Clean Up In Aisle 2!
I was amazed today when I went shopping at a local store and it looked like a tornado had blown through before I got there! Well maybe not that bad but it was a mess. I won’t name the store but it’s one of the more popular. You know….the one with the big red balls…

Well At Least It Was A Nice Night
It was a fun game to watch… except for the score! My wife Priscilla and I just returned from a trip to Baltimore where we watched the Red Sox lose 15 to 10 Friday night. There were plenty of fireworks in the game between the Baltimore home runs and Xander Bogaerts and Alex Cora being…

A Terrific Day Honoring A Wonderful Man

Why Is Everyone So Mad?
Why is everyone so mad? If you’re not…great! Have a super day! However, I’m hearing more and more stories from friends and family about the frustrations they run into every day. I must have heard it several times over the past week: “I just can’t take people anymore!” “I love my job but I can’t…

Hi everyone! It’s me, Liam! I feel like I haven’t talked to you since I was kid! Guess what? I came to visit my old pal Grampy! It was my summer vacation. Mommy was already here for Aunty Kat’s Bridal Shower. I don’t know what kind of shower that is. Maybe they use a special…

Trying A New Approach This Year
Tuesday was my birthday! I was thinking about how I’ve had 61 years of blessings. A little adjustment in thinking. We seem to have a tendency to look back at all the things we’ve been through and have had to deal with throughout our years but if you stop and think: you’ve probably had some…

Have you ever been reading a good book and got near the end but you just…couldn’t…keep…your eyes open…anymore? You struggle through and FINISH it! You discover the ending! Find out who the killer was! Then realize you have nothing to read tomorrow? Now what do I do? It’s Sunday and the library is closed! ——-My…
