[…] A good friend had four tickets to NASCAR and the boys wanted to go. I had never been to a NASCAR race and Eric said that you need to go at least once in your life. We got to the racetrack early enough to wander around and see the many exhibits. Every driver seemed to […] It is amazing that time has passed so quickly. Tomorrow is Emily’s 21st birthday.

The disbelief at what I was seeing and hearing because it seemed all to horrible. The somber reality that what was happening was real and many people perished. May we never forget and be vigilant in the future to protect our County, […] Janet let me know that she was going to make waffles tonight. She found a recipe at Home on the Range that looked good. Janet and Jacob worked on the bacon and the batter and then Jacob did the cooking. My photo does not do justice to the flavor. They were great, especially with the […] Today Eric, Jacob and I had dinner with my grandfather and their great grandfather. Willard is getting up in years – about 98 to be exact.

It started with the creation of empty brass with Eric, a BBQ lunch with Janet, Eric, Emily and several other family members, sailing with Eric and Emily and finished with another BBQ with Eric, Emily and Janet. July 5th celebration […] As it is father’s day, I had time to look back on father’s day just a year ago. My brothers Alan, Wayne. And Eric and I gathered around our father’s bedside.

We talked about the river trip that we took together in […] When the baby of the family is on his way to High School next year, it gives one pause. It is a time to think of how the years have passed so quickly, a time to contemplate how a little cute child is growing up so soon. Jacob at an airshow in […] Emily, Eric and I walk Mt Rubidoux together about once a week. Tonight was a nice evening. We made it up and back in just over 50 minutes for the 3.45 mile trip.
