Remember as a kid that thrill you got when you found an Easter egg.

I’ve got that feeling again.

I’m so proud of my daughter I can hardly stand it.

Our third born, Mary Elizabeth MacDonald, stopped the other day to treat the wounds of a person injured in a car wreck. It was on Hwy 76 near Metal Masters, and she was the first first-responder on the scene. I am getting this word second-hand, as I wasn’t there, but it comes from a very reliable source.

I was sitting on the couch one day last week reading a book by Carl Hiassen when the woman I live with walked into the room. I stopped reading to look at her. I always do.

It was early, so she was still in her PJs. I noticed she was wearing the t-shirt inside out. As I slowly scanned my way down, I noticed the pajama bottoms she was wearing was also turned inside out. That’s new, I thought to myself.

Kudos to our friends at the Greater Greenville Mental Health Center for tackling the issue of childhood mental health.

A recent open house was a very successful combination of superheroes and brain-health awareness. This description is one of 8 items listed in the most recent SC MHC Newsletter:

Friendship and love.

These words mean a lot of different things to people. In our social media society, neither means much.

It’s official, my family and I are enjoying the Yak Life.

The week of Easter, I purchased kayaks for the family and this past weekend was the maiden voyage, a trip to Boyd’s Mill Pond on both Saturday and Sunday.

It was a family adventure and we didn’t have to leave Laurens County.

We had a blast. My daughter, Lydia, really took to kayaking quickly.

Against my better judgment I did not work the evening of April 25 and the daytime of April 26.

It was not something I had planned, and when I was told I was going to miss work that Thursday night, I was a little annoyed. My faithful, but sometimes managing wife had planned something else.
