You never known when the next pandemic will hit so we’ve gotten smart and started buying twice as much toilet paper as we would normally during our Costco runs…just in case!

Throwback Thursday – #tbt – Happy 15th Birthday Pace!

Hard to believe this video montage I made of pics from when Pace was born is from fifteen years ago! (Also hard to believe it’s my most viewed video of all-time with nearly 50,000 views but I attribute that more to using a Loretta Lynn song than people being interested in pics of Baby Pace!) […]

Obviously, that hasn’t been possible for the last couple years and we debated back and forth whether to do it this year since she has some pretty serious respiratory issues and although our entire immediate […]

Saturday Snap – Supper With Friends (and Some Thoughts on the World We’re Living In)

Shea and I went for supper with some friends on Friday night and it was good to catch up, compare notes, and have a few laughs after not having done a restaurant meal with people who we’d normally go out with a few times per year before Covid. (We have done virtual happy hours/outside visits/potlucks […]

Saturday Snap – My Good Deed For The Week?

Last week, a buddy who lives nearby asked if I’d help him move a fridge. Since I was picking up a free growler of beer he’d offered, I felt like I had to say “yes” (just kidding – I would’ve said “yes” even without the beer bribe!) But I misunderstood what he was asking. I […]
