You Didn’t Put Gas in the Car?
Last week we hosted a trip up to Yosemite for some friends who had relocated here from Tenessee. We had planned the trip for a few weeks and all things were in order…sunscreen, hats, hiking shoes, light jackets, some refreshing drinks for the road…and, well, we should have had a full tank of gas… …you [...]
Bonding under a lightning-filled sky
Last night, Katie and I were at a blues concert at a local farmers market. Just as the evening's performance was wrapping up, I noticed an awesome lightning display beginning to light up the sky to the east. It had been a hot day, reaching 102. Rain isn't that common between May and September in [...]
Farmers’ Market at the Fulton Mall
It's almost summer in wonderful Fresno town; time to get out and see all the cool things our area has to offer! I took Aidan/5 down to the Farmer's Market at the Fulton Mall, and stocked up on all the items needed to get this happy season off right. It was a little hairy finding [...]
“Rock Band” family therapy
I met Debbie Hunsaker this morning, president of Alert-O-Lite, and she dropped a little advice for people who need to pull the family together — or even their marriages. Rock Band.

Boyle, toil and trouble
There's no more "American Idol" to obsess over (or kick around) this week, but you can always try to substitute the drama of the Susan Boyle phenomenon. Catch what The Bee's Donald Munro has to say.
Little Fish
"Mooooom, when are you coming my swimmin' lessons? I swimmed and swimmed and jumped and everything today!" Huff of breath and the sound of a hand smacking a little knee. "Meee too, me TOO! I wimming and wimming and I jump high sky (hands fling out and a head angles forward – all the jumping action [...]
Six Year Old Vehicle Driver?…
…and thank goodness he did! A six year-old Nebraska boy is a hero. His dad passed out from a low blood sugar episode and the little guy avoided a crash by taking over. He and his 3 year-old brother were in the back seat when his father slumped over on the way home from eating at a [...]
Help out this mom with a mission
Joan Nelson of Selma is a Mom on a mission. I met her last week. What a blessing! She's planned a terrific way to honor her late son, Nic, who died of leukemia, at age 20. She is raising money for the Central California Blood Center by organizing a two-day fundraiser Friday and Saturday, May 29 and 30. On Friday, a whole [...]
