  • Maddie – Guitar Goddess

    From my Guitar Hero collection:Anna’s daughter Maddie rockin’ out! (Blame her momma for the blurry picture.)(There’s a great video with the whole family – Anna & Maddie on guitar with 3 year old Nathan on drums, but I have to have the “go” from Anna to post and I’m thinking I’m not getting the “go”.…

  • The Top Ten

    Dad and I were recently joking about one of those serious family matters – the ones that are easier to take with a smile because otherwise it’s too serious and a tad too painful. Dad suggested I turn it into a story for my blah-g, which made us cackle a bit, because again it’s one…
