Jenny was my next door neighbor when I was young. We played together. A lot. We also argued a lot. And got each other in trouble on occasion. I got her to play with my Star Wars toys and she got me to play with her Barbies. In many ways, she was the older sister…
I’m sad to announce that the last of the Mickey Mouse Platys that I bought in Tennessee a few years ago has died. I think we were down to two after the move up here. The one I had nicknamed ‘Nemo’ had died shortly after the move. He was already injured and I think the…
We’re here! I’m amazed at the hospitality that has already been shown here. First of all, the house looks amazing! New carpets and flooring throughout the house and other small adjustments have really made the house look 100 times better than the last time we saw it. Itoriginally looked like a fixer-upper.

On the lower-right-hand corner, those little brownish-greyish specks…
Christy bought me an aquarium for our first Christmas that we were married. Since that time, it has housed several fish, but it has also remained dormant for far too long. This past week, we began the process of returning the aquarium to its rightful state. Last night, the kids and I went and bought…
