School starts tomorrow. It’s time for haircuts. Mason was overjoyed on both counts as you can see. He didn’t want to have his hair cut at all but he conceded if it could be cut like Anthony Padilla. I asked him to smile but it was painful. The sun was right in his eyes. Walker […]
We have been juggling cell phones around here. Bill recently switched to an Android. I know it’s hard to believe but really, it’s been a very good change. It’s working very well for him except for the fact that Apple makes it very difficult to communicate with a group when some people are on iMessaging […]
RIP Greg IV March 4, 2014 – August 2, 2015 Our little Greg came to us back in 2014 and has lived quite the life. We have had four Gregs and each one of them has had its own story. This little Greg was the one that introduced us to veterinary care. About a year […]
It was finally time to pick Walker up! I will go on record to say that I embarrassed the heck out of my son but I didn’t mean to. I was that mom who enthusiastically waved to him through the window of the dining hall. My salutation was greeted with a look that said, “Go […]
On the last day before Walker got back, Bill, Mason and I headed out for some geocaching. We found one off the beaten path in a wooded area and then we stumbled upon this ladder. If there is such a thing as a stairway to heaven, what shall we call this?
Today we dropped Walker off at Camp Ondessonk. When we planned his camp schedule, we signed him up for Traditional Camp this week but since he got inducted into Lodge earlier this summer, our options changed. Attending Lodge Week with the other Lodge campers was too exciting an option to pass up. Walker’s unit was […]
Every now and again we head to the batting cages for fun. It was my first time going and I hit too. Much to my surprise, I even made contact with the ball. Afterwards, we spent a few quarters spent in the arcade as is the boys’ custom. My presence is noted in a sneaky […]
Today the boys and I took a field trip to the Vanderburgh 4-H Fairgrounds. One of our friends shows pygmy goats. We were lucky enough to see her and them while we were there. The goats were fun and someone in our house might now want to have a goat reside in the backyard. We […]
Today Mason and I headed down to the riverfront for some physical activity. In our house, it’s a requirement before getting on the computer for games. While bikes allow Mason to travel farther, my car is not equipped with the rack. Even when we do have the bikes, sometimes the pacing is all off. However, […]
Although Mason was home for just an hour and was quite dirty and exhausted after a week of camp, he really wanted to go to his friend’s birthday party Saturday afternoon. Mason wanted to so something special for his friend and I like consumable gifts so I suggested lunch and a movie on Sunday. Our […]
