Before I do anything else today, I want to congratulate our granddaughter Destiny on another achievement. As I’ve shared with you before, while attending her last year of high school, Destiny was also attending cosmetology classes at Northland Pioneer College here in Show Low. She graduated from both in the same week, and yesterday she […]
The last two days have been very busy. On Monday I went over to our son Travis’ house to pick up my Kubota tractor and flatbed trailer. I left them with him while we were out of town on our trip to Arizona and Travis was able to get quite a bit of land cleared […]
It rained all of Monday night and most of yesterday, and we have pools of water in our backyard. But that didn’t keep us from getting a lot accomplished. At 9:30 yesterday morning, I got a call from Jay, the delivery driver from Thompson Gas, saying he was headed our way to deliver propane. He […]

After going to the Preston Law Firm in New Smyrna Beach to pick up the binder with all of the documents for our family trust, Terry and I went to Ruthy’s Kozy Kitchen for brunch. This is one of those local places that the tourists never find, and locals like it that way. Nothing fancy […]
Yesterday afternoon Terry and I had to have an uncomfortable video conversation with my son, daughter, and daughter-in-law. But it was necessary and one that every family should be having. While there are no life-threatening physical issues with either one of us, we both will turn 69 this year, and we are not foolish enough […]
