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…

Just Go! You Might Like It!
·
Sometimes you just gotta get dressed and go! Last Saturday my son, Doug, told me that he had two tickets to the “Bobby Bones and the Raging Idiots Show” down here in Virginia Beach. He thought I would enjoy it. That night. 7:00pm. My first thought was, “Yeah, he’s funny. I’d like that.” My next…

Raising Grampy – Chapter Two
Hi everybody! Liam here, just hanging out with Grampy. Well we’ve made it through our first week and I’ve realized….I got my work cut out for me with this guy. Don’t get me wrong, he’s doing a good job. I have him trained already: I act a little fussy and he gets right on it.…

A New Year Brings A New Role
·
I come to you from Virginia Beach today, not from another vacation trip to see my grandson though he is a big part of this story. After my daughter and son-in-law found out they were expecting, they began thinking of Sarah’s return to work. Her company offered four months maternity leave so they realized they…

Holiday Road Trip
A couple of years ago I wrote a column for the Standard Times about how, sometimes, you have to go with Plan B in life. Well here we go again! As I write this, I’m in Virginia Beach house-sitting and dog-sitting for my son Doug and my daughter-in-law Marla. They went on a cruise. Yeah…

Now We Wait
I think I told you before that my daughter Sarah and son-in-law Steven are expecting their first child this month. This will be our first grandchild so, yes, Priscilla and I are quite excited. I guess Sarah has had a good pregnancy, as smoothly as these things can be. The poor thing had morning sickness…

Woof Wednesday
Hi guys! It’s Oscar the Beagle and I have so much to tell you this week! First we had that National Fireworks thing. Grammy and Grampy had some people over to have food on Grampy’s new outdoor cooking thing. Then they sat outside for awhile. Aunty Kat turned the air-conditioning thing on and closed the…

Woof Wednesday
Hi guys! It’s me, Oscar the Beagle, just living the life here during “Boys Week!” We’re drinkin’ beer in our boxers and watching wrestling! I don’t know what any of that means but Grampy told me to open with that for a laugh. You laughed right? Hello? Grammy and Auntie Kathryn went down to Sarah’s…

Sunday Column
Sorry I’m a little late with the Sunday column. I’d like to blame it on the time change but I never left the east coast. Priscilla and I went down to Virginia Beach for five days or three if you take out the 10+ hours on the highway. (Why do we always hit traffic in…

Cheering Down South
Greetings from Virginia Beach! Yes I’m still here as my daughter and son-in-law are on a much needed vacation in Disney World. They have scouted it out and planned their day so they will be ready for kick off tonight. I’ve tried but I just don’t see the Super Bowl hype down here. True the…
