Silly Kid Stuff

To my Facebook friends, most of this blog is a recap of things I have already posted there. However, some of this is stuff I want documented in my blog for future viewing. Andrew Ok, I'm not going to lie, this is something that makes me laugh out loud every time I see it. Sam … Continue reading Silly Kid Stuff →

Library Memories

Yesterday's blog about taking Ella to the library led to various conversations that brought back many of my own library memories. My first trip to the library was of course during grade school. We always had a day during the week where we could go and check out a book. There were some occasions where … Continue reading Library Memories →

Nice Lids!

I rarely post two blogs in one day, however, my last post made me think about something - hats. The reason for this is the first line of the song "On the Sunny Side of the Street" (Grab your coat and get your hat ....) I guess I have always appreciated a good hat. I … Continue reading Nice Lids! →

Maybe I’m Over Thinking This …

I don't want to get too deep into this. Personally, I think it is getting out of hand. I don't have it all figured out. However, I can speak to what I know is true for me. I watched Elmer Fudd ... I watched Yosimite Sam... ...and I have never had the desire to own … Continue reading Maybe I’m Over Thinking This … →

Another Ella Milestone

Here's One For the Baby Book Somewhere in my house, I have my Baby Book. My mom and dad didn't keep up with it completely, but there are some things that are in there. One of the things is a plastic bag with a lock of my hair from my first haircut. Today, we put … Continue reading Another Ella Milestone →

I Hope They Don’t Have to Blast!

When you work mid-nights like I do, you look forward to winter. I sleep better in the winter. The only thing that can really wake you up outside is the garbage truck or a snow plow. In the summer, however, you have kids outside playing, people weed whacking and mowing their lawn, and extremely loud … Continue reading I Hope They Don’t Have to Blast! →

National Poetry Day

I missed National Poetry Day. I guess it was October 1st this year. When I was a kid, I used to write poems all the time. Topics ranged from my grandma's food, my grandpa buying lottery tickets, why I loved baseball, etc... I was far from a talented poet. I would never have been able … Continue reading National Poetry Day →

It’s time to be counted

Yesterday, we received our invitation to respond to the 2020 Census in the mail. The US Constitution requires a count of the population of the United States and every ten years since 1790 it has done that with the Census. This year, you can do it all online, which I did earlier today. It doesn't … Continue reading It’s time to be counted →

Tune Tuesday – Vieni Sul Mar

I wish I could speak Italian. I have always wanted to learn. I guess I always end up talking myself into believing that I can't learn it. The older I get, the less I can remember. I also tell myself that I probably don't have the time to learn it. Then, there is the cost … Continue reading Tune Tuesday – Vieni Sul Mar →

Favorite Films – The 2010’s

As I looked back over the last year's worth of blogs, I was reminded that I had yet to finish a series I started on my favorite films. The premise of the series is to pick a favorite movie (that you have seen) for every year of your life. This series started with 1970 (the … Continue reading Favorite Films – The 2010’s →
