    Back To School Memories

    I noticed something while I was out grocery shopping this week. Yes, stand by, it’s another episode of “Shopping Adventures With Pete.” No it wasn’t that sudden disappointment when you realize there was plenty of parking closer to the door but you parked way back because you couldn’t tell. No it wasn’t the guy who…

    Woof Wednesday – Oscar Deals With The Heat

    Hi guys! It’s me, Oscar the Beagle and I am so happy the hot time is gone. That was just too much! I think I told you before how our morning usually goes: Grampy wakes up (Finally!), comes downstairs and has his coffee. Then he gets dressed after his shower and we go for a…

    Anybody know a good lawyer? Hi guys. It’s me…Oscar the Beagle. Really, I was just curious…. and maybe hungry. It’s been a busy week here at the house. I think I told you that Uncle Doug and Aunty Marla came up from Virginia with their dog Roscoe. Sarah came up too with some nice lady.…

    Yes the house is quiet again. And this time, I’m okay with that. I’ll be honest, as you probably noticed from some past writing, I haven’t always been a fan of my children growing up. I know they have to and I’m glad they are all finding their place in the world and I know…

    Woof Wednesday

    Hi guys! It’s Oscar the Beagle and I have so much to tell you this week! First we had that National Fireworks thing. Grammy and Grampy had some people over to have food on Grampy’s new outdoor cooking thing. Then they sat outside for awhile. Aunty Kat turned the air-conditioning thing on and closed the…

  • Why Can’t We Agree To Disagree Anymore?

    I think I know why. I had a terrific day on the 4th of July just sitting on the beach and enjoying the breeze. That was followed by some burgers on the grill and watching fireworks. While I was at the beach, my friend sat down next to me and we talked about all different…

    Woof Wednesday

    Hi guys! It’s me….Oscar the Beagle. Hey what’s a CVS receipt? Grampy came back from CVS the other day. He only bought a couple of things but he said he was going to wrap me up in the receipt. He thought it would fit. Is that like a snuggly blanket? Uncle Matt got mad again…

    Have Fun But Please Be Courteous

    I feel it’s time for my annual reminder about fireworks. About three or four years ago I found this picture. I never really thought about it but I can certainly understand it now. Anyone who has been in a war zone that was under attack and wondered if the next boom would be the last…

    In my own defense….I thought it was food. It didn’t smell like food and it certainly didn’t taste like food, but it looked good. Hi guys! It’s Oscar the Beagle and last week I chewed on Grampy’s new Cookbook. He left it on the counter where I could reach it (If I stuck my neck…

    I was talking to a friend of mine yesterday, basically getting caught up on what’s been going on in her life. Ironically I was at the wake for my friend Karen whom I told you about recently. I think Karen would have liked the fact that we got caught up on each other’s lives. This…
