Don't Call Us, We'll Call You!

My cell phone has been acting up lately and while checking the website of my carrier, I saw one I wanted at a very nice price "for a limited time only!' type deal. Having done a lot of business with this company (my company owns 23 phones from them), I called and asked them to hold one for me and... Sign in to see full entry.

A Day of Family

It is amazing that even under the worst of stress, when a family that is scattered far away finally manages to gather, a day becomes a wonderful thing.Our daughter is also a nurse and just as she knew growing up, the families of nurses, medics, police, firemen, and the military know that Sunday is...

Home From The Road

Whew. It seems that no matter how you tell yourself that you aren't gonna stay all day at this guy's house, you end up staying there too long... and I did. My intention was to be home by 5PM latest and we all know where good intentions take us. I pulled into the drive of home about 12:25 AM. My eyes... Sign in to see full entry.

Off To See The Wizard...

Well maybe not quite that far but I am off to the Tulip City of Michigan, beautiful downtown Holland to visit a friend and do a little business. When the Tulip Fetival starts up this spring, I'll wander over to get all the photos I can of the flowers. Today, nothing quite that nice ahead but it will... Sign in to see full entry.

Weather Or Not

Hurray! It looks like the forecast was wrong... or for at least the part of the day I was planning to be out and about. The snow/sleet/rain they promised us must have just stalled or decided to bother someone else for a while. We have 10" of snow in our yard right now. Who ever is getting 'our' snow...

Much quieter day here today. Thank goodness for small favors! I have to journey over to Holland, Michigan tomorrow and of course, what are they saying about the weather? Yep. A rainy, snowy mix. Fortunately, my destination is just off a main highway and the City of Holland is good at clearing their... Sign in to see full entry.

Some Days Are Diamonds, Some Days Are Stone

I'm going to try not to allow this to become a drama saga here but today was another where my wife was doing worse than I had hoped. Some of the hysteria that held her the day before has past but she is pacing all over the place and worried about 'something bad happening.' This is part of a cycle... Sign in to see full entry.

The Long and Winding Road

Today was far busier than I had hoped. My wife had a doctor's appointment that went from what was to have been a 12 minute visit to a three hour excursion into "What Do We Do Next?" As I have posted before, a year ago about this time, she was supervisor of a fairly large OB department. She passed... Sign in to see full entry.

Snow, Lovely Snow!

We just came back online here in my part of the boondocks in western central Michigan. How big of a boondocks are we in? I looked out the window and saw about a dozen good looking white tail deer in the driveway. I was going to get a photo of them but in my hurry to get my camera around, I...

It's Snowing But I Can Add To This One!

Internet went down early today after 14" of snow. Using cell to post! Hopefully back tomorrow! BUT..... My fictionalized story of "Am I Crazy Or Is That Ralph" is almost done. Two... three days more and it is done. I had thought about posting the third story that will comprise my next book but I've... Sign in to see full entry.
