Project 366: Day 18

Today is my neighbor’s birthday. She has three kids – a boy and two girls. Our kids play together just about every day. Having kids next door is a fantastic thing. But honestly, having a neighbor like my neighbor is priceless. She is a wonderful friend.

This past weekend, while her son was playing with my boys, I looked outside the door and saw his shoes. The way he left his shoes made it look like a ghost was just outside our door.

Nah, that’s not a ghost. That’s an open door policy between friends and neighbors. Thanks for being a great friend and neighbor, Noreen. Happy birthday! Continue reading “Project 366: Day 18”

Pre-kids, Rob and I went to Wal-Mart and bought two cool little gadgets that hooked to the television and allowed us to travel back in time. We traveled to time when arcades were filled with games like Pong, Dig-dug, Adventure, Rally X, Breakout, etc.

Project 366: Day 15

Sundays are my sabbath, as I mentioned last week. I think everyone should set aside time to give thanks and notice the good in his/her life.

Friday morning, I woke up and walked into the living room. I found my youngest son snuggled in his fort. I smiled. This kid knows the value of a happy place – a comfortable place – a quiet place.

I hope you find your own place today. Happy Sunday! Continue reading “Project 366: Day 15”
