One More Step Towards Normal
This week, after more than a year, I went to the library! Oh how I missed it. I’ve always loved going to the library. Of course, the fact that we have one of the most beautiful libraries in the country is probably one reason. I wrote a blog when I first went down to Virginia…

Why Do I Have So Many Hats?
This week’s pondering: “Why do I have so many hats?” I found myself wondering about that on my own. Usually it’s something I only think about when Priscilla is straightening up the house and says, “Hey buddy! You gotta do something about all your hats!” She didn’t say anything this week, I did it on…

Better to Fly or Drive?
We just got back from another trip to Virginia Beach……10-plus hours in the car. Again! You’d think by now I would be used to this but I’m not. I’ve done this trip both ways: drive and fly. I have to say my choice would be to fly. We can’t always do it because of the…

What Age Would You Choose?
The syndicated radio host Bobby Bones recently asked his listeners, “If you could be any age for the rest of your life, what age would you choose?” Hmmm. Teenager? No, especially those awkward middle school years. My first reaction was that I would want to be in my 20’s again. Wouldn’t you? The aches and…

Becoming THAT Guy

You may have noticed on my Facebook or Priscilla’s post ….. we got a puppy! May I introduce to you…. Charlie! As usual with the Braley’s, there’s a story! We got Charlie last Saturday and yes that was the day Priscilla and I were driving 10 hours back from Virginia Beach. The search started a…

I’m Home!
I’m home. Finally. I’ve been home a few times over the past year and a half but that was only for a week or a few days. This time I brought everything back with me. It’s easy to pack when you’re bringing everything. For those that don’t know, I have been in Virginia Beach since…

Did You Ever Stop To Think….
A few years ago, okay many years ago, I had a very good friend give me a piece of advice that came to mind just the other day. My daughter, Sarah, was getting frustrated with my grandson, Liam. He was just being a toddler but I was reminded of what my friend told me years…

Doesn’t Anyone In This Generation Iron?
As you may or may not know, I’ve been in Virginia Beach for over a year now taking care of my grandson. I spent the first eight months at my son’s house because his wife was deployed and then moved over to my daughter Sarah’s place. I like to wear these button down, long sleeve,…
