Book Description
Just the day to day ramblings of an old man. Some of it will be some family history and stories, most will be about my family life. I’m the widowed father of three sons, two of which are still at home at this time. I was one of the many on OpenDiary that was orphaned, in my case unknowingly. I hadn’t posted in some weeks and missed the notification, so all my OD entries are gone, floating somewhere inaccessible to me, in cypberspace. Oh well, such is life. I’m hoping I can locate some of my old OD friends here, so if you see me, and remember me, please bookmark me and drop by.
