The Months Go By
This book has my name and the year I was born written in it by my mother. So I am guessing it was bought for me that year. When I think of ‘The Lady and the Tramp’ I think of Grandma Rosie and watching the movie with her. I didn’t realize I had this book.…

Dining Out… Memories
A couple of weeks ago we introduced my Dad to Cackleberries in Terre Haute. He hadn’t been there since it had been Chicago’s Pizza. That seems like a lifetime ago. It’s a fun name though isn’t it for a restaurant. So we have now hooked Dad to this restaurant solely based on their Cheddar and…

A Reason
Abortion has one reason. Honestly since the Red Wave failed to achieve the expected heights everyone has seen how this one issue toppled the Republican Party time and again.

A Very Special 8th Vintage Birthday Card
Today marks 18 years since my cousin Neil died. I remember that week well; falling to my knees in shock when my parents told me. Here are my brothers, Caleb and Neil in these photos. Sometimes 3 or 4 peas in a pod. So this is Neil, Jared, my brother and Caleb another cousin. These three…
