Hi everyone! It’s me, Liam, discovering all kinds of things with my Grampy. I had some more “firsts” this week. I had my first Fluffernutter sandwich this week. Mommy let me try her sandwich when she and Grampy we’re having one and I liked it so much she made me my own. My daddy grew…

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…

Raising Grampy- Chapter 32
Hi everyone! It’s me, Liam, doing lots and lots of things with Grampy. We had “Matching Shirt Day” again. It was so much fun. Mommy says my birthday is coming up soon! I don’t really know what a birthday is. I don’t think I’ve had one yet. I know Grampy had a birthday so I…

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…

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.…
