Hand-Drawn Portraits of My Family

When your 13-year old niece is already an amazing sketch artist, new things are being added to her drawing portfolio all the time.

Some of you have seen photos of me and/or my dogs, but these hand-drawn images are instantly my favorite.

I am not the cutest guy ever and my niece captured it perfectly…

But the dogs. Wow. I mean, have you seen cuter hound dogs in your entire life?

I love being an uncle. Thanks for stopping by!

Stress/Free Mattress

I intentionally tricked you with that title! The mattress in this case is not stress-free, but it is free. I suppose the stress was free also. I won’t get into the issues of what’s causing my stress, but I did want to share what is going on with a mattress.

I’ve been using Facebook marketplace quite a bit in the last couple of months. One thing I didn’t expect was how many responses I would get from listing a mattress for free

I suppose we are all conditioned to immediately say yes when something is free.

Even with some stress with a separate situation, at least getting rid of a mattress was mostly stress… free.

Favorite American Idol performances

This post is quite random but I found Buddy Holly’s song “It Doesn’t Matter Anymore” and it reminded me of my top favorite American Idol performance in the show’s history. From that, I figured why not do a top 3, you know? So here are my top 3 favorite live performances from the show… 

3. “Hello” – David Cook. I wasn’t very familiar with this song before David performed it this particular night. The music is more modern and I just love the use of the electric guitar. I’m sure Lionel Richie wasn’t sad about it.

2. “Ring of Fire” – Adam Lambert. Haunting. A little different. Adam’s vibrato along with a crazy falsetto… incredible.

1. “Doesn’t Matter Anymore” – Jessica Sanchez, DeAndre Brackensick, Candice Glover. This is easily my top favorite. Between these three, there is some power – DeAndre reaching top 5, Jessica winning this season, and Candace willing the following season. Such a great performance from each of them in this trio.

Are any of these your favorites? If not, share yours in the comments below. Thanks for stopping by!
