were Lucy and Daisy. Daisy was a beagle and we got her when she was a puppy. Lucy would bark. Daisy would howl. We had never … Continue reading Friday Photo Flashback →

Winter Karma

We woke up today to about an inch and a half of snow. There is more on the way before the week is done. It's been fun to see how Daisy reacts to the snow. She is not quite sure what to do with it. She sniffs it. She rolls in it. She eats it. It's quite a scene. When she … Continue reading Winter Karma →

It's lunch time at work. In just a few hours I will punch out and head home for the holiday weekend. I am truly looking forward to four days with my family. It's been a very busy year for all of us. I was ready to write that my son had his last appointment for the year … Continue reading Ready for the Holiday Weekend →

Short Week

I am so glad for the short work week. I'm looking forward to family time. Sam and I have Friday off and we are going to the Wild Lights at the Detroit Zoo. We did this almost every year we have been together, but haven't ventured through it with the kids yet. This will be … Continue reading Short Week →

Thursday Thoughts

I'm forcing myself to write today. I have some funny things to share, and these are the type of things that have kept me going the last couple weeks. Feeling ... not right When I got the diagnosis of ADHD recently and began the new medication, I had hoped that I would start to feel … Continue reading Thursday Thoughts →

Another Test

So much testing is happening with our little guy. Yesterday, Sam took him in for the Barium Swallow study. He's been choking a lot and while it may be because of low muscle tone, they wanted to see it in more detail. Next test is his EEG to check out the Neuro stuff. One of … Continue reading Another Test →

Weekend Business

My last blog was a "throwaway." I've had a lot going on, yet I was struggling to find something to write about. I stepped away for a couple days and now I have a few things worth sharing. We Have a Street! They finally blacktopped the street this weekend! They finished the driveways and sidewalks … Continue reading Weekend Business →
