No, I am not making a roll call. I’m just trying to test myself how many of my daughter’s classmates I know by their names.
For me, it is very important that I know […]

Baking up Easter memories…

by Louie Tacker - As Easter is fast approaching, I sit back and my mind fills with thoughts of childhood.
Being raised Roman Catholic I realize that Easter is the most holy of all the Catholic Holy days. After all it is the culmination of Jesus’ life, the whole point of His being on this earth. […]

Summer project

Since the nature of my work (editor of a local newspaper) requires me to stay most of the time in front of the computer, I spend most hours of the day in my home office. Well, this is a win-win situation for me as I am able to do my job while at the same time move […]

‘Internetting’

by Louie Tacker Recently I have been contributing to this site and I have been reflecting how wonderful it is that just with the click of a few buttons I can be read half way around the world.

Favorite child?

Yesterday, I got my daughter a new bed. She has been urging me and her dad for a new one these past months.
As soon as it was delivered to our home, I made the bed at once, put on the cover, fluffed the pillows and stretched out on it to test its comfort. Umm…really cozy…
When my son […]
