  • Here In Cardinal Nation …

    Four baseball fans-a Yankees fan, a Red Sox fan, a Mets fan, and a Cardinals fan – are climbing a mountain and arguing about who loves his team more.

  • Daddy, has Fulda made it up to the clouds yet?

    Yesterday we said goodbye to Fulda. It seems his 12-year-old kidneys just couldn’t do it anymore, so I took him in to put him to sleep yesterday morning.

About Me

I started this site so my mom could get news about her grandkids without me having to walk her through the process of trying to open and email attachment several times a week.  Since then she has passed away and I’ve fallen off the blog wagon, but I’m inspired to pick it up again now.
