Anyone else remember Weebles? Yeah, they wobble but they don’t fall down. I never had any, but always wanted them. I remember going into Fedco in Panorama City before Christmas back in the 70’s. They had a table out with lots of toys to try out. I was DETERMINED to get a Weeble to fall…

I spent four days being blown away and refreshed at the Celebrate Recovery Summit last week. It was amazing, and I am better today than I was last week before we left. I love pretty much everything about Summit. I love meeting new folks from near and far. I made friends with people from Kenya…

This has been a hectic week. And it's only Monday! Sometimes life just treats you that way. I was held accountable for things that I didn't really do earlier this week and it made people upset. I knew that they were upset, but didn't know why. After a few days of uncomfortable and awkward space…

I am learning that things don't always go as I had planned. Flights arrive late. Things break. Sometimes we read calendars wrong.Today it's the calendar. I had arranged to take a person to a doctors appointment out of town this morning. As I was backing out of the driveway he called to say that there…

There are so many things in a week that I could write about. It seems like every time I experience something someone will ask "is that going to be your blog this week?" The truth is I'm never really sure what will make the blog on a weekly basis. This week I've been all over…

My Favorite Nephew Named Caleb came to California this past week. Having never been out here, I decided that an impromptu road trip to Yosemite was in order. It’s only 6.5 hours each way, so why not, right?!? Add in a 5 hour death march hike to the top of Yosemite Falls and it sounds…

This has been another one of those weeks that has been packed with so many things I have difficulty trying to decide what to refine down to bits and pixels on the blog. July 4th saw our CR group host it’s largest event ever! (Thanks to the folks in Frisbee Knife for bringing the thunder!)…

I’ve got a yard that needs work. A few months ago we decided to take advantage of the “Cash for Grass” program from the local water company. I know, it doesn’t really sound good that the CR Guy is getting “Cash for Grass”, right?!? Anyhow, they will give us money to replace our grass with…

I remember the first time I heard the song “Let’s Go Crazy”. I was listening to the radio on my very first Walkman on Waikiki Beach. I was a dedicated metal head and was decidedly not a fan of this band Prince and the Revolution. Then I heard him cut loose on the guitar solo…

Whaaaaaat?!? I’ll tie it in later. This week I had a lot of fun experiences that made me think “I’ll blog on that this week”. I even told two DIFFERENT people “I’m gonna put this in my blog this week”. Yikes. What do you do when things are going well? This week I saw friends…
