Strange how the events of a few days can change the atmosphere around you. Just days after I was joyously welcoming the arrival of two special little ones, a life-long family of friends experienced not one, not, two, but three tragedies. On Thursday, one of my dearest friends welcomed a new granddaughter. The moments Teresa […]

Today, I became an uncle yet again. Kyndal Grace Hazelton was born at 3:46pm weighing in at 7lbs 10oz and measuring 19.5″. It has been a long haul but she arrived safely. Calls at 12:30am… 3:00am…7:45am. Finally, Charnel’s water was broken around 11 this morning. We have two little girls and a Bandit sharing the

WOW! I learned at my weekly voice lesson that the local community theatre’s production of A Christmas Story already has two dates sold out! Not sure if a show has had sold out dates two months ahead in this area, but this is the first I know of. K will be playing the role of Ralphie’s

Well… I finally set the date in which I will put on glorious display that which I have been concentrating on for sometime. It is just less than 5 months away but it will be here before I know it. Even with this leg of mine the last 7 months have not been slow… although
Twenty years ago, a resurgence of Star Wars began not on the big screen but on the printed page. Back in 1991, the franchise itself was in danger of becoming obsolete and forgotten. It had been 8 years since Return of the Jedi ( long before the Special Editions and bloody prequels came along). Enter Lucasfilm

This afternoon, the family made the @ 2 hour trek to our cousin’s home in Huron… not a “fur piece” from the Amazement Park.. in fact once we exited, we had the choice of turning left to go to DRM’s or right to go to the Point. This time, the left turn (at Albuquerque) won

It just seems surreal that we are already remembering the tenth anniversary of one of the two days that “will live in infamy.” It seems like only yesterday when I rushed out into the beauty shop (on a Tuesday… don’t remember why Mom was working unusually on a Tuesday) to tell everyone that a plane

Started on Wednesday afternoon. Dad came home from his crossing guard duty and headed to his bedroom (in itself not unusual) and fell asleep (which is a little strange). Around 6, he cam out for a bit and told us that he was not feeling well and shortly turned in for the night. Around 11,

Ok… backtrack post… Saturday night after church, I tagged along with my parents to watch the little ones in their new house. While it was fun to have the family stay at the house after their return from “The Last Frontier”, it was a relief for all concerned when they moved into their new abode

Well… another summer is UNofficially over. It seems that once Labor Day is here, the kiddies are back in school and the county fair is about to begin, the scene changes. However, it is my favorite season. This holiday weekend is considerably different and I did not even realize that it was set to change
