The Treehouse Saga Continues…

Thought I forgot about this one didn’t you? Well, not only did I NOT FORGET, my father-n-law (Bob the Builder) and I are trying desperately to get the roof on by tonight so that my son, Nathan can have a sleep-over with four of his friends. It’s supposed to be in the low 40’s tonight! He […]

“I’ll Be Back.”

Tonight my 11 year old son was telling me about some creepy, ‘R’ rated horror movie a couple kids in his class had seen. I was flabbergasted. How is it parents can let kids (one of these guys is still 10!) see junk like that? Especially when these kids go to a Christian school!!! He […]

Learn From MY Mistakes

Some mistakes can be pretty costly in life—from boneheaded ideas to just plain ‘human error.’ A few come to mind:   Hey, let’s make mortgages available for absolutely anyone.
