Greg and I arrived home from the beach around 4 pm yesterday. It was a fantastic vacation with lots of family bonding time. It was great to spend so much time with my Dad and sister Julie and her family. My niece Rebecca made me a friendship bracelet that I’m still wearing with pride. Macy…

getting close to beach time
This time next week, we’ll be on the road heading for the beach. Emerald Isle, North Carolina to be more exact. Most of my Dad’s side of the family will be converging on the sandy beaches. I’m afraid that the area may not know what’s about to hit it. Dad’s renting a house for our…
what the heckles, mr. speckles?
I haven’t really had much to say lately. Not much has been going on. Lots of work. On my day off Thursday, I ran to the garden center and picked up a couple flats of annuals. Came home and got them in the ground. Yea, for getting something accomplished. Loving the new washing machine. Besides…
birthday girls
We traveled down to Wooster for my nieces birthdays. Macy turned 7 yesterday and Becca turns 10 next Saturday. We had a fun time opening presents, eating pizza and cake and playing wii bowling and a couple of games of tee ball with Macy’s new tee ball stand. A few more pictures below and more…
the cookies are everywhere
It’s that time of year again…the cookies have arrived from the girl scouts. You remember, those cookies you ordered a month or two ago. Those cookies that you planned to freeze, yes, that’s why you bought four boxes of thin mints…to freeze them so you could enjoy them for many more months to come. But…
i heart the following things
and always #1…the Gregster. friends and family. cheese. All kinds of cheese. keane's new album Perfect Symmetry. It's a little different from their last albums, but I'm quite enjoying it.

you are either with us, or you are against us
So maybe I need to be done with this whole Facebook thing. I was reading through some comments today at lunch and found this precious nugget written by a “friend” from my hometown:(side note, I added the (Obama). Everything else, mistakes and all, are her words.) “Well anyone that says he (Obama) has brought us…
and now a message from Edgar…my father
I just got back from the Obama … live and in person….rally at Ed Smith Stadium in Sarasota, Florida where the Cincinnatti Reds spring train and play. I got there a little before 8am and they were scheduled to start to let people in at 9am for the rally beginning at 11. When I got…
there were pumpkins and carving
We had my sister's family over for our annual pumpkin carving extravaganza, wii bowling and football watching….oh, and for walking tacos. How could I forget about the tacos that walk? Becca's slimy pumpkin hands. Macy and her carved pumpkin. She's quite a wii bowler too. Becca and her pumpkin.
psst…I have the next three days off…
That's right after working seven straight days, four of them late shifts, I'm off for a three-day weekend. What's a boy to do with all that time? Here's my plan: Friday is Mike Day. If I want to do nothing, I'll do nothing. It's all up to me. I'm in charge of my own day….
