Trena and I were sitting at a restaurant recently and talking about what we did last April. We both could not remember. I had the great idea to look on my phone at this blog. Its is organized by month and year. A couple of clicks and I was able to read a blog entry from last April. I have come the realize that this is a great resource for what is going on...
New Years is approaching. The days between Christmas and New Years Eve are so interesting. I lay around, play with my new goods…. Eat bad food, watch too many movies and bowl games… What are you supposed to do during these days? One of my many traditions is to read a great email from my father on the days the follow Christmas. Dad started emailing about the song, “Auld Lang Syne”. He is a...
65 years ago yesterday. Christmas Day… Jimmy Buffett was born. A Christmas doesn’t go by when I don’t hear the Christmas CD by Buffett going in my wife’s SUV. She absolutely loves Buffett. Run, Run Rodulf… Jimmy hasn’t had a hit record in 20 years and he is worth over 400 million. Think about that. This guy is a marketing genius. Great little article on Jimmy here. Following family tradition since 1985 and meeting...
February 14… Fun day if you have someone who loves you. I bet its a bear if your alone. I honestly can’t really remember Valentines day before my wife Trena. I think I just brushed it off and treated it as any other day. I realize that I am a lucky man. I not only have a beautiful wife but I also have two wonderful little girls! Traditional, a marketing suck, a day created...
I started following Alicia Silverstone and her blog. Not sure why. Maybe I like being a cyber stalker? Anyways, her movie Clueless was on the tv a couple days ago and I was talking to Trena about her. Basically asking, “where has she been?” Well… that day we hit Redbox and got some movie that was just released with Emma Roberts and a slacker dude from August Rush. Alicia Silverstone was a teacher in...
Trena and I wrestle with family traditions often. I have never really stopped to count the number of traditions that we follow but I would be willing to bet you Brooke or Becca could count them in a heartbeat. One thing that we have successfully instilled into our children is the fact family comes first. I heard a line in a movie today from, We Bought a Zoo… “I am the end of the...
Later I’ll post an update about the great 4th of July celebrations we celebrated but I just couldn’t wait to upload this picture for a few family members that were cracking up with me last night. We staked out this great spot to set up our golf cart and chairs to watch the laser light show… Nobody was infront of us and we could see all down the fairway of the 18th hole to...
I don’t think we have had a good rain in over 6 months here in Houston. It has been 100 degrees consistently for the past month. Even our nights are hot; hovering around 82. When will this end? We often joke that we may need a hurricane to stop this drought. There area wild fire all across the state and area. My water bill is close to $200 each month. I have been known...
Big plans are made for changing… We started this weekend with the following plans: Friday – Birthday Dinner in Conroe for Brooke Saturday – Visit with San San Sunday – BBQ at Blake’s house. Fun time for drinking, cooking, and swimming Monday – Taking to boat out with just Trena, Becs, and Brooke. All day planned for tubing, swimming, etc… Well – Brooke woke up Sunday morning with a 101.4 temperature. Scratch plans. What...
What a fabulous day. Woke up late… Trena and the girls were lounging on the couch enjoying their morning with nothing to do!! Becs went and brought Trena’s surprise Mother’s Day Present in. A Peach tree!! Trena wanted a new fruit tree for the back yard. I did the grocery shopping along qwith Brooke. You should never send me to the store. I actually spent twice what we agreed to! Baby back ribs… To...
