watch your step

Where I live, it isn’t often you see great expanses like this:

I can’t believe I let Jane get so close to this cliff.  She’s just hanging out there with her binoculars looking at West Virginia and the Ohio river, while I take the photo from in the car.  Yes, I didn’t even want to get out [...]

colored days

I love to read My Many Colored Days to my girls.  Dr. Suess can get anoying to read (over and over like kids love), but this one does not bother me.  I like Go, Dog, Go, but not again and again.  One Fish, Two Fish is fun, but not again and again.  My Many Colored Days, [...]

does it matter?

I find myself getting a bit ticked off this afternoon, combing mashed potatoes out of the dog’s hair.  I went to the bathroom during lunch, should have known better. 
“Why can’t food stay on the plate, or least the table?”  I asked my girls this over and over.  How is it that a mother can turn [...]

An good read on the basics of GMO’s.  I plan on reading more on the topic as it interests me.  I found the PLU#  guide  to be helpful and will look [...]

much needed haircut

Here is a photo of our little Ilean from around Easter.  It’s an awful picture of her, she would b embarrassed for me to show it I am sure.  Her top-knot is not done properly, she could use a brushing, and that darn reflection that dog eyes get in pictures…regardless, she is a hairy beast.  [...]

frustrations!

I haven’t been posting the last few days, obviously.  There are a few things keeping me busy and that is okay, but it just seems like things all pile on all at once.  Add to that a good new book and well, the blog lost out last week.
Frustrations for the beginning of May:

CHAPTER 8:  DADDY vs. TRYING TRADITIONAL
I love my wife.  With all my heart.  And I want to help her and try to the best I can.  I accomplish this with “Yes, dear” and by doing whatever I’m told.  My first employer once told me “Happy wife, happy life.”  I’ve tried to heed his warning advice.  [...]

Chapter 7:  Daddy vs. Nancy Drew
 
So, I saw this game online that looked interesting.  Nancy Drew and the Haunted Carousel (and to make it legal, it’s by HER Interactive, available now, online at www.herinteractive.com). 

 
 
 
                                             

 
 
 
Anyway, I could get a free 1-hour trial.  I like mystery games, so I thought, “Why not?”  Long story short, [...]

Chapter 6: Daddy versus the Awkward Potty
 
Do you remember Choose-Your-Own-Adventure books?  I used to love them as a kid.  I must have read over 30 different ones from the library.  I have pondered, at times, that they should publish a Choose-Your-Own-Adventure book for new dads.  Better yet, a whole series, with each book dealing with [...]

CHAPTER 4:  DADDY VERSUS THE DISNEY PRINCES
 
Insanity.  My kids have it.  From where did it come? 
 
Editors Note: Notice how the preposition “from” began the sentence and did not end the sentence.  A preposition should never end a sentence.  No matter how much I see it in our local paper, or in my kids school [...]
