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 […]
Roaring Youth Jam
I want to thank the Idaho Falls Arts Council for letting me have a booth at the Roaring Youth Jam. Their policy is that any Non-Profit organization can have a booth there for free. The only requirement is that you have something free for the kids to do. So, here is the test. Can […]
Tri-Cities Triathlon
I would like to start by wishing my Angel Shannon a very Happy Birthday today! This week’s story is about my trip last weekend to watch Ryan’s race. I left on Thursday so I could do more research for my training program. I stopped at several Agriculture dealerships to do some secret shopping, and […]
Foundation Night at the Chukars
I really enjoy the nights I can have a booth at the Chukars games. I would like to thank Kevin Greene, and everyone on the Chukars staff for their hospitality and support. I would also like to thank the businesses that have donated door prizes. Last year I started doing a free drawing […]
Another Opportunity
This week’s story is about a Chukars game I attended a couple of weeks ago. I had gone there to give my adopted granddaughter Savannah a ride home after the game. She is such a good kid, and it makes me feel great when she calls me G-Pa. As I was finding my way […]
Six Years
On Thursday, at 5:34 AM, it was exactly six years since my Angel Shannon left for her next chapter. There are days that it seems so much longer than that, and days that it seems like it was yesterday. For this week’s story, I want to let you know what I have learned […]
