Update on my Father-In-Law’s Condition

January 21, 2025 My father-in-law came through the surgery to put in a drain to relieve pressure just fine.

Scary News Concerning My Father-in-law

January 21, 2025 Yesterday, Bruce received a text that his father had been found in his car, confused and disoriented. He was inside the garage, with the car’s trunk open and the hazard lights on.

Yay! Bruce Is Home!

November 27, 2024 I heard the motorcycle roar up the driveway at 11:23 AM, so I ran into the garage as Bruce parked the motorcycle. He pulled off his helmet and gave me a kiss. As he shucked off his gear, I got Nox. Bruce loved on her as she wiggled with delight that her […]

Move Rant, Feel Free to Skip

October 14, 2024 Since I hadn’t heard from the movers, I called them today. Either the man I set the move up with doesn’t understand several things or he is just an outright liar. First, I was told that we would talk again before the move. It didn’t happen. I called the number he gave […]

Missing Your Comments on the Blog

October 14, 2024 I wasn’t ignoring you on purpose. I just discovered many comments from several of you in the Jetpack pending comments section.
