Savannah’s Birthday

Tomorrow is Savannah’s 9th birthday. She is excited and been planning all sorts of stuff for her Birthday. This weekend, I allowed her to plan the menu for Sunday to count for her Birthday dinner. Boy, she went to town and planned a 5 course dinner. For an appetizer, she had me make her Scampi […]

What’s Wrong With This Picture?

I always knew we were screwed up here in Mr Papa’s World. Just look at the activities around the homestead today… Suzanne made a trip to Home Depot this morning to get some hardware supplies for the decorating project in Savannah’s room. She wanted her room redone as her Birthday present. Meanwhile, Mr Papa was […]

Genealogy Thoughts

A distant relative of mine, John Butler, recently contacted me after finding my genealogy research here at Mr Papa’s World. During the holidays, he sent me a big packet of his genealogy research including a bunch of pictures that included some of Suzanne’s Great-Grandfather. Today, I had the first opportunity to take a look at […]

Heart Saver CT Scan

During my recent holiday vacation, I took the opportunity to visit the Tucson Heart Hospital and get a Heart Saver CT Scan.

Her parents sprang for almost all of the expenses of the trip. It […]
