Here’s the story Of a man named Brady… Sorry, I had to do it LOL. We are in Branson, Missouri this week – home of many small theater shows. When we first arrived in Branson, we got the show schedule and looked through it. I immediately knew that the 70’s Music Celebration starring Barry…
We love to meet new people. Just yesterday I had a most interesting hour-long chat with some guy in the laundry room all about buying and selling stocks – something that Jim and I have talked about learning how to do for quite some time. This guy (I didn’t even catch his name) had some…

Our motorhome came with 4 golf cart batteries and a 2000 watt inverter that can run nearly everything, for a while. To charge those batteries, we can use our generator, but wouldn’t it be nice not…
Eleven years ago, My lil Brian announced “I wanna join Cub Scouts.” Our 2 older boys had both been in scouting, it’s a quality organization, we signed him right up. Brian liked Cub Scouts, and before long, he was announcing to anyone who would listen “When I get big, I am going to be an…
