12.22.13 It’s Almost Here

Tonight we are going to a caroling party.  This is the first caroling party I’ve ever been to.  Wait…scratch that.  Once, the youth ministry at the Baptist church that I was a member of organized a caroling night that I had conveniently erased from my memory until just now.  I still remember what the neighborhood […]

12.13.13 The Post Office

The post office is my least favorite place to go.  At least…it was.  I’m not exactly sure why…but getting to the post office has been an on-going problem for me.  It’s even become a joke between myself and anyone I send packages to.  Like…my friend, Ami…for example.  We exchange birthday gifts every year.  And every […]

7.5.13 my girl can cook.

the sweet pea has said…for several years now…that she is going to be a “cooker” (chef) when she grows up.  she is going to have her own restaurant/bakery…(where we will eat free, by the way)…and she already has the name.  i’ll wait and let her tell the world. unbelievably…my dad plays golf with the owner […]
