July 4, 2012: Parade & Festival
Marline and Rebecca near the Bell County Courthouse (Copyright © 2012 by Wil C. Fry. All rights reserved.) On the advice of neighbors, we went to the Belton Fourth of July Festival and Parade today.

Long Week
Because of the holiday (July Fourth), this week seemed longer than usual. Marline got a day off in the middle of the week, and so did I (most of the day — we still had to put out a Wednesday paper!) It disrupted the natural flow of the week, convinced our subconscious mind that a[...]

Marline and I went to Seminole’s Fourth of July festival yesterday. In years past, it was just an evening fireworks display. This year, it was a 2 p.m. to 10 p.m. extravaganza. Or at least that’s what they’d planned. But the new city park (Magnolia Lake Park) wasn’t finished yet. The parking lot was disorganized[...]
Fireworks Pix
At Seminole’s annual city display of fireworks, I used my tripod and a slow shutter speed to capture several decent shots of the display. Too bad our newspaper is black-and-white. Here is a color version of one of the pics I got.

Well, my family’s plan to go to Wewoka Lake today was pushed back by the weather. Not long after midnight last night, the thunderclouds rolled in, dropping more than 2 inches of rain overnight, and knocking out the power. When I woke up this morning (at about 9:30 a.m.), it was still raining, and all[...]
Journal: July 2, 2005
This afternoon was full of fast-paced work and brain-crunching. Why? The holiday. You see, at The Producer, the news department always gets Monday off. So, when there’s a Monday holiday, the rest of the office gets an extra day off; we don’t. To make up for that, we try to work extra hard on Friday,[...]

Rebecca did well with potty again today — still working on #2. After an early, short, and surprising nap (she put herself down at 11:50 for just an hour), much of the afternoon was full of fussing and craziness. I got a new debit card today, to replace the old one that was cracking and[...]

- May 14: Ikea & 34 Weeks by Wil C. Fry
A few days ago, we passed what I’ve jokingly called “the Rebecca threshold” with our Benjamin pregnancy. She was born about 7 weeks before her due date. As of May 10, we passed that point in the current pregnancy. My wife’s at 34 weeks as of today, and about nine pounds lighter than she was[...]

- May 12, 2013: Dry All Day by Wil C. Fry
Rebecca woke with a dry diaper this morning and kept her panties dry all day, using her potty correctly all day. We spent the day shifting from (1) us asking if she needed to go to (2) her telling us when she needed to go. And, after three days of holding it, she went #2[...]

Rebecca kept her diaper dry all morning, while MF was at work, and then wore panties the rest of the day, keeping them dry too. She even surprised us by staying dry during a supper trip to Dairy Queen (she had requested an ice cream cone). We put a diaper on her for the trip[...]

Big Milestone: Rebecca is now Three Feet Tall. Not quite tall enough for the WNBA, but on her way. She also crossed the 27-pound threshold for the first time (that we know of; we haven’t weighed her in a while). She’s 2.58 years (31 months) old. Compared to me: My mother didn’t record my height[...]

I woke up early today (because I went to bed on time last night?) and thought that would give me a little more time before RLF awoke. No — her new waking cycle is somehow tied to mine. Perhaps she hears the coffee-maker — I think I’m otherwise very quiet when I get up. She[...]
- A Shelved House Is A Happy House by Wil C. Fry
Houses should come with more shelves, in my opinion. One can never have too many shelves, cupboards, cabinets, closets, and “storage solutions”.
