For many Memorial Day Weekend signifies the start of summer. However, far too often while enjoying the long weekend, we forget the true reason for the holiday on Monday. Memorial Day is a time to honor those that have given the ultimate sacrifice for our country while serving in the military. In 2000, Congress passed the […]
Well this is awkward. On Friday Asa and I agreed to disagree as to what is the perfect Mother’s Day gift. After reviewing Asa’s not so great ideas, we decided it would be best if we each picked out a gift for Mom. So you can’t begin to imagine our embarrassment when we realized we […]
I tend to stick to my hobbies. However, when Asa joined our family, I felt the need to branch out, and pursue new interests. As I leaf through these old puppy photos, I wish I didn’t log off on one of my old habits, namely my obsession with sticks! When I was a puppy, I […]
Dear Lemmy, today marks the tenth anniversary since you crossed Rainbow Bridge. Yet you’ll always continue to be a big presence in our daily lives. I think I’ve done a good job fulfilling my promise to make sure Asa knows you. In fact, I did such a good job that friends around the world know […]
Yesterday we introduced you to our world traveling Dutch cousin, Mushu! The reason for Mushu’s visit was to help clean out a home that has been in our family for generations.

Asa here. Ssshhh, come closer. I have something to tell you. Last week Chuck Billy mentioned that our posts would be sporadic lately due to out of town “relatives” who are visiting. What he neglected to mention was just how out of town they traveled in order to see the total eclipse that is now […]
Let’s face it, nothing in life is guaranteed forever. This includes social media. Yet each day we share everything from our highs to lows, to just the minutia of daily life. However, have you ever thought about what if access to it goes away? Some may say they have everything backed up on The Cloud, […]
There will be another empty seat at our table this Thanksgiving. Our Great Uncle has gone on to be with Grandpa and Great Grammy. We are trying to take comfort that after years of being apart from his dear mother, our Great Uncle will be with her in time for Thanksgiving. After all, Thanksgiving was […]
Is our Christmas tree up? Yes. Yes, it is. Was it decorated on Veterans Day? Yes. Yes, it was. Did we break our own rule of no Christmas decorations until after Thanksgiving? Yes. Yes, we did! But we can explain! It has been an uncertain year for us, to say the least. If my family […]
