Today I wanted to do a Random Act of Kindness for Father's Day in memory of my Grandpa Tirrell. Unlike many of my friends who grew up with grandparents right down the road, I have limited memories with my grandpa as he lived several states away in Massachusetts.

Today we celebrated the "dog days of summer" with a visit to our local amusement park, Busch Gardens. It's always a little tricky to find a summer fun activity that appeals to the vast ages of all my kiddos (ages 14, 9, and 3 respectively).

Last night, my team and I went out to dinner before presenting an an out-of-state conference. After driving for over five hours, we were starving! We had a very large group joining us (22 people in all!) so we had low expectations for efficient service. (When was the last time you went out to dinner… Continue reading Random Act of Kindness #25
Random Act of Kindness #9
Today I ate lunch at a local fast food restaurant. Hoping for a "quick bite to eat" I was instantly dismayed when I opened the door to the restaurant and saw the line snaking back and forth, three rows deep. REALLY? I thought fast food was supposed to be FAST! As I pondered the irony, I… Continue reading Random Act of Kindness #9
