This is one of my favorite stories about our Oldest son. So he starts to learn to drive (he was so bad at it!!!) and his Grandfather gives him a car that dies just a few months after he had it. Mechanical, wasn’t his fault. Of course our son had torn the bumpers off by […]
I have never seen anything like the way these kids blow through a Christmas morning. For me and maybe for many of you, from Thanksgiving night all the way to Christmas, it was all about anticipation. We were asked to write a Christmas list, which we painstakingly did. We were asked once, and we proudly […]
It’s storming right now, so I am reminded of something that happened one stormy night a while back, this is a good one. It has to do with growing up, responsibility and parental endurance. Our eldest son had started working at a pancake house and good for him. He met there, a girl whose name […]
Ahh the girls, where to begin. Well let’s start by saying that we have two the same age. They are twins. They are not identical; in fact they are as different as night and day. One of their favorite gags is when in public we introduce them as twins and some poor sap says…Oh, fraternal? […]

So after a little too much to drink the night before and therefore a bit of a rocky start, the plan was to leave the local B&B where we had spent that first night and hit the road early the next morning. We were driving to Estes Park Colorado and wanted to get an early […]
I eloped with my late husband, so I’d never had a wedding before. I thought it would be nice to have one and it was important to my fiance’ that ours be a union recognized by his church. We knew this was going to be a special time for us and we wanted the kids […]
