Even though it was almost a month after our actual wedding date(6/17), Ann and I vowed that we were going to renew our wedding vows this year. Yesterday morning, we finally put our words into action by renewing our vows at our church without any problems at all. After all, we had reached a pretty […]
I feel like the luckiest man on earth writing this, with today marking what has been the best 20 years of marriage to the most incredible woman a man could ever ask for in someone like my wife, Ann. As a way to celebrate our super achievement, Ann, our son Eric and I decided […]
On Saturday night, Ann and I enjoyed another of Erics’ shows- A Chorus Line- and as usual it was great. Eric was super too. Playing the part of Greg,Eric sang when he had to but, in my opinion, it was how well he portrayed his character, a 32-year old homosexual man. As Greg, Eric brought […]
Ann and I discussed spending more time together earlier this week. Saturday night we went to The Jameson Pub in Watertown, where the band, Stiletto, who played a nice selection of Fleetwood Mac classics including Don’t Stop, Go Your Own Way, Hold Me and many more. For me, it was the fact that the Jameson […]
And it’s all because of Ann. We had some major repairs completed in our bathroom due to the floor sinking in causing the toilet to not be level which caused leaking. The men working are in the latter stage of finishing their work by taking out the sink, totally removing the bathtub and installing a […]
The Christmas holiday at the Canfield house was an interesting one for reasons that I never thought that a Christmas ever could be. First of all, a couple days before Christmas Day, our son Eric, in an effort to slice up some some sweet potatoes, nearly added the very tip of his right pinky to […]
That was where Ann and I were this past Saturday night around six rows from the ice, watching the Hartford Wolf Pack battle the Grand Rapids Griffins at the XL Center. Now, I must say it was a blast to see Ann being a sports fan for a night this one time, cheering on the […]
Even though this trip included some early-morning traveling, it was much easier(for me anyway) to wake up because we were going to see our son, Eric, for Thanksgiving. It probably also had to do with the fact that I wasn’t driving. Even so, I stayed awake for Ann the entire time and we had a […]
A couple of nights ago, I met up with six old friends of mine for a good old-fashioned reunion. We met in Torrington, at the Berkshire Cafe. There were only two of these guys that I had seen fairly recently, Sean and Bouch, so it was great to see how and what everyone else was […]
The man I’m talking about is our (Ann and I’s son), Eric, who recently sent us a copy of the play, titled Halloween Special, that he wrote on his own and twice presented earlier this week to interested students at a theater that was available on campus. Now, I’ve got to be honest: I had […]
When we took off for San Antonio early last week, the goal was for Ann to attend and enjoy her biblical 2-day conference,To Teach and Preach the Bible which was also in San Antonio and for us to stay at my good friend Sean’s house for a few days to help us save money for […]
Every time that I text our son Eric, I make it a point to ask how all things in his life are going, sometimes from the condition of his car to the progress and/or success of the courses that he is taking. Now, as a college sophomore with a full schedule, I know that he […]
On Saturday afternoon, my dear wife Ann thought it would be nice to visit somewhere down by the water(ocean) and spend a few hours together. It was a brilliant ideas as we ended up driving down to the Niantic Bay Boardwalk and taking a nice walk-2 miles total- on what looked like a fairly new […]
