Anna's Tale Relationships are a lot of work. Things don't always go smoothly and there are always bumps on the proverbial road. Life happens. That's a fact of life. Sometimes, people need to work together in order for things to work, and sometimes things don't work out because of personal demons. A personal demon that can sink a relationship is addiction.

I have written about some books on this site. Most of them have been children's books. Books are great for adults to read with their kids, but what happens when the kids are gone, and you finally have a couple of moments to yourself? Do you want to read another children's book, or are you ready to read something that is geared more towards adults?

Our family has had more adventures with our dog than we care to remember. Some memories involve a trip to the vet . Sometimes Puppy finds something she wasn't supposed to eat in the backyard or she'll help herself to some human food conveniently within her reach. Puppy spends most of her time with Lovie, who has told us the dog is her child. Puppy sleeps in her room. This is fine with Kitty, who tries to avoid puppy and her games of chase and wrestling. Puppy's abundant energy can be a lot for the family. Lucky for us, we have a fenced-in backyard that gives her room to run around. If time permits, I'll take her to a local dog park where she can expend more energy. If she's lucky, there will be other dogs in the park for her to play with. Caring for Pets and Children Shh! Baby's sleeping! There are other children Lovie takes care of. Some of these are actual human children. Our family helps take care of our extended family from time to time. This will include ba...

"Twinkle the Shooting Star" Problems come, as a parent, and problems go. Sometimes a new problem arises as soon as you take care of one, and sometimes it comes when you're in the middle of solving one. Sometimes more than one problem will come at you. You may be able to solve all or both of the problems at the same time, if you're lucky. Problem Solving I have done my best to show my children, and any other child that's been at my house how to solve a problem. My children are at home when Wife and I are both at work, so we're not always able to help them. Sometimes, the children are left on their own and they need to rely on themselves to solve a problem. This can be challenging for some, traumatic for others. Meet Twinkle Lucky for everyone, our children can be resourceful sometimes. I was thinking of this when reading a book that was brought to my attention. Chioma Allen-Nwachukwu's "Twinkle the Shooting Star" tells the story of a girl named J...

September is past the halfway point. The children have returned to school, Wife is still killing it at work, and I continue to bring joy and happiness to the tourists and beer afficionados who want to know a little more about the beverage that brings me joy. After months of lazing about the house during the summer, my little Miracles of Christ have adjusted to the routine of getting up early and making the bus. It's 50-50 that The Oppressed might make the bus, but The Boy has no trouble making it out the door. He and his crew are taking advantage of the nice fall weather and riding their bikes to school every morning. The bus can wait until the winter. Right now, the big boys on campus are rolling into the schoolyard and beginning the day with fresh air and exercise. Boys Riding Bikes The Boy is always coming up with great ideas and looking for ways to improve his life. I don't know who came up with the idea to ride bikes to school, but it wouldn't surprise me if he had a h...
