The Arizona Trip
This week I attended the Western Equipment Dealers Association convention in Phoenix. I enjoy this convention for a few reasons. The most important reason, I get to spend time with my nephew Quinn and his family. They make me feel welcome and we have a wonderful time together. I also like the weather in Phoenix […]
Happy Thanksgiving 2017
I hope everyone had a safe and Happy Thanksgiving. I would like to thank my nephew Jack for arranging Thanksgiving dinner at the Sandpiper in Pocatello. It was great getting together with family and the food was terrific. Since it’s customary to say what you are thankful for, of course I am going […]
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
Halloween has always been one of my favorite holidays. If you have been reading these stories from the start, please be patient as I retell my first Halloween story. What Halloween Means to Me – October 2013 “I will never forget when Justin brought Cassidy over for her first Halloween. She was […]
My First Tip
To put this week’s story in the proper perspective, we need to go back to the month of August. The week before the Solar Eclipse to be exact. I had been talking with my friend who wanted me to get my CDL license, so I could start driving a limo. I had checked into […]
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 […]
