My oldest sister and her fiance eloped back in October. Of 1983.
So this weekend, we’re going to their wedding reception.
I have a wonderful mother-in-law, and I am hoping to be the same to my future DIL (henceforth known as LDIL, for “Lovely Daughter-in-law”).
So, shortly after she and HS announced their engagement, I wrote her a letter welcoming her to the family. I used some lovely stationery that a friend have given me sometime [...]
Dear Mr. B,
I’ve always admired your love of the great outdoors, even though I’d often prefer to curl up inside with a good book or my blogroll.
Still, like you, I appreciate a good dose of fresh air, especially on a summer morning.

It was time to widen our front walk, otherwise known as trimming the hedges growing on both sides. You’ll be happy to know that even though I [...]
Today’s thought for the day is courtesy of Mr. B.
If you’re going to go swimming with a cell phone in your pocket, do it the month a month before you upgrade your phone with a two-year commitment, not the month after.
Geez, first he gets engaged, and the next thing you know, he turns 23.
Happy Birthday, HS!
I figured if I made enough guesses about HS’s news , I stood a pretty good chance at getting it right.
And I did.
We took him and his girlfriend out to lunch on Saturday. My son, the talented writer, pulled out a bag he’d brought along. “Remember my essay on Southern literature?”
He then pulled [...]
To my American readers, anyway. I hope the rest of you have a nice day, too, even if you do have to work.
I guess I have officially reached "curmudgeon" status, because this Joe Heller cartoon pretty much sums up my view of the best-known way to celebrate our nation’s birthday.
