Uncomfortable Shopper!

Have you ever been embarrassed to take a purchase to the check out counter in the store you are frequenting. I remember when I was a boy my mom would send me to some items that caused me to be uneasy as I approached the sales clerk with feminine hygiene products, blackhead remover, hemorrhoid cream or such! And it was worse if I happened to know the clerk on duty!

Air Conditioned Cars

I remember the days when I was a boy that auto air conditioning was hardly available, especially for families with small incomes. My dad used to say we could air condition the car by rolling down the windows. I was graduated from high school and away from home when Dad bought his first air-conditioned car. That was many years ago, and I know he will never buy another without air conditioning.

Losing Sleep Over The Olympics

I have really been enjoying the Olympics. And that is a bit surprising to me because in the days leading up to the games, I was indifferent. I don't know if it was the Opening Ceremonies or the compelling feats of Michael Phelps that hooked me, but I have been watching a wide range of events late into the night almost every night!

Long Trip Home

Our friends are coming home today, after having spent the summer in Singapore. Greg is a coach and teacher, with the summers off, so they are able to go to Nyuk Fong’s homeland each year. The trip is always long and hard, but this year may be especially difficult because they now have two little ones. Getting all the carry on luggage and two strollers and two tired boys home will be a tiring challenge. But we are looking forward to their return!

Big Dog Buccaneer!


For many years our schedules were so busy and there were so many times that we were away from home that we decided that having pets was not a good idea. But when our daughter became unable to care for her two boys, four and five at the time, they came to live with us. I have always believed that boys need dogs, and I was already thinking of getting a dog for our grandsons. When Hurricane Rita left so many pets homeless, we rescued a yellow lab, whom we named Buccaneer.

Recently we found the Zootoo website, as we were looking for information about the aging process for yellow labs. We found the site to be a fun place to look for information and meet other people that care about their pets. The site has photo galleries, and videos to entertain and inspire you. There are journals to read and product updates. And on top of all that, your participation helps provide animal food for shelters and rescue centers!

Video Games in Dominica

I began going to the island of Dominica in the Caribbean about twenty five years ago. In those days there were hardly any cars on the island, very few people had televisions and computers were scarce as hen’s teeth. On my recent trip there were many cars, even in the outlying villages. And I found an internet cafĂ© that had a room full of video games. I never thought PS3 would be on Dominica!

Shipping Song Books Overseas

While I was in Dominica a few days ago, I found out that the little church we were helping has only a few song books and all of them are in very poor condition. I have been trying to locate some here from congregations that have extras or that have replaced older editions with new. I want to get them donated so I can save my funds for shipping boxes overseas, which is not cheap to do!
