OK, OK! I know folks get tired of hearing me spout out all my nonsense but that is why I have my blog!

Yep, I’m back with another post!
Yesterday was our great day of Thanksgiving! This year however was very unusual. For one, we didn’t have my son at home for Thanksgiving because he is still training for the Marines! He should be home for Christmas though! We also didn’t do the great big family thing. Due to [...]

Hey everyone! I just wanted to drop by and apologize for the inconsistency of my posts lately. I’ve been very busy trying to make arrangements for going to San Diego to pick my son up from Marine boot camp! For the past couple of months I have been surviving by frequenting a message board at [...]

This post is not so much a discovery as it as a reminder for myself. On a visit to my last surviving Aunt on my Spangler side I came across some interesting information.
