Saturday, November 15th, Maureen and I attended a nephew’s surprise Birthday party. It was with great trepidation that I decided to do it. The season has changed, it is cold weather and cold season even though it is not officially winter yet. ...

Two days after we went to the polls to vote. My, My, MY! How quiet those loud voices have become. Where’s all that banter now? Left you with nothing to say has it? I remember when one of my neighbors (who has bigot tendencies) was being d...

Election day, Nov 4th 2008, 11:24 AM WOW! That says it for me. I’ve been voting at our little precinct since we moved into this house when it was new. I will go on the record, stating that we have never seen an election with voter turn-out like t...

I'd only be guessing should I try to say exactly how many pictures we have taken of Jenny, our one and only dog. I've got pictures of her from the time she was six weeks old right up to this very day. I'm amazed at how many different "LOOKS" Jen...

Recently I posted THIS ENTRY. I can't imagine how I could have been so wr-wr-wr-wrong about anything related to our Jenny's attitude about her feet. I mentioned how I had faked her out by pretending that the new Pedipaws claw grinder was an elect...

I knew it was coming and I was dreading it. Everyone talks and acts like they know who is going to win this presidential race. I've seen it too many times before; the one who everyone says is losing starts pulling out the big guns. He and his co...

Tonight, or perhaps I should say very early tomorrow morning (two AM is early) everyone will set their clocks back an hour. If you've ever said "I wish I could roll back time" tonight or tomorrow morning, your wish will come true. Oh! You'll not...

Yes! we are hearing the pitter-patter of little feet around the house but no one is pregnant. Forget about all the silliness. Most of the rooms in our house are carpeted; three of the rooms have imitation hardwood (Pergo or SwiftLock laminate)...

My world renown patience is beginning to wear very thin. I got down to only one functioning nerve left in my body and several people have stepped all over that one. I made it known some months ago that Obama was my personal choice for the office ...

Not only is she The Newest Employee of the Month at her part-time job; as this pictures proves, she is also Mrs. Doctor Doolittle when at home. Jenny the dog and Lucy the cat simply can't stay away from her when she is at home. If you will not...

Today, I am so far removed from that fired-up Babe in Christ that emerged when I accepted Jesus Christ as my Lord and Savior and was "Born-again." That was 24 years ago and along the way, I did my share of preaching on-line. My ability to accompl...

In 1987, we had a new home built and moved in. We gave the location some serious thought before we settled on this subdivision. It was a small, friendly town, at least that was the city hype we heard. It didn’t take long for us to discover that...

Maureen (MLB) whipped up a new recipe of Oatmeal Cookies, sans raisins last Friday for our daughter's church outreach on Saturday. I sampled a few while they were soft and chewy. Those cookies could become the end of me. They are so good, I am ...

Do you have a minute? Good! Sit down here and lean in a little so you can hear me. I need someone to just listen while I talk about something kind of personal. Back in December of 1996 I lost a job I had worked at for over 23 years. It was one ...

There's an email making the rounds again. It was sent to me saying that David Letterman wrote it. Snopes says it was written by a reporter named Craig R. Smith. What he wrote can be found at THIS PLACE. The words are great and perfect for these...

Are you like me? Does it seem like this presidential campaign has been going on for two years or more? And NOW, the local politicians are running their own ads on TV. Also, living where we do, a lot of the ads we must endure during commercial b...

I heard someone state recently: “If food means anything to you other than nourishment; you are already in trouble.” Food has been many things to me throughout my life but I can honestly say I’ve never thought of it as nourishment. Food is ...

Last evening "The Mentalist" aired its pilot episode and I captured it on my DVR. What would we TV Lovers do without our DVRs and TIVOs? I like my DVR so much, I'm looking forward to someone coming out with a six drive model. Two drives isn't en...

I have possibly said to myself or no one in particular while watching a news broadcast about a hurricane down on the gulf coast somewhere...."I can't imagine what that must be like for those poor folk." I cannot say that any longer. Last Sunday...
