Without a flock of grandpunks around, decorating for Christmas just doesn't happen with the same enthusiasm.

Mom and Dad planted this Brooks Plum tree in the back yard about 27 years ago, I think. Brooks make the best dried prunes you ever chewed on - like candy! At this stage, they are ALMOST ripe. A few are getting to the characteristic purpley-blue-black that means. We were generous, though. And managed to get our share, too. Those plums are the BEST. They are European p...While we ...

Mighty nice - this...

Words to live by. Love and Compassion are necessities not luxuries. Without them we cannot survive. Monday, July 23, 2012. Don't mess with GG! OK, so I'm breaking my word - but I didn't cross my heart, so it's OK, right? The Coon Wars consist of many small skirmishes - some more dramatic than others. One day Mom and I were sitting at the dining room table playing crib, when we noticed a resident bandit was raiding the bird feeder - in broad daylight. Mom was appalled. Then she was mad! Sometime later, I ...

You learn to dress for the climate, just as we do for the coast, or Wisconsin winters. Than and Collin are in period costume, for a four-day adventure pulling handcarts and reliving Mormon pioneer history. Than claims his black hat looked as though it had already been on Trek.
