Today a lady called my dog stupid. That’s poor etiquette. Later she asked what kind of dog he was. I said a stupid one apparently. No, actually I said, “We aren’t sure.

Friends
Hannah and I have a friend. She came down to Portland to visit us this weekend. It was a grand ol’ time. Last night, Hannah and I lay in our bed and talked. We talked for three plus hours.

The Butler Bulldogs and Indianapolis Colts made it to their respective title games and lost in heartwrenching fashion. Spain won the World Cup. The Prince has married a commoner. The ReddensContinue reading “Year In Review”
An Assortment of Goodies
As the title indicates, this post will not have one cohesive thought. I hope you can still enjoy it. A friend of a friend offered his condo to me and Hannah. It is on the beach. We’re heading there tomorrow afternoon and staying for the weekend! Hannah has her first ultrasound on Monday. Crazy! IContinue reading “An Assortment of Goodies”
