My wife know how to pick my birthday gift

Ready to celebrate in style. My dear wife Karen and I finished purchasing a couple bottles of Cab Sav for me plus a bottle for her to bring to Georgia’s for a cookie exchange afternoon when the clerk pointed to a carton at the end of the counter and exclaimed, <em>That’s your’s, too.</em> Wrong, said…

Many basket prizes

A ticket in each bag … One way to help support the Baldwinsville Riptides baseball program at the pub crawl fundraiser was to purchase tickets for a chance to win the donated prize baskets. My dear wife Karen and I, and terrific daughter Elisabeth and George each went for the arm’s length for $20. We…

Tasty grub

Happy, I’d say.

It’s all relative for us in Hot Springs

The new store. My dear wife Karen set us up with a cool trip to Hot Springs, Ark. She’d gone solo two years back for niece Kimi’s wedding to Kevin, but I was still too shy to fly because of Covid. This time around, I was over all that at eager to see my sisters-in-law,…
