Goodbye 2017

   I’ve had some very wonderful and exciting events happen to me this year, so I would like to give you the top five. The Granddaughter Team    Okay, who knows what the Granddaughter Team is? Very good! The Granddaughter Team is some of Cassidy’s best friends. I met most of them when I was […]

Merry Christmas 2017

   Shannon and I always loved Christmas. We enjoyed shopping for presents, putting up decorations, and driving around to see the Christmas lights. We started our own Christmas traditions, which I try to keep each year. The best one by far is to wrap presents, while listening to Twisted Christmas by Bob Rivers. My favorite […]

Happy Veteran’s Day 2017

   “Thank You for Your Service” These 5 words are great, but don’t even come close to expressing the enormous debt we owe the brave men and women in our Armed Forces. There aren’t enough words to thank them in a single story, or a complete novel as far as that goes. But I want […]

Happy Halloween 2017
