    You Gotta Love ”New Socks Day!”

    The other day was one of my favorite days of the year. No it wasn’t my birthday, that’s in the summer. It was also obviously not Opening Day for baseball. The other day was new socks day! There’s nothing better than putting on some new socks! Just sliding your foot into those brand new, never…

    God’s Country – Where Is Yours?

    I have walked by this view hundreds, if not thousands, of times since we moved here in the 80’s. Once again, the beauty of this spot made me stop, appreciate it and then take a picture to share. This is at the bottom of Bonney Street in Fairhaven where you turn onto Cove. That’s always…

    Hello friend, your little ray of sunshine here! Just a joke. It’s me. Pete. I try to be positive. I try to make people happy or have a laugh.

    Things That Make Us Happy

    I saw a meme this week that I liked. No it wasn’t a post that makes you rethink your life or help you find a new direction. However, it was a meme I could totally agree with. Yup! I pretty much agree with everyone of them. Writing with a nice pen. I thought I was…

    It’s OK To Say ”No”

    One of the jobs I have everyday with the “Pete Braley Show” is to come up with “stuff.” It’s a part of my job I have always enjoyed even when I was doing the radio show. Someone once asked my wife, Priscilla, “How does he come up with all this material?” Answer: I was blessed…

    “9-1-1 What’s Your Emergency?”

    I watched an interesting episode of “Chicago Fire” last night. I’m not sure if it was last week’s episode or the week before. I think I had three weeks of shows on my DVR. It wasn’t the part where Joe Cruz struggled on a rescue because he’s suffering PTSD or where Casey told the son…
