Day 3 dawned bright and sunny.  This was our day to drive into East Glacier Park where we are staying.  We had a 7 hour drive ahead of us.  We grabbed breakfast at the hotel and headed out.  But first, we needed to stop for gas, coffee, and water.  I pumped gas into the car […]

his afternoon, Rick and I were in the basement. I walked over to the window well to make sure there was nothing hanging out there. I was startled to see two little eyes and a bundle of fur. Somehow, a very young bunny had fallen into the window well and was lying there quietly. At […]

Saturday was Christmas.  I know it’s only the 21st, but sometimes you have to bend to meet the situation. This morning, Rick and I ran out on our errand.  It’s a ways down to South Elgin, but it is definitely worth the trip.  We went to Herb’s Bakery to pick up a carrot cake that […]

Summer dwindles down.  Can it already be the end of August?  I feel like I hardly enjoyed this summer enough.  This week was out of the norm for us. Tuesday afternoon, I had to drive down to Southern Indiana to handle some business for my sister.  The drive wasn’t too bad.  I only hit a […]

In the spring, I was planning my summer activities.  One of these would be to attend the Peter Frampton Guitar Circus.  It would be a blast from the past sort of thing in one part.  The other part was to see B.B King.  I’ve not taken an opportunity in the past to see B.B., but […]

Well, we knew this day would come.  We would be required to return the hostages to their parents.  It has been a fun couple of days though.We started out with breakfast.  We fixed cinnamon rolls.  Cael and Sophia had cereal besides.  Then with the dishes done, the troops headed out to the river for one […]

Rick has been really wonderful helping out with the kids.  I really appreciated that.  I had planned to some of the heavy lifting on the trips, but work was going stronger than ever.  Rick stepped up and went along to help herd kids.  Thanks, Rick, for all your hard work.  Dad couldn’t have done it […]

When Rich first suggested to me that he ask Vanessa to keep her kids for a week, I had some thoughts about what that meant.  Three kids under the age of 7 for several days.  I hadn’t been had to work with small kids on a voluntary basis in a while.  It was always easier […]

Today was another slow day.  I started out by trying to get caught up on my blogs.  I took my computer and everything out to the pool area.  So you can image my view now from the last post.  Rich got up and came out to bother me.  Then JP and Stephanie came out to […]

We woke up a little later than this morning.  That’s probably because we didn’t go to bed until so late.  At least it was late for us last night.  Everyone was getting a slow start.  Only Stephanie was up and truly moving.  She was down in the kitchen washing dishes.  I joined in to help. […]
