Window Pain

The blizzard of 2015 has begun. Snow is falling and swirling into my windows. When I was a boy, I thought that snow days were vacation days. However, these days snow days involve lots of work. I prefer the snow days of my youth.

Cape Cod Dreaming

It's winter time and our thoughts turn to warmer times. Ocean instead of snow. White caps instead of ice dams. Blue sky instead of grey overcast sky. Where is my sun screen?

Snow Removal

No more snow blower. No more snow shovels. No more roof raking. I'm so exhausted watching others remove my snow. Ahhh!

Wall-E

Living in a townhouse I am free from the burden of snow removal. It was fun to watch a bobcat removing snow from our driveway. I almost spilled my hot chocolate watching.

Precious Memories

Every day of the year, regardless of the weather, we would walk in the woods. It's been almost a year since he passed away and there isn't a day that I don't think of him.

The Kid In Me

While the grandchildren are busy growing up I am still holding on to my childhood. I can still color with them and do word searches.

Fashion

My Princess used to wear jeans. Now she dresses like a young woman. She is growing up too fast.

Pizza Buddies

Pizza tastes best when it is shared. When he was a little boy he would leave more food on his plate than he ate. But now that he is growing rapidly he eats to grow!

Music Room

Went to a music concert and listened to young people with amazing talent. It was amazing to watch people play such complicated music.

Big Boy Bike

There are many different kinds of bikes. Bikes with training wheels, bikes with three wheels and other kinds of bikes for those who don't ride seriously. But now he is a big boy and he rides a big boy bike. Why do they have to grow up?
