Bridal Fair
I want to thank Bridal Fairs of East Idaho for letting me set up my booth at their event last Saturday. I appreciate the chance to raise money selling raffle tickets, and tell people about my Angel Shannon, and the purpose of the Foundation. They directed me to my space, and I had […]
What Today’s Women Want 2017
First, I need to thank Kimberly and Lauren from Elite Idaho Events for allowing me to have a booth for the Foundation at these events. It has always been a rewarding experience, and I have met some wonderful people. About fifteen minutes after the event started, a gentleman came up to my booth. […]
Skyline Homecoming
If you are one of my regular readers, (Thank you for reading!) you’re aware I have a part-time job as a Limo Driver. This week’s story is about one of the perks of this job. I have been driving for about a month now, and only received my official CDL license last Wednesday. […]
The Las Vegas Tragedy
I know this has been talked about and discussed immensely, but I wanted to express my opinion and observation of this horrible tragedy. First, my prayers and deepest sympathies go to the families of the victims in the horrific event. I can’t comprehend how difficult it would be to try and make sense of this […]
The NFL and the National Anthem
I have already written a story about this, but wanted to write another one since this topic has been a main story in the news lately. Personally, I will always stand for the anthem out of respect for my Dad and everyone else in the military. I also respect someone’s right not to stand, if […]
Limo Driver
I was driving the shuttle at the hospital one day when one of the guys I play basketball was arriving for work. “I didn’t know you were a volunteer here” he said. I explained how I fill in anytime whenever Marchelle needed me to. When he found out I had retired from John Deere, […]
Grant Hulse
Last week, my friend and neighbor Grant Hulse passed away. Grant and his wife Marsha live in the same cul-de-sac and have been our neighbors since we moved here in 1990. They are the best neighbors and friends anyone could ask for. Grant had not been feeling well, and his health had been […]
It’s Fair Time. Again!
Ah, the Eastern Idaho State Fair. The best self-esteem program I know. And by that, I mean there are some people who help build my self-esteem, and there are people I help build their self-esteem. I believe that’s called irony. I decided to go down early on the first Saturday and check things […]
The Last Night at the Chukars 2017
Last Saturday was the last night I could have my booth for the Foundation at the Chukars game. I want to thank Kevin Greene, and all his staff for their help and hospitality. I also want to thank Fred Meyer for the opportunity of having my booth there twice this year. They are responsible […]
The Solar Eclipse
“There’s not going to be any cell phone service!” “We are going to run out of food!” “We’ll run out of gas!” “The price of gasoline will be $6.00 per gallon!” “Zombies are going to rise from the grave and attack us all!” These were predictions I had heard were going to happen due […]
