What would your wife say?
I’ve always felt like I was pretty good at loading a truck, but the other day, a customer showed me up!
The cone of shame
Potter is our dog, and he just celebrated a birthday. He attacked his day like any other day. He devoured his morning bowl of food as though eating it was a competition; and, then he proceeded to stare at us, longingly, like he had somehow been short changed. It’s pretty much the same routine at every meal.
After accepting that seconds weren’t in his future, he proceeded to find a place to take a well-earned nap. Let’s face it, eating takes a lot out of you!
He has a tough life.
Celebrating the finish Line
Our youngest, Cooper, graduated college this past Saturday. It was a fantastic weekend full of ceremonies, celebrations, friends, family, eating...a little drinking...and some reflection.
And that reflection I’m referring to, was by me.
For the past 26 years, my wife and I have been raising our kids. It got easier over the years, but none the less, there were still responsibilities. Well, it hit me Saturday, we’re done!
Helicopters!
A friend of mine asked me a few weeks ago if I thought any of the frosty nights we’d been experiencing might have taken out the Silver Maple seed crop for the year.
I told him that was wishful thinking, and only time would tell. Well, a little time has gone by and I think we’ve gotten our answer...
that foot is me!
It’s started. Springtime has slowly returned. It’s brought nice temps, spring flowers, a little too much wind...and some unwanted visitors... moles.
Beer & Nuts
Sometimes, weird things happen. This winter, I was taking advantage of a nice day to clean my gutters. Nothing too glamourous, nothing too unusual, just cleaning out lots of leaves, like I do several times a season. I was almost done, finishing up the last section of guttering on the side of the house, when I encountered a little more than dead leaves. I found a beer bottle — in my gutters.
Mudbugs, Beer and a Bib
We recently traveled to New Orleans. My wife and I went down there to watch K-State play Alabama in the Sugar Bowl. That game didn’t go so well, but the trip was a lot of fun.
