Asa is too polite to ever bring this up, but there’s something I need to get off my chest about his birthday. Specifically the gift Dad gave him. For those of you new to Living with a Golden, Dad has a long track record of giving Mom practical gifts. There was the time he accidentally […]
Have I mentioned we still have a bit of a learning curve when it comes to beekeeping? Case in point: When being pursued by angry Honey Bees, do not seek shelter in the basement, because they will follow you.

For those of you who have been following us for awhile, you know that Dad has a habit of giving Mom boring and practical gifts.

Ssshh, I’m hiding from Mom as she gets our ridiculous Halloween costumes ready for a weekend filled with embarassing photos, culminating in being publicly humiliated at the Portsmouth Halloween Parade!
