We’ve put 3 kids through college but this is our first college graduation. The first two graduated during COVID so no graduation for them (GRRR!). Preston is a 2nd-grade teacher in Nashville. Emmaline is an Event Coordinator in Orlando. Due to pent-up celebration anxiety, we went hard for Molly’s graduation from nursing school at the …

Christmas Debacle(s) And An Unplanned 1,400 Mile Drive!
Over Christmas, we celebrated Max’s 21st birthday (several times actually). We barely survived rolling blackouts and some single-digit temperatures (Deano marked himself safe). We survived but the pipe inside our wall didn’t and flooded our kitchen. Then we got to take an unplanned 1,400-mile round trip to Orlando to get Emmaline back home because we …

Thanksgiving At Hogdaddy’s
Games, 4-Wheelers, Cows, Guns, and Golf Carts…Oh My! And good food too but I was too busy stuffing it down my gut to capture any of that.

3 years ago this week I started posting to my website http://www.deanorolls.com I’ve posted 238k words along the way. Today the 5,714th visitor hit the 10,000th page view. I never thought anyone would care to read anything I wrote. I think the lesson I’ve learned is there are a lot of really, really, really, bored …

YouTube Famous – Recognized In The Wild!
The day I created my YouTube channel I told Emily “one day we’ll be walking around and people will recognize us”. She looked at me with a very common look I’ve seen many times over the years we’ve been married. Many, many hair-brained schemes later I know the look very well. It is kind of …
Granny and Pipa – Through Joey’s Eyes
My grandparents were instrumental role models in my life. They put family first at all times. They worked hard and also worked hard at having fun. My grandmother would take hours of video with her VHS camera. Perhaps this is where I got my desire to document my journey. There seemed to be nothing my …
Squirrel Wars – My 3 Year War!
I love being a homeowner?!? I’ll save my rant on that for a later time! I’ve been at war with a squirrel army since we moved into our condo in 2018. They are under the impression that my attic is their home. They are unpaying renters! I successfully caught one last year and relocated him …
