Curly Slide Celebration


I remember when my daughter faced the challenge of the curly slide. She celebrated when she made it down on her own.

It’s those little successes that taste so sweet.

Illustration Friday: Missing

The word, “missing,” reminded me how proud I was when I lost my baby teeth.

It was cute to see my kids go through this ritual. Now my daughter needs braces. Brace for financial impact, Mr. Sulu!

Illustration Friday: Poem


Does anybody still serenade? What about a poem on a midsummer’s night?

It has to be a good poem. something that sparks romance, yet is harmless enough so it doesn’t inspire the dad to call the dogs on you.

Ah romance! I think I’ll go read a James Whitcomb Riley poem.

Illustration Friday: Geeky

If laptops were around thirty-five years ago, this probably would have been be. No, not the girl with the laptop, I would have been the boy looking over her shoulder and wishing I could use it.

I lived vicariously through others. Just ask my brother. I convinced him to by the comic books so I could read them.

Illustration Friday: Twist


When I heard of this week’s theme, I thought of a twisty ice cream cone. The next thing I knew, I saw the torch of Lady Liberty. Quite fitting for Independence Day.

It may be a heavily American theme, but that’s what’s on my mind this week. Happy July 4th!
