Happy Birthday to Me!
Happy Birthday to Me! Well, I finally made it to Medicare! I recall this being the pinnacle of reaching old age. Of course, now I have a completely different perspective. I may have turned 65 but thanks to our society today, I self-identify as 25. (Mentally I will always self-identify as 5) As I look […]
Military Honors
Military Honors I would like to start this week’s story with a short quiz. Would you be willing to get an ID if it meant you would receive $100? How about $500? Would you get an ID if it meant you would receive $1,000? My answer would have been yes even if it were $10. […]
Happy Birthday Cassidy
Happy Birthday Cassidy I can hardly believe that Cassidy turned twenty years old on Monday. Where did the time go? It didn’t seem that long ago she was riding in her car seat in the back of our SUV. There are so many fond memories, but for this week’s story I want to share one […]
April Fool’s Day 2021
April Fool’s Day 2021 How did April Fool’s Day get started? Some have proposed that the modern custom originated in France when Charles IX decreed the new year would no longer begin on Easter as had been common throughout Christendom, but rather on January 1. Because Easter was a lunar and therefore moveable date, those […]
Let’s Get This Party Started!

After all, I have driven several times […]

Another Reward
Another Reward I will begin this week’s story with an immensely big Thank You to the Ammon branch of the Bank of Commerce. Michelle called me last week and told me about a tradition they started doing at their branch. They will allow the employees to wear jeans on Friday as long as they pay […]
New Service Opportunity
New Service Opportunity This week’s story begins with my trip to Camping World to take Cassidy some lunch. As I was walking up to the door, I recognized a familiar face coming out to greet me. Her name is Hillary, and her daughter was on the 5th grade girls basketball team with Cassidy that Justin […]
Moving On
Moving On I would like to tell you about two special events that happened to me this week. Thursday night Shelley High School requested two limousines so they could reward the honor society with a night out. I found out in previous years it was customary to take them to the State Capitol in Boise […]
Social Media Arguing
Social Media Arguing This week’s story is about someone’s response to a post I put on Social media. Let me just say I thought it was quite humorous. There was a headline quoting a doctor that recommended wearing four masks. I put the headline in the post and added this: I would like to do […]
