Holidays
Main Blog on Jan 2nd 2010
It is hard to believe both Christmas and New Year’s have already passed by. We have begun a new decade 2010. It will probably be about March before I stop writing 2009 out of habit.
We had a nice Christmas this year. My son is into airsoft guns and equipment which can become quite expensive. Actually [...]
Vacation Time
Main Blog on Jul 30th 2009
What is it about vacation time? You anticipate it all year long and it is gone in a blink. Sad but so very true. Vacation is never long enough. Why does our work time not go as quickly?

Another Giant Step for my Daughter
Main Blog on Dec 19th 2008

My Birthday Week
Main Blog on Nov 13th 2008
Isn’t it funny how children do not understand why parents are not thrilled when our birthdays roll around? I explained to my daughter who will soon be 9, parents do not as a rule have parties or get a lot of gifts. Most of the time we have to work on our birthday and it [...]
The Sandwich Generation – continued…
Main Blog on Nov 13th 2008
Since my last posting, I have gotten some great responses to my situation with my mom. I really appreciate all who have made suggestions and/or gave support.
However, a comment posted by a reader has been the most helpful of all. It has given me a much needed new perspective on the situation. God answered my [...]
