This is a bit of a different walk down memory lane. One of the first things I did when I started working from home was cleaning out what I guess what you would call my spare desk. I didn’t want to dump a bunch of work stuff on my normal… Read More »Chris’ New House 2009
25 days working from home down. No clue how many are left, but I’m guessing it at least 2 more weeks. This week with my extra stay at home time, I mopped my floors. All of them. Not counting the basement. We don’t talk about the basement! I also cleaned… Read More »Elainie Homecoming Ch. 1
I’ve finally got around to sharing pictures of my great-nephew Kanoa. He was born late last August and he is so cute that I wanted to keep all his pictures to myself. But I can’t keep all the cuteness to myself. What is the old saying, “Cuteness held is the… Read More »Free One

On Christmas Day, my family was sitting around Carla and Jason’s basement digesting a delicious meal, letting DIE HARD play in the background, playing pool, and discussing one of Amanda’s latest real estate projects.

There are a metric buttload of pictures in the folder 2009-07-23. Strangely, most of them were actually taken in December of 2008. I’m not entirely sure what was going on there. I can just state that my organizational system back then wasn’t rock solid like it is now. Mostly because… Read More »2009-07-23

But make sure you let everybody know that I invented gratitude. I am thankful for my family, no matter how family is defined:… Read More »Gratitudo
Running just a tad bit behind schedule today. As I am on vacation and my motivation levels might not be what they normally are.

The pictures in the folder 2009-05-10 are from a Mother’s Day Celebration. I think it is the first family celebration I hosted at my current abode. Might have been one of the last. I don’t know that I will ever host one again because my house is on the smaller… Read More »2009-05-10

Seems like a good time to share my favorite pictures from THE SELFIE PROJECT from April.

The pictures in the folder 07-20-08/State Tournament are from when Elainie played in the Little League State Tournament in Albia. Looking through the pictures, I had forgotten that Dawn’s daughter Debra also played on that team. It might be where we rekindled our friendship. Or maybe our friendship began. I’m… Read More »07-20-08/State Tournament
