These three guys are my everything. He’s such a good dad to our punks and I appreciate him so much. Here’s to you honey! You forged a new path than how you were raised concerning fatherhood and you lead with such honor, kindness, love and sometimes mischeviousness. I wonder where these two get it?
On Mother’s Day we woke up, went to church, and then had lunch with my ‘rents. Then we came home, took a few pictures on our back patio of me with the boys. Their attention span for this was about three minutes, so we changed clothes and went antiquing. Antiquing is always a fun time […]

Our canines needed some new collars and since I’m on this leather working kick, I thought this was the perfect project for my punks to tackle. I bought dog collar kits at Tandy Leather. First, we measured their necks and cut the collars to size. Then we found the middle of the collar and hammered […]
Today we will finish the first week of school. My youngest starts school this year about 2-3 inches taller than last year, looking more and more like the teen he is. I’m watching him come into himself with confidence which is hard to come by in jr. high, but what I see is he is truly […]
But there is something you should know. I hate to work out and I hate to sweat. I have a hip issue… a shoulder issue… a back issue… and a lung issue (as in “heaven help me I cannot breathe and I’m going to die”). So because of my issues, I don’t like to work […]
