2017-08-16 Dinner Time – Always a Good Time…
Just go make your own meal already. OK, this post is pretty much going to be a rant about my daughter. So sorry in advance for the less than stellar parenting that is about to be revealed. Today was the first day of school. She was so tired when she came home that she slept…

2017-08-13 Today is Mine
When I woke this morning at 7:33 after about 7 hours of sleep I said to myself, “Today is going to be my day”. I said it in a nice way, like I was going to hug the day and enjoy every minute of it’s time. Not in a mean sort of ownership way. I’m…

2017-08-09 Isn’t it Ironic
Today I went to the Red Cross blood drive just down the street. I have a long history of attempting to donate blood which is really great for several different reasons. First and most obviously, you are doing something good and helping people and that gives me a nice feeling. They say that every time…

2017-07-29 It’s a Doozie.. 1.5
Yesterday I had plans to take the kids to go have lunch with my Dad and his wife and they live across the river in Council Bluffs, Iowa. I let them pick the place and of course, they pick someplace in Council Bluffs because for some reason they rarely come across to this side of…

2017-07-20: These are a Few of Our Favorite Things…
On the plane ride home I asked my kids about our vacation with very specific questions. I think what you retain in your memories is solidified by recalling it several times, especially when it is fresh in your mind. I’m asking myself the same questions and will see how my answers stack up next to…

2017-07-14 PNW Day 4: I’ve Come a Long Way Baby…
… Literally. Yesterday I drove from Rockaway to Crescent City, Ca and what should have been a 6.5 hour drive took us 12 hours. We checked out of one motel at 11AM and checked into the next at 11PM. We made so many stops along the way. Some were good and some were bad, some…

2017-07-13 Sand Dollar Sunset Cheeseburger.. 4.25
I ended up booking a hotel in Rockaway Oregon because there were no rooms in Manzanita. Insert super sad face here but it’s good because I need to learn to branch out and try new things. I am now glad that I did because if it went differently I never would have experienced the Sand…
