My Christmas Message
I just wanted to take a minute and wish you all a Merry Christmas or Happy Hanukkah. I truly thank you for taking the time to read these blogs, or columns, or “my ramblings” as I often refer to them. This year I have noticed that a number of people I know have been posting…

Raising Grampy – The Holidays!
Hi guys! It’s me, Liam, and I KNOW! It’s been awhile! Mommy asked me the other day why I hadn’t posted in a long time and I said, “Hey! I can only work with what I got!” Grampy was hogging the tablet. Mommy looked it up and I haven’t been able to write since October!…

Christmas Cards and Memories
I finished making out the Christmas cards earlier this week. As I’ve said before, I don’t know how this became my job but it has. My wife, Priscilla, buys a few boxes of cards every December 26th and then puts them away with the decorations every year. As soon as we take the decorations out…

Who Do You Trust?
I read a story the other day that made me stop and think, which I guess is the sign of a good story. It was a study that said the average person has five people in their life they can trust. At first I thought, “Gee that’s too bad if you only have five.” However,…

“Hey Hon? Any Turkey Left?”
It never fails… especially if you’re the one who hosted….Turkey for days! I remember when the kids were younger and still living at home. They would come down for dinner and you’d hear it: “Turkey again?” I’ve found that my tastes have changed over the years. My favorite used to be the turkey sandwich with…

Thanksgiving Changes Through The Years
When I think back to Thanksgiving Day when I was young (yes I have a few memories from that far back), I seem to remember each Thanksgiving being about the same. My mom would cook for days. We would all eat with me and my cousins sitting at the kids table. Then we would play…

Some Random Thoughts
Just some random thoughts on a Sunday morning. Sometimes I get an idea but then I think, “I can’t make a whole column out of that.” That’s when I file them away and, after awhile, the file grows and I decide to post them. Why do people walk in the street when there’s a perfectly…

Did You Change Your Clock?
Did you change your clock last night before you went to bed? Yeah, that’s still a thing. There may soon come a day when we no longer have to remember “spring forward, fall back.” You may have heard that there’s a bill in Congress that would eliminate the time change. Back in March, the Senate…

When Is It Too Soon To Decorate For Christmas?
We just might be in for a battle here at Braley Manor. In case you don’t know, my daughter and grandson are living with us for a few months while her husband is away on deployment. It’s really been wonderful having them. I get to spend a lot of time with my grandson and I…

Who Cleans Better: Men or Women?
My wife made an interesting comment yesterday: “I think women are just genetically better at cleaning the house than men!” What prompted this? Of course there’s a story. We both have a list of jobs we do around the house. Since my stroke mine has gotten a little smaller and, as a result, Priscilla’s has…
