Camping

Sunday, April 22nd, 2012

It seems that everyone in the house is getting that old camping bug. Since the weather is getting warmer. The kids are itching to go on our annual camping trip. Our only problem seems to be deciding where to go. I always like going to the woods, but the kids usually want to go to the beach.

Maybe we can find somewhere that is a little of both. I guess time will tell. Anyway I hope to see you there.

A wonderful parade

Sunday, March 18th, 2012

Saint Patrick’s Day is a pretty good holiday. It is one of the few holidays that have a parade. We were able to round up a bunch of people and we all went as a group. It was a fantastic time for all. The kids were excited as well as the adults.

After the parade was over (it was very good) we all went to a local park and had a huge cookout. We were able to secure the last open grill and we had plenty to eat. I am sure that we will all remember this day for a long time.

Shedding the tree

Friday, January 6th, 2012

The Christmas tree is finally on the curb. It took us a while to get rid of it but you know how I tend to procrastinate. It took a lot of effort to get the tree into shape, but it has served its purpose and we are done with it for this year.

I feel that it is time to move on to other things. There are birthdays coming up and I have a lot to look forward to. Now that the holiday season is over, it is good to be done with it. For all those who still have their tree up, I say its time to take it down.

Jack Frost

Sunday, December 25th, 2011

Chestnuts and open fires. Jack Frost is not yet nipping at our nose. While many people look forward to the snow and cold weather if not just on Christmas day, we haven’t received any cold weather as of yet. It would seem as though Jack Frost is on vacation.

For some reason, at this time of year, the hustle and bustle just doesn’t seem to be such a nuisance. As a matter of fact, it’s a little more welcomed. Hearts are open and full of good cheer.

Yuletide Carols

Sunday, December 25th, 2011

Christmas is a time for family and friends coming together. For wishing good cheer and letting the people you love know that they are special and thought of.

But Christmas music, also known as yuletide carols passed down through many generations just add so much to the sprit of Christmas. Mostly if there is music in the air there is music in the heart. So in the spirit of Christmas, keep a song in your heart.
