The construction continues on our street. That in itself is bad enough. They have pretty much ripped out all of the concrete from the street itself. They had removed all the sidewalks from the other side of the street early in the project. This week, they began ripping up not only our sidewalk, but our … Continue reading “Get Off My Lawn!”

Post Weekend Update & Trivia
Before I get into the events of the weekend, I thought I'd throw a funny Jeopardy question your way. The answer, which will be easy for those who follow this blog, will appear at the end of this post. Saturday morning was nice. The entire family spent the morning together. At one point, Sam, the … Continue reading Post Weekend Update & Trivia
A Big “Thank You” to “Mr. Puppet”
I believe the saying goes "A stranger is a friend you haven't met yet!" Thanks to this blog and social media, I have been able to connect with some friends who I have never met face to face. One of those friends is Mr. Puppet. A few days ago, I posted a blog about random … Continue reading A Big “Thank You” to “Mr. Puppet”
Relating to Cartoon Dogs
"Oh boy. Here goes Keith talking about that Bluey show again. Isn't that a kid show? Why does he watch that?" I relate to it! There, I said it. There are so many things about this show that I can relate to! For example, in our house, Sam and I cannot use the bathroom without … Continue reading Relating to Cartoon Dogs
Brakes – Broke!
It wasn't too long ago that my father-in-law, my brother-in-law, and I worked on the brakes on my car. Recently, I began to hear grinding on one of the back brakes. It was just the one and there was no indication that the pads were going before it began grinding. If you are familiar with … Continue reading Brakes – Broke!

Above it was another shelf with the globe my grandmother had got me for Christmas, some ceramic pieces my mom made me and a few other things. … Continue reading Friday Photo Flashback
Front Porch Fixin’
I am not a handyman. I'm sure that I have mentioned this fact many times. So when my wife came to me and said she was worried about the front porch, we both knew who to call. Our front porch has felt "soft" for some time. Sam (and I) were worried that our mail carrier … Continue reading Front Porch Fixin’
A Plumber I Am Not
Friday night I was at work and I got a text from my wife. It went something like this: Sam: So there's a leak in the shower. Me: It's probably the shower head. That's an easy fix. I'll look at it when I get home. Sam: It's not the shower head, it is leaking by … Continue reading A Plumber I Am Not
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
Word of the Day – Kibitz
Normally, I don't react to word prompts, however, today's word is one that immediately made me laugh. I began following EM Kingston's blog recently and her word of the day is "kibitz." The word is Yiddish and which can mean "make unwanted comments (as a spectator at a card game)," or something more general like … Continue reading Word of the Day – Kibitz
