Ordinary Extra - May 26, 2023. Go With The Flow. A night of broken sleep led to another cool, early morning. I didn't rest as well as I wanted to but I was better rested than when I went to sleep the night before. I started moving, and praying along the way, to go forward and go with the flow.

7 Years Not Here April 14, 2023: I am missing my Dad. It has been seven years. 7 years not here. Dad, I miss you. But, how could I ever question God's perfect timing. I know you are in your heavenly home and that thought alone makes me smile. Continue Reading...

March 17-18, 2023 - Regionals Weekend - Tier III - 2010 Flames. The 2010 Flames season was over last Sunday. Done. Then a team backed out of Regionals. The Flames were called. The Flames went. They played in the Tier III New England Regionals. After a 2-1 record in pool play, the Flames were the odd team out in a series of tiebreakers. The kids played outstanding team hockey and represented Continue Reading...
