Appreciate

January 1, 2017

Enjoy this while you’re young, son. At some point, that swing will be infinitely shorter and less fluid. That hybrid that you now fly like a supersonic jet eventually will end up like a paper airplane. Take plenty of videos now so later you can revel in those free and easy…take it to the bank…flag […]

Fishing frenzy

December 26, 2016

My friend Cary called to invite this youngster to go fishing. He said the river up north was loaded with salmon who attack multi-colored streamers like Von Miller hitting quarterbacks. Cary said to bring lots of warm clothing and that he would bring plenty of bear spray just in case. Thanks Cary.

Pay it forward

A little thought and a little kindness are often worth more than a great deal of money. John Ruskin A very young cowboy is third in the drive thru line at Starbucks. I place my usual order of a ‘large hot chocolate…skim milk…no whipped cream.’ The nice young lady opens the window as I reach […]

Finally

December 23, 2016

The Colorado Rockies are shopping for live arms for their bullpen. The Denver Broncos are in the market for offensive lineman who can help create a running game. Without a diversified offense, watching the Broncos is painful. We won’t even discuss the Nuggets or The Avalanche. The word on the street is that The Rockies […]

Dance fever

Square dancing has been around forever. New to the scene, and guaranteed to bring a smile to your face, is snow dancing.

No more cookies

Vince Wilfork is in his 13th. season in The NFL. He’s thirty-five years old and brought fear into hearts of opposing running backs for eleven seasons while playing for The New England Patriots. Tipping the scales at 325 pounds, he continues to pummel opposing linemen, quarterbacks, and fullbacks as he plays for The Houston Texans. […]

Christmas fear

December 14, 2016

For some, meeting Santa for the first time can be a bit overwhelming.

Holy schmole!

December 3, 2016

It was 9:45 p.m. and we had two cars in front of us in the drive thru at Steak and Shake. We had just ordered a small shake and a small order of fries. The first car’s order was handed to them at the five minute mark. We’re thinking ok…there’s one fella in the car […]

No worries

December 3, 2016

There’s always been the fear that people would take this technology craze too far. Hmmm…me thinks the concern is justified.

Party time

December 2, 2016

You never know what kind of characters will arrive with this dog sitting adventure. That’s why we do a meet and greet to see if there’s a fit. Oh Yeah!

Fetch

December 2, 2016

Janey thought Riley might fetch the paper in the snow if he had really cool boots. DSW has ordered the rear two as it seems that he likes them a lot.

It has now been confirmed that polar bears’ second favorite activity is dancing. You can probably guess what is number one. That’s right…breakfast of seal. Photo by Dave Irey

Respect

‘I promise you, Mr. Owl…I will leave this and every mouse in the yard to you. Your claws are most impressive, so, if you don’t mind, I’ll just let you and the mice alone.’

Duck Dynasty

November 26, 2016

The family that hunts ducks together…stays together. Eileen proudly mentioned that she nailed 13 mallards and her closest rival got 7.

Luke

November 25, 2016

I generally find pictures of dogs to be much more compelling than those of cats. In over twelve hundred morsels completed in the last fourteen months, there’s been two hundred or so about dogs and only one relating to cats. When Luke jumped up on the counter yesterday, I knew his photo would be blog […]

Did ya know?

The King of the jungle. Some interesting facts about lions. A lion’s roar can be heard from five miles away. Lions can sleep twenty hours per day. They can run 50 miles an hour for a short distance and leap thirty-six feet. Female lions do the hunting but males eat first. Baboons have been known […]

It’s a wonderful day

November 16, 2016

A very young cowboy loves bluebirds. They remind me of the tune from the movie The Song of the South. You must remember that catchy lyrics… Zip A Dee do Dah…Zip a Dee Ay, My oh My What a Wonderful Day. I took the liberty of changing the first word to Blip a few years […]

Caution

November 14, 2016

‘She’s just getting some milk and treats, dude. You’d be wise to stop right there. Any closer and this could turn nasty!’

Please

I promise not to chase rabbits or squirrels if you’ll just take me on a walk.
