Some Things Which Touch me About Philadelphia
FOR MY BELOVED GREAT AUNT, MARIE SLINKARD. MARCH 30, 1929 – OCTOBER 12, 2025 WE’LL LOVE YOU FOREVER, WE’LL LIKE YOU FOR ALWAYS, AS LONG AS WE’RE LIVING OUR MARIE YOU’LL BE. YOU HAVE NOT LOST YOUR PLACE IN OUR FAMILY, NOR YOU WILL EVER. DISCLAIMER: This is honestly NOT a post bragging or boasting about how superb Philadelphia, PA is compared to other cities, towns, and additional places. NOTE: To be clear with you, the following post has since been updated after its publication (the Philadelphia Museum of Art was only just named that in 2026). Of course, we […]
What My Community Does for the Poor
FOR FORMER PRESIDENT JAMES EARL “JIMMY” CARTER JR. WE CONGRATULATE YOU ON BEING THE FIRST EVER UNITED STATES PRESIDENT TO LIVE FOR AN ENTIRE CENTURY, AND MAY YOU, YOUR WIFE ROSALYNN, AND ALL YOUR OTHER DECEASED FAMILY MEMBERS ETERNALLY REST IN PEACE. You might have read my “A Spot for the Community” post about The Community Space in my town of Whitewater, which offers stuff like food, clothing, and household items for people simply in need of them. Still, for those of you who haven’t (or would at least like to read it again), this is the link for it: […]
Talkin’ About a Restoration Project
Well, nothing does last forever, right? Yet some things certainly do return to how they previously were. In some cases, they get restored. Before some things do get restored, however, there may be campaigns or fundraisers to make it occur. And if you want to know one that I now is going on in my community right now, this is what it is: one for a couple of tennis courts right on the edge of the field of my former elementary school. In fact, here is a photograph of a sign on the abandoned tennis courts’ metal fence from one […]
Double Dollar Stores
Well, I may have talked about how a Dollar Tree used to be in Whitewater in an older post, but NOW, here is some news…the chain is returning to the community soon enough! That is right, a second Dollar Tree (although not in the same location as the one that used to be in the plaza mall years ago) is being opened soon enough. Where the second Dollar Tree will be is by the Whitewater FortHealth Care Therapy building (the space by there had been an empty grassy field for many years). Anyway, you also remember that Dollar General I […]
A Tribute to the Future Newlyweds…
Well, my older brother Jake and his finance Cynthia have just arrived to our house to visit for nine days this evening! And with that, I figured I am interested in doing a post for them… Remember how a fair while back, I talked about how my other older brother Aidan married Lucy and they now have a daughter named Rita? Well, last December, Jake and Cynthia announced someone rather exciting news: he and Cynthia will become a married couple also! That is right people, both of my brothers will have been married after 2025! On top of that, they […]
Baby’s 1st Christmas Post for Rita
Well, remember that tribute post for my niece Rita that I posted up? Well, this of course is her first ever Winter holiday season, and I especially just decided that I would do this post for her, as well. Lucky first time baby, eh? By the way, before I begin doing saying else, I would just like to congratulate my ever-loving niece for making her first Winter holidays ever! Well, for MY own first Christmas two decades ago, I received a golden Rudolph ornament from my late Aunt Sandy (you may have seen the tribute post for her which I […]
Wanna Know an Eatery That Flies? Here is One…
Well, certainly I have chatted about restaurants in earlier posts, although have you ever dined at one located in an airport? If you have, then perhaps it was one of those larger city ones. However, did you also know that there can be smaller airports (you know, ones that are mainly used by smaller propeller-driven planes) can have such restaurants as well? That is right, and my father and I have eaten at one such smaller airport restaurant a few times. First of all, where is airport simply is? It is southwest of Janesville and north of Beloit in Wisconsin, […]
It’s a Wonderful New Life
Well hey, today is my sister-in-law’s birthday, so at I least can say that to her on that day now, rather than it being early or belated! In addition, her daughter Marguerite (my loving niece), better known as Rita, was born in the Spring of the year this was posted. Her father is also my older brother, Aidan. Rita’s middle name comes from her late great-grandmother’s first name and my late Aunt Sandy’s middle name as well. Also, in November, she managed to say her first ever word: “Hello.” I also recently gave her my old crab rattle for a […]
