Did a lot of tinkering with the number of posts on the front page to speed up page load times. Finally I wrote a plugin that shows all posts published in the last seven days on the home page.
Created and published our favorite HNT photo post of the year.

Got California Girl a nice skirt [...]
Today is our 21st wedding anniversary! I am blessed to have met such a magnificent woman. After 26 years, she is as much a part of me as an arm or an internal organ. We generally focus on the present; but today is a good day to reflect on the past. It’s been an amazing [...]
I would like to wish California Girl as well as moms everywhere a happy Mother’s Day.
I just gave California Girl her “for my wife” card. And, as they have done on many occasions, the kids made California Girl a cake and one of their homemade cards. Plus, we wished my mom a happy Mother’s Day [...]

I’ll pay for it with very late nights today and Monday but I took a much needed day off from work on Saturday and took California Girl out to dinner. It seems strange saying that I took a day off on Saturday but I’ve working weekends for so long, I can’t remember when my last [...]
Scroll down to view our Two For Tuesday post.
I’m being pulled in a lot of directions at work so California Girl has had to rearrange her schedule on very short notice numerous times recently in order to get both kids to practice. It’s something that happens to everyone; but, earlier today (Tuesday) as I hung [...]
As I look around blogland, I can’t help but notice how many people are breaking up, getting divorced, etc. Even a few couples whose relationships had withstood the test of time and seemed like they would last forever are going the separate ways. We all plan to be together forever with the people that we [...]
Anyone who is married or living together knows that relationships have their ups and downs and that everything will not be perfect all of the time. Success is measured by what happens in the good times not what happens when things are not so good. For California Girl and me things have been very, very [...]
