Dave

At the end of the summer Dave surprised me with news that he thought he might go back to school to get a Masters degree in Global Management. It is a program through Thunderbird that he had done some research on and was getting kind of excited about. I’m sure…

Yesterday we celebrated fifty years of this guy. How amazing is that? Fifty years for crying out loud! And I’m putting this post in late tonight just because this guy, true to form, doesn’t want to be the center of attention. But I do have to put at least something…

Yes, old news but I’m going to give a valiant effort to catch up around here, and get better at writing my thoughts down. Somehow writing down all those thoughts helps me conceptualize them better in my brain and in my heart. But for now, let’s talk about Father’s Day…

I’m going back to pre-corona for a minute here, because gosh, there’s still a whole lot to document from “B.C.” And right up there on that list is pickleball. Ha! But really, Dave is so in love with this game. Such a good outlet for him. Such good friends to…

…of total bliss. HA! Those twenty-one years have been filled to the brim with so many things.  Bliss, yes.  But heartache too.  For each other, for others, for our kids, for things we can’t change.  Fights and door-slamming and deep, wonderful heartfelt talks delving into each other’s hearts all mixed…

This is supposed to be the Valentine’s edition, but I was too busy soaking up my valentines this weekend I never got to post this…. Here we go. I remember sitting in the back seat of our family car on a long road trip when my Dad launched into the…

Dave had a birthday at the very tail-end of November. We got to celebrate with Max in town which made it extra great. We had our traditional birthday breakfast… …with gifts and hugs. He was awarded a special medal from Claire… Because let’s face it, he is the #1 Dad…
