Elvis Rumored Seen in Nashville Honkey Tonk!

And in related news, we have confirmed reports that Kyle Meadors is actually alive despite months of inactivity both in his blog and his social life. After several unconfirmed rumors of his activity in random parts of the Bellevue area of Nashville, we were able to obtain documented proof of his existence today at the [...]

Sleepy Jedi Princess Ranger

Sleepy Jedi Princess Ranger

We have bin in the playroom for our dress up outfits, and Ava loves to raid it. What is hilarious is that she dresses herself in a variety of garb. This morning, still in her pajamas, she designed this.

Jacob’s Big Month

Not only did my big boy turn 6 this month but he started kindergarten. So far, so good with the Big K. I think his favorite part is riding the bus. I am happy for him. Starting your formal schooling is a rite of passage and being educated is a blessing. Enjoy the pictures from [...]

My Car is Old

My 2000 Toyota Corrola is old. How old. Some years back the steering wheel grip began falling off, the smooth rubber covering deteriating. For a birthday gift, Shannon bought me a new steering wheel cover (she did get me other birthday gifts besides that). I used the cover but eventually that top of the cover, [...]

My Regular 6-Week Post

Since I am averaging a post every 6 weeks or so, I am obligated to write something here. Nothing much has gone on. Just bought a house. Like to see it? If I could find my camera after the move, I would take some pictures and show you. Shannon may have it, but since she [...]

My son is still in his Goddard preschool in Franklin, but they had their “graduation” ceremony last week. It was suprisingly touching. They sang a little song that included lyrics [...]

These Girls are Different

In our past attempts, the body fluid in question very easily makes it way into the toilet. Yesterday, for some reason, it began going in directions other than the toilet. I certainly have [...]

Flood of 2010

The flood of 2010 that ravaged Nashville affected our new home build. The home, in the community of Riverwall on the Harpeth, was a riverside lot on the aforementioned Harpeth River. It was nearly complete, and we were hoping to close by end of May. According to our neighbors, we got about 4 ft of [...]

Mother’s Date and Lucy Kate

Among my busy life and natural disasters, another excuse for not updating my blog is I have been having problems getting my picture album software to work. It is working now, and I hope it will stay that way. My first niece, Lucy Kate Hagerman, came into the world last week on my birthday, May [...]
