Raising Grampy – Chapter 36
Hi everyone! It’s me, Liam, getting back to normal around here. I had a great birthday and even though I’m 1-year old now, mommy and daddy think I still need Grampy around. Oh well, maybe it gives the old guy some meaning. My aunts and uncles and my Abuelita went home a few days after…

Life After Covid
The changes have started. I touched on this before when the quarantine began. I wondered if some companies would find that a smaller support staff proved to be just fine so they wouldn’t hire everyone back. I’m noticing that some companies are staying with their work-at-home mode for at least part of the week. Last…

The Possibilities
I was snuggling with my grandson the other day—- I consider that a fringe benefit of being his daycare. It was morning nap time and instead of checking my phone for the latest news or a new puppy video, I noticed his hand. This little hand that was resting on my chest. It was then…

Dance in the Rain
Yesterday we had some heavy rain here in Virginia Beach, my home away from home. Normally that might upset some people especially if you had outdoor plans or errands to run. We had planned on having a beach day until the forecast earlier in the week said we might get what was left of Hurricane…
