Wow, it’s been a long time since I posted anything. No real excuses other than retirement can be busy – and not always how you thought it was going to be back when you were wishing for it. Sitting here today watching it rain and my two of my grandsons playing and watching TV, somehowContinue reading “Fishing Throughout the Years”

Whew!
Sitting here at my computer on Sunday evening following Thanksgiving week. My wife and I have laughed about this today, but after a great family week, both of us just are sitting down today and saying, Whew, what a week! If you are grandparent – you know what I mean! Don’t get me wrong hereContinue reading “Whew!”
Thanksgiving Remembrances
There is no doubt as you get older your activities during Thanksgiving change but one thing should never change. You should always be thankful to God for all he has given us. If you look closely enough today, there are forces at work trying to eliminate the traditional family and family values and that evenContinue reading “Thanksgiving Remembrances”
A Walk along a Country Road with a Little Buddy
One of the main reasons I retired over a year ago was so I could help provide daycare for my grandkids while my girls worked. Today is one of those lucky days I get to watch my youngest grandson. We are winding down the summer season, so it was a perfect day to take aContinue reading “A Walk along a Country Road with a Little Buddy”
Thoughts and my daily agenda from a Retired Educator on the First Day of School (warning, some soapbox paragraphs here)

Thankfully that is a minority of people involved in education, butContinue reading “Thoughts and my daily agenda from a Retired Educator on the First Day of School (warning, some soapbox paragraphs here)”

I wasContinue reading “Spring Gardening in the Western MD Mountains”
It’s March!!!! Life is Good!!!
The last few weeks of February have been rather dreary here in the Mountains of Western Maryland – cabin fever definitely set in! The last few days have gone a long way to cure that fever though!!! My wife and I got to go visit my granddaughter and her parents this weekend for her 1stContinue reading “It’s March!!!! Life is Good!!!”
My History of Gardening
I will start right off by saying I love to plant and keep a vegetable garden. It is a stress reliever and there is nothing better than walking through it on those summer mornings and pulling a few weeds and watching those plants mature, but I haven’t always felt that way! My mom and dadContinue reading “My History of Gardening”
Grandkids (Part 1 of Many I Am Sure)
Sitting here in front of the computer after quite a weekend waiting on my wood stove to catch up so I can blow snow, take care of the animals and basically get the week going. Hard to believe it is February 1st. It was a great weekend – my wife’s birthday, spending time with theContinue reading “Grandkids (Part 1 of Many I Am Sure)”
