Happy Birthday, Dear

Today is my dear wife’s birthday.  And I am so impressed with the wonderful gift that I got for her, that I want to toot my own horn for a minute on this site.
Having made the decision to have a fairly large family.  At least, large by today’s standards.  We have to cut costs where [...]

Unintended Consequences

I met with a couple of legislators this past week.  And when one of them was asked why are we having to wait in long lines to get our driver’s licenses renewed, the response was it’s an “unintended consequence” of the bill that we passed.
To be completely honest, he seemed more interested in excusing their [...]

New Years Resolutions

If you know me you know that I hate making new years resolutions.  Why?  Because they are always broken.  I hate make resolutions so much, I start my either early or late.
I started my weight loss resolution back in September.  I have lost 20 lbs.  Just 10 more to go, but I have been working [...]

Coyote Gulch

A year ago you might remember my post about a trip that I made to Paranuweap Canyon.  Well, I made a similar trip again this year, but this time to Coyote Gulch.  We also added one more person to our group.
On May 15th, I headed down to the Grand Staircase Escalante National Monument with the [...]

Another Move

Okay, in the time that I have been blogging, I have had four different sites.  First, I started at Writers on the Loose (WOTL).  WOTL is a great group of people, and there are several writers there who are worth reading.  While my stay was only short at WOTL, it helped me to learn that [...]

Sandy's Blog

Well, after following my blog for years, my dear wife has finally given into the addiction called blogging.  She followed my ill-advised advice, and used Wordpress.  After a brief training session, she finally has a new post.  It is the talk she offered at her grand father’s funeral.
So, please take a minute to check it [...]

SODO: Cheesy Chicken and Rice

Well, as thouse who follow my twitter account already know, I have put the dutcho ovens away for the year.  However, shortly after I put them away, I pulled them out again.  Last Wednesday my daughter’s school held Parent Teacher Conference.  And to show our teacher appreciation for the extra long hours, our School Parent’s [...]

The Camp of Hikes

Last week our family took our new-to-us tent trailer camping at Spruces Campground. While it wasn’t my first choice for campsites, it really was a good trip.
We ended up leaving on Monday afternoon about 3:30pm. That was a lot later than I had originally planned, but I could get myself moving on Saturday [...]

SODO: The Late Independence Day Dinner

Like the dinner this post is a little late.
I had to work on Independence Day. Yep, I get July 5 off every year. However, the 4th is always a work day at my company.
But having to work wasn’t going to take away from my celebration. We were planning to do a Dutch [...]

Welcome Home PandaMae

Last year I went with my oldest daughter to Girl’s Camp.  Back then I thought it was for her.  I felt that it would make it easier for her to be away from the family for a whole week.
Let me explain, in the LDS Church many there is an organization for the teenage girls.  It [...]
