Christmas Cards and Memories
I finished making out the Christmas cards earlier this week. As I’ve said before, I don’t know how this became my job but it has. My wife, Priscilla, buys a few boxes of cards every December 26th and then puts them away with the decorations every year. As soon as we take the decorations out…

Liam Enjoys the Hustle and Bustle
Chapter 47 Hi everyone! It’s me, Liam, just having a holly jolly. Grampy told me to say that. I don’t know what it means. Did I tell you last week that mommy was planning a holiday photo day? Well let’s just say it didn’t go smoothly. Why do my doggies have sweaters? She tried and…
