Bravery

I know I used to do things like this as a child and I survived.  Still, as a parent, I was very nervous as I watched my daughter jump down into the lake on our summer vacation.  I held my breath the whole time I watched her, and breathed a sigh of relief when her [...]

Toronto, eh?

This summer we drove to Toronto to visit my cousin.  It was a great trip.  his new house is real nice.  We went right downtown and there is so much to see and do there.  Plus we drove out of town to see Lake Superior.  It is so big!  I love the ceiling at Union [...]

Absorbing Mushroom?

I am behind the times, especially when it comes to games.  To me a game is a board game.  My kids just laugh at my ignorance.  My nephew showed me this mushroom thingy and then launched into a long explanation of Mario Kart and the absorbing blue mushroom.  That lead to even longer explanations about [...]

Cloudwatching

Are you a cloudwatcher like I am?  I am content to lie on my back in the yard on a summery day and watch the clouds roll by, looking for interesting shapes.  My kids like doing this with me.  Look at this photo I shot at my newphew’s football game.  Unbelievable cloud formation.

Cards are a Great Escape

Playing cards is a great source of amusement.  I can really get lost in a card game.  I forget where I am and am focused intently on strategy.  It is a great escape from the troubles of life.  Similar to reading a book or watching a movie.  What’s your favorite card game?

Yuck and Ugh!

My kids hate these darn cicadas and I have to admit I do, too. I get shivers when I look at this photo my wife took. Even the chance to use a digital camera would not get either of my kids to get close to this thing.

What I Did Over Summer Vacation

I had a blast with my kids on the beach! How about you? Here is a photo of a sandcastle I built with my son and daughter. We had a great time doing this and it actually lasted most of the day, until the tide came in… When was the last time you built a [...]

Fall is Here

Fall is my favorite season for many reasons.  I love the crisp air and colorful leaves.  I love watching all the children returning to school after sun drenched summer days.
