Woof Wednesday
Hi guys! It’s me, Oscar the Beagle. I’m getting ready to take a nap. Again. It’s what I do when I’m not eating. I heard there’s going to be another storm so Baxter and I just usually sleep. The day usually starts with Grampy getting up real slow. Even slower than his usual slow. That’s…

What If God Calls?
The minister asked us this morning, “What will you do when God calls?” That got me thinking. How will he call? And, will we answer the call? If you think back to Jesus, he came on the scene the way people did things back then: going from town to town to spread the news. It’s…

And Suddenly…It is Autumn!
I swear this happens every year: The calendar says “Autumn” but we’re still wearing short sleeves, no jacket and maybe even sneaking in a beach day. And then…. The leaves start to change, then fall, and I’m walking by the beach in a hoodie pulled up over my ears. And there’s usually a Nor’easter involved.…

Welcome To The World Little Man!
I was watching my baby with her baby the other night. What a powerful moment. For those of you who don’t know, our daughter Sarah and son-in-law Steven had their first baby last Sunday. Sarah was our first-born. That was 1989. I had hair. It was really different last week. We were at the Portsmouth…

Hi guys! It’s me, Oscar the Beagle. Never a dull moment here at the house. I’m feeling much better but this medicine they put me on makes me wicked hungry. Now I know, I’m hungry all the time but now I’m hungry even more than all the time. If that’s even a thing. I’ve been…

Cherish Old Friends
Priscilla and I went out to dinner the other night with our good friends Steve and Sharon. We hadn’t done that in years. We got married 38 years ago. Steve and Sharon were married 28 years ago, the dates were about a week apart. Sharon was in our wedding party and Priscilla was in theirs.…

Hi guys! It’s me, Oscar the Beagle. Guess what, guess what, guess what? No it’s not my health. I’m feeling better. No it’s not my mom Sarah. I guess she’s going to have a puppy soon. The other day it was REFILL THE KIBBLE DAY! It’s just the best day ever! Grammy and Grampy feed…
