It is finished! My shop building is officially completed! To be truthful, it has been mostly completed for some time now, it just needed rain gutters installed on the front side to be “officially” finished and now that has been done. I’m really glad to get those gutters installed so that I don’t have to… Read More »

I was having such a wonderful afternoon last Saturday. Sure the yard needed mowed and it was already covered in leaves, but I have my one series John Deere tractor and my leaf vacuum trailer. Man Toys! As I mowed the yard and vacuumed up those leaves, I was singing along with THE Mr. Keith… Read More »

My Daughter and Son-in-Law were able to buy their first house recently. It is a cute little bungalow in Mentor-On-The-Lake, Ohio. It’s probably not surprising that a young couple would buy a fixer-upper as their first home and this house did need some TLC. The lawn and landscaping had been neglected for some time, the… Read More »

We were walking down a dirt street late one morning, but it was already approaching 90 degrees. The houses on either side of the street consisted of whatever materials could be found to form some sort of shell. Old pallets, broken pieces of plywood… even plastic and tarps. Such is life for many people who… Read More »

I was thinking this week about Jesus and storms. In Mark 4 Jesus is asleep in a boat while his disciples sail it across a lake at night. When a violent storm arose, Jesus’ followers attempted to manage the situation alone, at first, but when the situation became dire they woke him up and asked… Read More »

Home ownership… it is a blessing and a curse, isn’t it? I am grateful that God has blessed me where I can own my home, however; when you own a home — you have to maintain a home. It seems like the work never ends sometimes. How about those home projects that you know you… Read More »

In Luke 17 Jesus was traveling to Jerusalem… He was actually on the road to the cross. It’s not too radical of a leap of faith to assume that He knew His earthy ministry was coming to a close. Even though Jesus was fully God, did the humanity in Him feel a sense of urgency… Read More »

Last week I cleaned out my shop. Man, did it need it! The last time it was cleaned thoroughly was last fall, and three seasons of winter, spring and summer’s worth of projects had left it deep in sawdust and cluttered. The final straw for me was the spiders. Three days in a row I… Read More »

Lauri and I had a date night last Monday and enjoyed a dinner out. We went to a Japanese restaurant for a little Hibachi. Of course, if you have had a Hibachi dinner at a Japanese steak house you know there is nothing “little” about one of those meals. A younger family and an elderly… Read More »

Last week Lauri and I were able to get away for a short camping trip — just two nights — but it was good to have a bit of down-time and relax. We camped at Punderson State Park which is located close to Chardon, Ohio. Punderson is a very nice campground with many activities and… Read More »
