Fawnzie, the Deer Stalker
Don’t look, but I’m being stalked by a deer! Earlier this summer I introduced you to Fawnzie, my carefree and impulsive, daredevil neighbor. Since that time, periodically throughout the summer Fawnzie could be seen playing with reckless abandon in our yard, walking up the middle of our street in broad daylight without a care in […]
Great Pumpkin, We believe in YOU!
This weekend we are going pumpkin picking. Therefore, today we are taking a stroll down memory lane, or rather, through the pumpkin patch, to the time that Asa and I met the Great Pumpkin in 2019. Asa here. Recently while watching the Halloween classic, “It’s the Great Pumpkin, Charlie Brown,” I made a startling realization. […]

This Post Is on the Level
For years now these rickety old stairs have been a tripping hazard and an eyesore. But let’s face it, Dad has a really long to-do list for projects around the house, and wasn’t going to rise to the challenge of fixing them anytime soon. Therefore, as his little helpers I decided that Chuck Billy and […]

An Old Golden Retriever Laying Next to a Fire
Dear Owen Wilson, While watching the season premier of Saturday Night Live, I was struck by the review you shared. “Owen Wilson’s on-screen persona has all the ambition of an old Golden Retriever laying next to a fire.” In your monologue, you implied that was a negative comment.
