    Raising Grampy- Chapter 31

    Hi everyone! It’s me, Liam, having all kinds of fun with my Grampy. This week I took him to the zoo! I told him, “Now don’t be afraid. The animals won’t bite you and mommy keeps us safe.” We haven’t gone anywhere in, like, forever since this whole virus thing. Last week, mommy and Grampy…

    Trying Something For The First Time

    I have a confession to make. No, it’s not that I’m giving up on the Red Sox though that is tempting. I lived through the early years, I’ll survive this. No I’m not suddenly anti-mask. I have several and try to coordinate with my outfits. Question though: Should I match my shirt or shoes? I…

    Welcome Home

    FYI….I’m posting this a little later than usual today. I usually try to have this out by 10 a.m. but my daughter-in-law Marla (along with 5,000 of her closest friends) came home today after several months at sea. As I mentioned, due to Coronavirus, they never made any port calls. As a result, the U.S.S.…

    How’s Baxter? A Canine Update

    My wife, Priscilla, was out for a walk the other day when a neighbor stopped her to chat. We live in a neighborhood that’s like that, think “Happy Days” or “Leave It To Beaver.” Everybody looks out for everybody and we talk in the street when we’re out. It’s always funny in the spring: we…

    Give It A Shot!

    I woke up yesterday morning —— and everything hurt. I get a day like this every now and then and I’m sure there are others that do. I don’t know why as I really haven’t done anything unusual lately. True, I am busy watching my grandson during the week and he’s moving now! Either crawling…
