Alternative Meals


Thanksgiving is nearly upon us, and in some homes that means more than just the traditional items we all love. Every family has it’s members, usually the younger ones, who refuse to eat what everyone else is eating. They may eat anything and everything all year round, but soon as there is a family gathering, they only like dinner rolls, peanut butter and jelly and chicken nuggets. These were the alternative meal items available at our grandmothers house if you did not want what everyone else was having. You were also welcome to a cheese sandwich, but it was not going to be grilled.

Somebody mixed my medicine

Used Parts


For the past week, we have been driving our son to and from work every day, why he waits for the mechanic to get the rim for his car in, as he cracked one. This is a 45 minute drive each way, so us driving him is essentially 4 hours a day in the car.

This ordeal lead to a conversation with our grandfather about how he remembered when there was a time you could walk into any junkyard and pick up a used rim for no more than $10, and nearly all car rims were the same ‘standard size’ and easily swapped out from model to model, and often even brand to brand. It sure does not work that way these days, even windshield wipers come in so many different combinations of size that nearly every model requires it’s own specific wipers.

Hopefully the part comes in on some time today and our kiddo can go back to driving himself !

Slippery When Wet


It is hard to think that the Bon Jovi album Slippery When Wet was released in 1986. We were just 11 years old, but the songs on that album were the foundation of our tween and early teen years.

You Give Love a Bad Name
Livin’ on a Prayer
Wanted Dead Or Alive
Never Say Goodbye

Just a few of the songs from that album, and so many memories !
