Magnificent Grandson
Monday, February 21st, 2011Stopping in at my local bagel place for a breakfast on the run, my entry was blocked by a grandma, grandson pair on what looked to be a special day out.

Magificent Uncle
Tuesday, February 15th, 2011Kind actions may not seem to carry much staying power, but consider this.

They need […]
Magnificent Snow Man
Monday, February 7th, 2011My local Sam’s club was packed a few days ago as our city prepared for a major snow storm.

Sunday, January 2nd, 2011Don’t forget that holiday spirit just yet…..
Par for the frenzy of holiday course-I spend three days trying to find a Christmas tree. Our trees are always fifteen footers. Therein lays the problem. Finally, a phone call confirmed Ted Drew’s frozen custard/tree lot had several large trees.
Arriving at the lot, my excitement was […]
