The life and times of a happily married couple in Ohio.
As you know, today is the last day for Half Nekkid Thursday. Today is our 330th and final post. California Girl and I have thoroughly enjoyed participating as posters and as followers. We want to give our heartfelt thanks to Osbasso for organizing and running it for almost seven years. That is a monumental achievement. [...]
January Had an occasion to do the Snoopy Dance because of something that happened at work. Took a cool photograph of California Girl with the flowers she received at The Girl’s last senior night. We reviewed the proofs of The Girl’s senior photographs and made our selections. It was a bit discomforting how rapidly her [...]
The Girl had her last club soccer game this weekend. She won’t “officially” be an adult for another month or so; but I feel a lot older than I did last week. In just a few days, she’s graduated high school, got her college identification card, registered for classes this coming fall and found someone [...]
We got home late last night/early this morning back from taking The Boy back to college. He was excited to begin his sophomore year and we plan to visit him before too long; so it really didn’t sink in that he was gone for another school year until we got home to a much emptier [...]
We ended up giving The Boy his birthday presents early this year. We had ordered a 22-inch LCD monitor and a set of powered speakers for his laptop. Unfortunately, the shipment was delivered while California Girl and I were in the pool and the monitor was not packed inside another box. There wasn’t any point [...]
The Boy has gone back to college. It’s hard to believe but his freshman year is almost over. He’s got midterms starting next week and finals in just over a month. It’s crazy. It doesn’t seem that long ago that we were moving him into the dorms. Soon, we will be moving him back home [...]
January The Girl got her learner’s permit and The Boy earned a scholarship to college. It really started to sink in how different things are going to be in a few years months. February Celebrated the three year anniversary of Married In Ohio. The Boy wrestled in his final wrestling meet and perhaps the last [...]
Grades are posted and The Boy did very well in his first semester of college. We were a little bit worried because the first one that was available was his lowest mark; but he got “A”s in all of his other courses including his honors classes. He was a good student in high school but [...]
California Girl and I went to visit The Boy over the long weekend. He’s only been gone for a couple of weeks; but it was still good to see him. He seems to be adjusting well to life on his own. He seemed a lot older and a lot more confident than he was when [...]
We had the last pizza night for The Boy today. This time next week, he’ll be college bound. California Girl and I really didn’t think about it until The Girl mentioned that today would be his last family pizza night for awhile. The current phase is ending and a new chapter is about to begin. [...]
