Friday was the 50th anniversary of Betsy's birth, so we filled the day with festivities, many of the free, to celebrate together. The day began with dropping the daughter off for the work shift at TJ Maxx, followed by a walking tour of Sam's Club in Liberty. Being business members, we get in early, … Continue reading A Google Fiber Birthday/Christmas

Call Tree
I was part of a call tree test last night. They gave us a test, and they let us now the test was coming. They even told us what time to expect the call. Everything was paused in the house waiting for the call. Fifteen minutes later we were still waiting when the call was … Continue reading Call Tree

A Blast of the Past #31: Daylight at Penguin Park
A few posts ago I did some night-time shots of Penguin Park. Today's post is Penguin Park in the daylight. I haven't been there in a long time, my kids are so far beyond this stage now, but I think the merry-go-round featured in some of these pictures is gone now. I know they have … Continue reading A Blast of the Past #31: Daylight at Penguin Park

A Blast of the Past #27: Strawberries in Kearney
Today's look back is going to discuss gardening. Everywhere we have lived I have done some sort of gardening. With experience you are supposed to get better. Doesn't feel that way to me where gardening is concerned.

A Blast of the Past #26: Easter 1999
Spent some of today looking some pictures of the beautiful pictures of the beautiful women in my life. See these couple of photos from Easter 1999: I can't help but admire how happy and radiant they both are. Carly was always cute, and Betsy always has such a beauty of presence to match her beauty … Continue reading A Blast of the Past #26: Easter 1999
A series of pleasant surprises.
Today is another quick post. For our 20th anniversary on Wednesday I whisked Betsy off Tuesday night to a surprise destination, and we had and enjoyable evening at that destination, and then roamed around Wednesday, just taking a "Sunday drive" and visiting and revisiting sites, until she thought I didn't have any more surprises. Then … Continue reading A series of pleasant surprises.
Keeping Score: 20 years
Today is Betsy and my 20th anniversary. We are somewhere special I have planned for her and that she didn't know about until she got there. So today's post is going to be short, since I'm doing more important things than blogging 😉
