While getting older sucks out loud, I did have a wonderful birthday. Have you noticed... Have you noticed that the older you get the more you think about the future? Of course, when your earning power days are about over, you wish you'd have thought about the big...

olympic hero wants my birthday to be special
My favorite brother and I have a relationship with WWE. His is stronger than mine because he never waivers from watching... I'm not nearly as dedicated. My favorites... Still, I know which wrestlers are most popular and have my favorites. Scott, Tammy and I went to a...
katie is riding on the struggle bus
Tomorrow will be 3 weeks since Katie went to Tennessee. She still hasn't moved in her house or started her job. She's really struggling. It probably didn't help that I sent her a photo of me with her Dad while at the local bar. Katie is a worker bee. Katie's busy --...

Poor Katie still isn't moved into her new home in Tennessee. I remember how I felt waiting on the previous barndo owners to move out so I could move my stuff in. The "out of the Seymour house" deadline was very close to the "can move in the barndo" date. I worried so...

Seeing more birds flocking to the feeder near the front door of the barndo, I'm considering adding another feeder that I can see from my desk in the office/family room. The feeder addition presents 2 specific challenges... If I can see birds on the feeder, that means...
what one word will people remember you by when you’re gone?
Yesterday was my Nanny's birthday. Born 1/27/2011, she saw a whole lot of the world's changes before her death, 8/26/2009. I sure do miss her. ❤️ She was sweet. Every year I post a photo of her on Facebook on her birthday. Almost every single comment says she was...
