Thanksgiving – 2025

Wishing you and yours a very Happy Thanksgiving!! When I worked on the radio, we would often “recycle” bits. We would take something we had done in the past and “re-run” it, often updating it to be current. This blog is actually a recycling of an earlier Thanksgiving blog and an updated list of things … Continue reading Thanksgiving – 2025 →

Friday Photo Flashback

This blog isn't about the movie, but does tie in.... Of my four children, three of them have had to do the … Continue reading Incredible Turkeys →

Life’s Little Moments

Superstar It was an exciting thing this week to see how well Ella is doing in school. She brought home a "book" that they were working on with her. It is short words with the short "a" sound.

Busy, But Thankful

I hope this blog finds you enjoying the remainder of the holiday weekend. My weekend, which was supposed to be very relaxing, wound up being full of the unexpected. Wednesday afternoon, I got a call from my wife. Her dad had passed out at the doctor's office. His blood pressure was up and down. They … Continue reading Busy, But Thankful →

Turkey Week

The turkey is in the fridge thawing out and should be ready for the oven by Thursday morning. We always cook it in a bag, and it usually comes out ok. I'm looking forward to a simple Thanksgiving holiday. I've always loved this picture of Redd Foxx and Demond Wilson from Sanford and Son I … Continue reading Turkey Week →

This blog is actually a recycling of an earlier Thanksgiving blog from three years ago, updated for 2022. I have gained many new followers over … Continue reading Giving Thanks (Updated) →

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! →
