Now We Wait
I think I told you before that my daughter Sarah and son-in-law Steven are expecting their first child this month. This will be our first grandchild so, yes, Priscilla and I are quite excited. I guess Sarah has had a good pregnancy, as smoothly as these things can be. The poor thing had morning sickness…

Woof Wednesday
Hi guys! It’s me, Oscar the Beagle and I’m back! Well actually I never went anywhere, except to the Vet, but I’m back from being sick. I guess it was pretty serious. Grammy says I had “Aspiration Pneumonia” or something like that. She uses those big medical words. I don’t think I swallowed any Aspirators…

Watching The Kids Play
I had fun this weekend watching the Little League World Series on television. It brought back memories of when my boys played Little League. I remembered the Little League rules about pitch counts and making sure everybody got in a game. It was confusing to make sure your bench players got 1 at bat and…

Woof Wednesday
Hi guys! It’s me, Oscar the Beagle and I think I need a hobby. I was thinking about this because Grampy was saying he needs a hobby. I need one because I was thinking the other day how I like to sleep, then eat, then sleep and eat. I guess as I get older I’m…

If You’ve Never Done It Before – Do It!
We had a nice day yesterday as we finally made it to the Huttleston Marketplace outside Fairhaven High School. I had been meaning to make it their several times this summer but something always seemed to come up. While we were there I noticed that the Visitor’s Center and Museum was open. I’ve lived in…
