    Kodak In Living Color

    I have got to tell you about something that happened this last weekend. So your aunt, The Firecracker was here with her husband, The Investigator and The Little Roar. Well, the Little Roar, she was just obsessed with playing with the dogs. Like she was just crawling all over them and laying on them and…

  • It’s Goodbye Earl

    It’s Goodbye Earl

    I just gotta tell you, your sister can be stone cold scary. The other day I was watching her paint the dining room walls after the refrigerator died (total equipment failure, messy business). Your Ma starts walking through the middle of this war zone when all of a sudden, your sister just stops cold, points…

  • Days On The Clock

    Days On The Clock

    I hear you’ve got 113 days left on the clock. In the world of “Invisible Friends,” that’s just a few chapters left in a very long book. We’re over here at the Author’s desk making sure the world you’re coming back to is just as colorful—and maybe a little more organized—than the one you left.

  • The Story Of How Our Barn Fell Down:The Author’s Journals

    The Story Of How Our Barn Fell Down:The Author’s Journals

    We’ve had quite a new hot topic around here with the Little People the last couple of days. Apparently they are fascinated by the barn, or rather what’s left of it at our new house. The mystery of what happened to it has fueled their imaginations to overflowing. Aided in part by Frank. Sometimes I…

  • Spring, An Open House And A Baby

    Spring, An Open House And A Baby

    Well, I think it’s finally spring. After enough rain to overflow the pool, (amazingly without it straight up collapsing, as it’s getting kind of rough.) the grass has really greened up and begun growing at seemingly warp speed. Much to your Dad’s dismay. He’s been griping for days now that it’s growing ‘out of control’…

  • Frank And Mountain Royalty

    Frank And Mountain Royalty

    I’ve always wanted to see the mountains in person. I just recently learned that my family actually traveled through the Virginia’s way back in the day. Some of them were there so long they even had a town named after them. I would like to go to that town just to see it. Whitmer, West…

  • The Welcoming Soiree & The Goo Goo Muck

    The Welcoming Soiree & The Goo Goo Muck

    Be warned though, I do believe that Frank has volunteered to oversee the musical portion of the evening. From the way he is talking, he already has three different musical lists to choose from, depending on ‘how he feels the night is progressing’. Heaven help us all. He has already mentioned songs like, ‘Born free’,…

  • Are We On…Vacation?!

    Are We On…Vacation?!

    We are… wait for it… on vacation. Dun. Dun. Dun. Amazing. Unbelievable. And for one moment, I am all alone, enjoying my solitude. It’s my one minute of peace. One that is sure to be short lived once Frank gets done exploring the little apartment that we are staying in for this trip.

  • 2000 pounds Down and A Party To Go

    2000 pounds Down and A Party To Go

    It’s been quite the week around here, let me tell you. One that we are still smelling the consequences of days later. But I will let Frank tell you all about that one. You know, he has a rather interesting flair in his stories. I will just tell you this, you will likely be very…

  • The Unfinished Entries

    The Unfinished Entries

    I wonder, over the years, how many of my journal entires actually look relatively complete? I’ve noticed that there have been several entries that have dropped off in the middle of a sentence over the years. It makes me wish that I could go back in time and see what caused so many disruptions….
