“Try a Little Kindness”
The other day I kept seeing the same woman and her husband aisle after aisle in Wal-Mart. Did you ever notice how that happens? Of course it makes sense because you’re both just going about your business and you keep following each other. What made this interesting was that one of us seemed to…

Woof Wednesday and Oscar Takes Over Again
Guys! Guys! It’s me again, Oscar the beagle. Grandpa left his tablet on the couch again. You won’t believe what’s going on here! The other day there was this “thing” on the floor and I got all excited. Hey, whatever’s on the floor is mine, right? Well, mine and Baxter’s but he’s too slow. All…

“The Feel of Fall”
Now this is more like it. I’m not going to lie, I liked having warm weather in late September and here in October but now that the weather has turned more fall-like it feels good. Like many others, my wife and I try not to turn the heat on until November. We have a wood…

“Vacation, What’s Stopping You?”
The other day my wife pointed out something I hadn’t realized: we just had our first real vacation since before my stroke. That was two and a half years ago. We’ve had a holiday trip to see the kids with plenty of rest time built in for me and we had been to Vermont…

The Power of Music
I was reminded this week of the power of music. It’s something that I learned long ago but I got a reminder recently on a nice warm summer night. I’ve always known how a song can come on the radio and instantly take you back to another time. It’s not necessarily the first time you…

“Falling Into Place”
I read another quote this week that made me think. I know, I read too much. I should spend more time watching reality tv or playing video games. The quote said, “Sometimes when things are falling apart they might actually be falling into place.” I thought that was pretty good. Speaking just for myself, I’ve…
