Today

I cannot even imagine where I would be today were it not for that handful of friends who have given me a heart full of joy. Let’s face it, friends make life a lot more fun. Charles R. Swindoll  

Spring

Contentment

February 16, 2018

There are some people…you probably know a few, who can go with the flow more easily than most. They seem to have a God given ability to treat the ever changing currents of life as if they were coasting slowly along the lazy river at a water park. Oh…to be one of those fortunate souls.

Defensive assistance

February 11, 2018

Elfrid Payton played well in a loss vs. The Denver Nuggets last night. The Denver players did have a significant advantage although playing away from home.

My friend owns a snow removal business and has had a hard time retaining employees this season due to our lack of snow. He’s embarked on a new hiring initiative and says it’s working great. The training phase is a bit more extensive but payroll has been cut as dog bones are pretty inexpensive.

Grandiose miscalculation

February 7, 2018

Now this sounds like a grand idea. Let’s show the world our might by having a massive military parade in our nation’s capital.

Reality check

JoJo

Penny apologized profusely. She had promised to drop off JoJo at 8:00 p.m. as the family was leaving early the next morning for Puerto Vallarta. When the doorbell rang at 9:45, Penny was holding the beloved JoJo who, as you can see, was ready for bed. We’ve now decided to name our dog sitting adventure […]

A noble calling

January 31, 2018

‘Six months today…and six to go. I get it. He feels, like his dad, a calling to serve our country. Especially after 9/11. The Skype calls help but I miss the one on one hoop battles in the driveway and skiing the blacks in Vail. I try to keep busy and then it hits me…how dangerous […]
