As many of my readers know, I have a large family. There are eight of us (my wife and I and 6 children). Finding a vehicle that will haul all of us together isn’t too difficult, but they are expensive. We’ve been looking since 2006 and have narrowed our choices [...]

I went Christmas shopping yesterday for my wife. I had a list of items she had pointed out to me over the past few months or so that I had written down along with a few ideas of my own. She loves photography and I wanted to get her something for [...]

Seems it’s that time again, time to hear that familiar ringing each time you walk towards the entrance of a large store. The Salvation Army is just one of the many charitable donation requests we’ll begin to receive as the holiday season approaches.
