Baby Loves His Tunes
We’re Talkin’ Tunes on this Tuesday. The other day I mentioned in a blog that my grandson Liam has his own playlist and I thought I would explain because I used it again today and it’s so cool. For those of you who don’t “do” Spotify or any of the other streaming services, let me…

Holiday Road Trip
A couple of years ago I wrote a column for the Standard Times about how, sometimes, you have to go with Plan B in life. Well here we go again! As I write this, I’m in Virginia Beach house-sitting and dog-sitting for my son Doug and my daughter-in-law Marla. They went on a cruise. Yeah…

Once again …. no one asked ME about this! Hi guys! It’s me, Oscar the Beagle. Grammy and Grampy went down to Virginia to see that baby thing again. Something about house-sitting for my Uncle Doug, Aunty Marla and their dog Roscoe. Grampy is a good dog-sitter. I like to think that I’ve taught him…

What DO I Want For Christmas?
I thought about this the other day, “What do I want?” Do you have a problem with this? It seems to be more difficult the older I get. My son says it gets tougher because the things he really wants are expensive and he feels bad asking others to buy it. I know some families…

What. A. Day! I told you Thanksgiving was the greatest! Hi guys! It’s me, Oscar the Beagle. I hope you had a nice Thanksgiving. Mine was stupendous! (That’s a word, right?) It started kind of early. For some reason Grampy woke up first. He fed us breakfast and then he put on his long underwear…

Talkin’ Tunes on Tuesday I posted a link to a song today. The song is “Aspenglow” by John Denver. I think of this song everytime I look at a new snowfall. As I posted today, my brother Jeff was a big John Denver fan. We played “Take Me Home County Roads” at a get-together we…

The A,B,C’s of Thankfulness
Like many people, but probably not enough, I go to church most Sundays. I say “most” because I am guilty of sleeping in occasionally, especially if the weather is bad, the roads are icy or I got a horrible night’s sleep. This past Sunday I was determined to be there even though the weather made…

I Love Hearing Stories
I had a great day earlier this week. It wasn’t without it’s ups-and-downs: I hit every red light on my way there; had trouble connecting with the party I was supposed to see; but once I got all that out of the way it was really a fun day. Earlier this week I was filming…

Guys, guys, guys….Yesterday was the Best! Day! Ever! Oh hi! It’s me, Oscar the Beagle. I’m feeling much better. Thanks for asking. Yeah Grammy and Grampy gave me my medicine plus I get that breathing treatment. That’s kind of weird! Yesterday was fantastic! We had breakfast TWICE! Grammy was away working. I guess she had…
