Yep – Just another blog…and the 'G' is silent.
To say that the week is going according to plan, would not be accurate. It’s only Wednesday, but yet I feel like it should be Saturday already. Heather has her vacation booked for ahead of her maternity leave, which leaves her with only 2 full weeks of work left, which is good. Things are going […]
Continue ReadingAnother productive day working on the dresser in the garage, and things are taking shape nicely. A couple coats of paint are no the drawers now, and I’m hoping Wednesday evening this week will see the drawer fronts get their first coat of stain (the ‘right’ one, this time). The change-table top is also really […]
Continue ReadingGrowing up on a farm, meant I learned and did a lot of things with my hands. Over the years, as life takes hold, I have found that happening less – probably one of the reasons why I have taken to woodworking the past year to two. Today’s projects? Morning: Mix & Pour cement at […]
Continue ReadingI love my wife. Months ago, my wife told me she wanted a dresser in the nursery that she had when she was younger, but it was going to need some work. What that work entailed, was not apparent to me at the time, as I had never really seen said dresser or the exact […]

It was great (I love rain, particularly when I’m half asleep and the bedroom window is open a crack, so I can hear it enough that I fall asleep). Today is Heather’s Baby Shower. We are 74.4% of the way to term, and have 72 days (or […]
Continue ReadingI had been struggling a lot with bringing together a gift for my Dad this Father’s Day, as mentioned in a previous post. I ended up settling on a gift of a letter, from our yet-to-be-born child, which I have included below. Dear Bestefar, We haven’t met yet, but I wanted to write you a […]
Continue ReadingI’m normally pretty good at figuring out what I want to purchase someone for a gift, but I have to say this year I am really struggling to figure out what to get my Dad for Father’s Day. I have absolutely zero ideas that I feel are ‘worthy’. Oh well – time to go give […]
Continue ReadingTime. We only have so much of it available to us, and that amount is (regardless of what we may think) is finite. There is a great movie called ‘In Time’, staring Justin Timberlake, where the premise is time is a commodity that can be bought / sold / traded / shared / stolen. How […]
Continue ReadingDear Baby ‘G’, I wasn’t really sure how to start writing this post. Who knows what will become of this in the end… I am writing this while sitting on Delta Airlines flight DL5766, en route from Vancouver to Salt Lake city – my final destination today is Nashville, TN. This is the third trip […]
Continue ReadingFor the last couple years, I have been trying to get my wife to agree to a purchase of an air conditioning unit for our house, so that we can make use of it to curb the hot summer days when they hit. Each year, she has been completely against doing so. Until recently… A […]
