Big Bad Gus And The Family Blog

So, the last few months have been a bit trying and I now see the light again and must thank those who have helped!  There are many kinds of friends, but no matter how they fit into your life, they are invaluable.  They fill your life with all kinds of stuff you would just plain miss.  [...]

In less than half an hour it will be aunt Laura’s Birthday!  Happy Birthday to Aunt Laura!  :)   I made some yummy choc chip cookies special for her.  :) We will be visiting with her all day tomorrow.   She had some surgery this week and is recovering nicely at mom and dad’s!   Heal super quick [...]

Meme and Mema were here this week (my mom and grandma).  They left yesterday and we miss them already.  We had a great time just hanging out.  Gus fell in love all over again with Mema….he even let her hold his sacred spatula.   And amazingly, he didn’t cry when she hid it and he could [...]

Yesterday on my way home, I passed a deer crossing sign and there it was.  Pressed on the deer’s nose (on the sign)…a blinking red light.  I always look forward to that blinking red light.  It seems to appear on that on that deer’s nose on that sign every holiday.  This particular sign is on Brodie [...]

 On Thursday we took Gus back to the beach where he could have, once again, shoveled sand all day.  That afternoon we had a wonderful turkey dinner with all the trimmings.  We then had our annual gift exchange where there was much scheming and coniving to get the gift you want!   These days, we are [...]

You guessed it.  We spent Wednesday morning at the Naples Zoo.  We took a little boatride to see the monkeys, saw birds and even saw a big lion pee on a couple of tween girls.   That’s right.   The lion left his perch and took a leisurely stroll over to the fence to give what we [...]

A very eventful day.   Gus had a very fun morning at the sandy beach.  We bought him a shovel and pail…and a REALLY big shovel.   That evening Uncle Tom and Aunt Linda were nice enough to rent us a private catamaran on Marco Island……a beautiful sunset!   It was Gus’ first boat ride!  He did well!!  A fun [...]

Well, I know…It took me long enough.   On Monday,  Gus, Grandma and I went for a walk on the Pier.  We saw many birds and some ’sleeping’ (aka dead or dying) fish.   On the way back up to the house, Gus encountered a game of volleyball.   His fascination with balls took over and stared at [...]

I got my results from my HR Final exam and my final class grade today.   I passed with a 76 average.  It may not sound like flying colors, but it is.   MANY people did not pass the class.  In fact, there were only 3 people in a class of 60+ that had an average over [...]

You hear Robert Earl’s Merry Christmas from the Family on the radio.   Love it!   Also, I feel like every time I go into a retail store of any sort…they are playing Christmas music and it always sounds like Jessica Simpson.   Obviously she has a Christmas CD (because they all do), but was it that popular?    I [...]
