    Raising Grampy – Chapter 4

    Hi everyone. It’s Liam, just hanging out with Grampy. What a week we’ve had! It started out on Monday. I think it was Monday. I really don’t know my days yet. I just know that when a day comes it’s “today” and I just get busy with that. All I know is that we rescued…

    I’m just saying, can’t a guy get some privacy? Hi guys! It’s me, Oscar the Beagle. Grammy has been standing outside at night watching me pee! Yeah! It’s embarrassing! No there’s nothing wrong with my bladder, she says there have been coyote sightings in the neighborhood and she wants to make sure that doesn’t happen…

    Raising Grampy- Chapter 3

    Hi everyone! Liam here, hanging out with Grampy. I know I live down south here in Virginia Beach and everyone tells Grampy he’s smart to get out of New England for the winter, but we still have some chilly days here. Last week it was down in the 30s and when the temperature is down…

    Just Go! You Might Like It!

    Sometimes you just gotta get dressed and go! Last Saturday my son, Doug, told me that he had two tickets to the “Bobby Bones and the Raging Idiots Show” down here in Virginia Beach. He thought I would enjoy it. That night. 7:00pm. My first thought was, “Yeah, he’s funny. I’d like that.” My next…

    I've Said It Before…..

    I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again: I don’t know how they do it. My daughter-in-law, Marla, had to report to the U.S.S Eisenhower Thursday night. The crew had to report Thursday by midnight and then they shipped out Friday morning. I saw Marla Thursday evening before she had to report. She came…
