The Red Sox have Boston singing in the streets

Potholes and Puddles

Once in a while, quite often actually, I think it’s good to just let kids be kids, regardless of my personal feelings on cleanliness, order, and things along those lines. Yes, we have a huge… 

Another Visit to Gould Hill Farm

The Twins Go To School

Today was another day to remember. The twins, at three-and-a-half years old, went to their first day of school. Well, pre-pre-school, as I call it. Either way, there were pictures, good-byes, anticipations, uncertainties, and excitement.… 

You left your mark

Today’s your birthday but you’re not here Thinking of you draws out lonely tears Β  You’ve been called home but we celebrate No longer seen, but for the birth this date Β  What you did… 

Impressions

We see you there and we ask why Shouldn’t we just pass you by? Β  Life lessons tell us this is bad We know; our mind’s eye is sad Β  Experience says this can’t go… 

Something Nice

So, upon reaching our vacation destination in Maine, one of my top priorities was to sit in peace and read this book. That I did. Thank you J. I enjoyed this book very much.

Can’t wait to get back

We have only been home for 2 1/2 days and I can’t wait to get back up to the Down East. Lord willing, we hope to return for a fourth consecutive year in August 2014.… 

Beals Island 2013

On our, now annual, vacation to Down East Maine we trekked up to Beals Island. I love this little fishing village where my ancestors came from. The population was down to 508 people as of… 

Little bird on a branch

Once the hummingbirds leaves the feeder, they are hard to find. This is the best my zoom could do from about 40 feet away.

I like my hot dogs well done

I asked Theodore if he had slipped into the kitchen and eaten one of the hot dogs from my plate. He answered with a question, “Daddy share your hot dogs?” I said that I did.… 

Good eating

Yesterday my three year old daughter and I were sharing some leftovers for lunch. Jacqueline was enjoying some bites of the pasta and was cordial enough to say, “Thanks for sharing your food Dad.” This… 

3 Days in Pittsburg

Recently, my wife, our three youngest kids, and I made a last-minute trip to Pittsburg, NH for a little getaway. We packed quickly, jumped in the van, and drove some 170 miles, or so, north…
