NCAA Tournament
I know everyone thought you were going to get a story about spring break this week. I was going to write about our trip to Cancun and how we got to meet Brad Pitt. He was staying at the same hotel we were. But I decided I wanted to share my observations of the […]
The Home and Garden Show
Last weekend was the Home and Garden Show at Kingston Plaza. I would like to thank Elite Events for allowing me booth space for my Foundation. I always look forward to these events so I can let people know about the assistance we provide cancer patients and keeping my Angel Shannon’s memory alive. One […]
Silver Linings
It doesn’t seem to matter, every time I start to feel discouraged about a situation, something always comes along to remind me how fortunate I am. I will start this week’s story with an incident that happened at Jamba Juice the other morning. Before we get into the story, I need to give […]
The California Trip
Okay, remember when I said the hardest thing about writing these stories was finding a topic and making it interesting to read? Well, this story might test those limits. Let’s start with the title. I remember back when people would share their vacation stories with a slide projector. Now, they just use Social Media. (Remember […]
My favorite Christmas memory
Before I begin this story, I want to thank my brother Craig and my Mother-In-Law Berna Deane. Because of their VERY GENEROUS donations, the Shannon Wilker Foundation is going to be able to help twelve families enjoy a really nice Christmas meal this year. I also want to thank everyone else who has donated […]
Our first date anniversary
It was December 6, 1980 when I took a beautiful, gorgeous, amazing woman out on our first date. Now there really isn’t much to do in Marsh Valley, so I wisely decided against taking her to dinner at the truck stop in McCammon. Instead we went to Jakers in Pocatello. The best way […]
The first contribution
I am happy to be able to write this story on behalf of the Shannon Wilker Foundation. The goal of this Foundation is to raise money so we can donate it directly to local breast cancer patients and their families. I want everyone who has sent money to this Foundation to know how […]
I am thankful for…
Before I start with the story, I want to wish everyone a safe and Happy Thanksgiving. I want to tell my family how thankful I am for them and everything they do for me. I am so proud of our two sons and granddaughters, and I am thankful for the strong family bond we […]
The Shuttle Ride
Before I start with my story, I want to acknowledge all the veterans past and present for their service and sacrifice for our country. Even though last Wednesday was the day recognized as Veterans Day, it really should be every day. Thank you all for keeping us safe and free. As I tried […]
The Dealer Convention
This story could also be titled Aloha #2 since it also takes place in Hawaii. Before I purchased the tickets for Ryan’s race, my business partner in Canada informed me the Far West Equipment Dealers Association was holding their convention in Hawaii the first week of November. It was a tough decision, but for […]
