Woof Wednesday
Hi guys! It’s me, Oscar the Beagle. I had to go to the stupid Vet again! I know, I should be nice and Grammy says he’s a nice man but I just don’t like the poking and the SHOTS! I guess it was time for my annual checkup. I would have been fine if we…

Raising Grampy- Chapter 3
Hi everyone! Liam here, hanging out with Grampy. I know I live down south here in Virginia Beach and everyone tells Grampy he’s smart to get out of New England for the winter, but we still have some chilly days here. Last week it was down in the 30s and when the temperature is down…

Raising Grampy – Chapter 1
Hi everybody! My name is Liam and I’m — uh — I don’t know how old I am because I can’t count yet. I can’t even get my fingers to do what I want. I keep poking myself. Gotta work on that. I live in Virginia Beach with my mommy and daddy. They’re names are…

Woof Wednesday
Hi guys! It’s me, Oscar the Beagle and I guess I’m supposed to say “Happy New Year!” It’s a new year, though nobody told me what was wrong with the old one. I’m still in my same house, with the same bowl and the same food. I don’t see what’s new but all the humans…

If You’ve Never Done It Before – Do It!
We had a nice day yesterday as we finally made it to the Huttleston Marketplace outside Fairhaven High School. I had been meaning to make it their several times this summer but something always seemed to come up. While we were there I noticed that the Visitor’s Center and Museum was open. I’ve lived in…

Then Suddenly….
Just like that —- we say, “What winter?” I was out for a walk yesterday when I noticed two things: It was nice and warm. Finally everything is green. I try to walk every day and it always seems to be breezy down on Sconticut Neck in Fairhaven. My wife and I have noticed that…

Making Memories
I had the pleasure of hosting Opening Day for Fairhaven Acushnet Youth Baseball once again yesterday. I’ve done this for many years both before and after my stroke. There was that one year that I couldn’t do it but they have been inviting me back ever since. I like doing it for many reasons but…

A Flood of Memories and Another Step Forward

Bette McClure, had asked me earlier if I would do a reading. She gave me a reading from John 1:1-5: “In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with…
