Stories of Hope

   For the last two weeks, I have been picking up passengers from the Idaho Falls airport and taking them to Jackson. There is a famous artist working on a project in Jackson, and the passengers we are taking have been family, friends, or part of his crew. I can’t identify the name of the…

This week’s story is about an idea I had for promoting the Crusade Against Cancer fundraiser on June 9. (If you haven’t signed up, there is still time to register today and be eligible for one of the many free door prizes we will be giving away!)    Since the event has a Superhero theme,…

I want to start by wishing all the Mother’s out there a very Happy Mother’s Day. I officially grant you the permission to be pampered and spoiled by your family today!    I want to wish my Mother-In-Law Berna Deane a Happy Mother’s Day and let her know how grateful I am to have her…

This week’s story was previously posted last year.

I want to thank Lisa Anderson for giving me this incredible opportunity. I talked to the Idaho Falls staff on Wednesday, and the Rexburg…

Question: How do you know the end of the world is almost upon us? Answer: When someone has created and actually sells Peeps flavored beer. I mean seriously, what’s next? Cotton candy whiskey? This is what will bring the zombie apocalypse I’m posotive.    Okay, before I get in to the Easter part of the…

I want to share some of the other adventures I had along my trip driving the ambulance back from Chicago. I accepted the fact it would be a long, boring trip. But, thankfully it wasn’t.    My girlfriend Kristi went to a lot of work to make it enjoyable and exciting. She put together a…
