Going for a Hike

One of the best parts about the night at the lake is that you can go out for a hike.  There is a little nature trail just a short distance from our cabin and it is the perfect place to go see the stars.
Hiking for me used to be a pain until I bought my [...]

Graduation Gift Request

I’ll be the first to say it that my wife has “unique” friends.  Some of them are weird, creepy, and strange, but they don’t have to be my friends, right?
The latest thing that has come about is the request the daughter of her best friend made for a graduation gift.  She wants custom corsets.  I [...]

Congratulations to my Sister

Well, I am happy to report about the phone call I just received this morning – I am an uncle again after my sister gave birth to a little baby girl.  She has wanted a baby for so long, and it is really nice to see her dream coming true.
So, I ordered her some cigars [...]

Getting Ready to Leave for the Weekend

Packing would have to be my least favorite part of getting ready to leave for the weekend, but it must be done.  I suppose there are always steps required to achieve any goal, and getting packed for a trip to the cabin certainly has a number of steps.
Thankfully, there isn’t much left to do except [...]

Sprucing Up the Cabin

One of my favorite places to hang out in the summer is the cabin.  It is our home away from home and it is nice to have a place to go to when you feel like getting away for the weekend.  In fact, we are going in just a few hours (fingers crossed) and I [...]

To Fit in The Dress

One of the things that any bridesmaid fears is being unable to fit in their dress on the big day.  It happened to my sister recently and she needed to find a solution fast.
Though there were few solutions available to her, she was able to find a way to succeed at quick weight loss and [...]

Looking Good at the Beach

One of the promises that I made myself this year was that I was going to look good for the beach this year.  I was really disappointed last year with my pot belly and I thought that I would do things a little different this year.
So, I have been making sure that I fit an [...]

Feeling Sore After Playing with the Kids

One of the things that I like to think of myself is that I am a big kid.  This means that I might not always act my age and today was a good example.
You see, I decided that I I would try the Slip n’ Slide.  Now, I didn’t get to use them a lot [...]

Wonderful Wedding

We had the opportunity today to attend the wedding of one of our oldest friends.  He has been a single parent for the past decade and for him to finally find someone to share his life with is amazing.  The ceremony was wonderful and so was the food.
But what really struck me was the number [...]

Nothing Like Waking Up Itchy

I was really hoping to sleep in today, but it looks like that won’t be happening.  I woke up scratching my eczema that has been bothering me all week.  It isn’t something that I usually suffer from, but I think I know the culprit.
You see, my wife found a great deal on laundry detergent this [...]
