I'm circling back to the end of 2019 when I was home for Christmas. Earlier in the year during Thanksgiving my family shot clay pigeons and had so much fun that they decided to do it again on Christmas morning when I was home.

"I am tired." If you've spoken to me at all in the last two months, my bet is that this was said early on in the conversation.

See past posts HERE} 1. Baby Ego Most people who know me personally have heard me refer to Josh "my… Continue reading So There’s That Vol. 21
To our beautiful "lead-butt", attention craving, fetch loving sweetheart and the best dog-cousin a girl could have. Ellie girl, I would argue with anyone that you were the sweetest, most gentle and loyal dog that I ever met and am likely to ever meet. You were a true "family" dog because for so much of… Continue reading Love Letter: Ellie
