I’m heading to Europe today, Father’s Day.  It’s a Father’s Day like none other I’ve had. I’m traveling with one of my David friends and his wife, Anne.  Ruth and I had agreed to make the same trip with them two summers ago.  We agreed on a Saturday and the following Tuesday Ruth had a …

The golf course reunion was followed by a poker game back near Lake LeAnn. I’m the last original player from a group that started in 1978. We had seven guys back then. They lived on Lake LeAnn or Lake Somerset. At thirty-one, I was one of the youngest players. Maybe the youngest. Over the years …

A couple of weeks before Ruth’s accident we were talking about our two homes, and I offered this question. “We’re lucky.  Our kids and grandkids are all in a good place.  Everyone’s got a good job.  And you and I have two beautiful homes.  We don’t have to, but if we did, which home would …

About fourteen months ago I wrote about my friend, Obadiah Swift’s, Facebook Post.  It featured two pictures of different approaches to overcoming life’s obstacles.  Two men find themselves in a hole.  One man sits in his hole and ponders his fate, while the second digs his way out.  One step at a time.

David and I headed to Addison last Thursday to award our fourth and fifth Tebo Family Scholarships. We made three awards last year and two this year. This year’s awards went to Keisha and Nate.

I stood in front of about 100 people at The Villages Barnes and Noble yesterday.  This is what I said. Those of you who are married, or have ever been married, would you please raise your hand? Take a look around.  Most of us have our hand raised.  Now if you were engaged to someone …

The 2024 MRNA Invitational   The first ever MRNA (Mom, Ruth, Nana, Altogether) Invitational will be held tomorrow on Thursday, April 11th.  This would have been Ruth’s seventy-seventh birthday.  Last year’s event was an Open.  This year’s is an Invitational.  The biggest difference between the two is last year we had two person teams and …

The Villages, Florida promotes itself as Florida’s Friendliest Hometown.  Ruth and I bought our first home here in 2004.  It was a patio villa that we owned for eighteen months.   We bought a ranch home after the villa, sold that after a couple of years, and spend four winters in Palm Springs, California so we …

When I published my book, Pondering Life’s Lessons, back in the fall, it went on sale via Amazon and all other on-line purchasing services through IngramSpark, another online publishing and distribution company.  I’ve sold several books, but most sales have come through people I know.  You won’t find Robert Tebo on the best seller list. …
