    No nursing home for me. I’ll be checking into a Holiday Inn!

For a combined long term stay discount and…

  • It’s Time For Some Good Giggles!

    The times that we are presently living seem to be more dark and pessimistic with each passing day. It is easy for us to focus and dwell on the negative events that seem to be happening all around us this past year or so…COVID, masks, the unrest in Washington D.C., etc. One of the beautiful…

    Don’t ever forget this: A father said to his son: You graduated with honors, here is a car that I acquired many years ago … it is several years old. But before I give it to you, take it to the used car lot downtown and tell them I want to sell it and see…

  • Getting Older

    It is funny how a person’s outlook on life changes as they get older…. I changed my car horn to gunshot sounds. People get out of the way much faster now. Gone are the days when girls used to cook like their mothers. Now they drink like their fathers.. I didn’t make it to the…

  • His Journey Has Just Begun

    My father passed away a few years ago and there isn’t a day that goes past that I don’t think of him. I miss the times that we shared together fishing, traveling, camping, laughing, and doing the plethora of other things that I loved to do with him. He was more than a father to…

  • Ants in My Pants

    This is a great illustration as to why some people do not do politics.This was my friend’s article in his church’s newsletter. “Finally, brothers, whatever is true, whatever is honorable, whatever is just, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is commendable, if there is any excellence, if there is anything worthy of praise, think…

  • Free Tickets!!

    Free tickets!! Who wouldn’t want free tickets to a sporting event? An amusement park? A Concert? The following is great “food for thought” for all of us. It was written by a fellow coach. Super Bowl 39 featured a classic first half defensive battle, followed by a second half offensive shootout between the explosive New…

  • The Friday Closer

    As a bagpiper, I play many gigs. Recently I was asked by a funeral director to play at a graveside service for a homeless man. He had no family or friends, so the service was to be at a pauper’s cemetery in the back country. As I was not familiar with the backwoods, I got…
