I have a story to tell you. It started with our oldest daughter wanting a different vehicle. Her recent luck with used vehicles purchased in NY state is abysmal. Each of them were corroded by rust beyond the point of reasonable usage within a year of her acquiring them. So we decided to look for…

2014: The Year of Fun Numbers
We are rounding out the two weeks on the calendar that we call “Birthday Season” here. All three of our girls were born within two weeks of each other. (Two weeks and a day during leap years.) Strangely, they also fall chronologically in age order: Kirstie’s first, then Julia, then Emma. It’s a fun, full,…
[ThisDay] Caught In A Snowstorm!
It is a beautiful, snowy day as I write this. Large, puffy snowflakes drift quietly to the ground, piling higher and higher—much to the Campbell children’s delight! Apparently this time of year is a snowy time of year! Two separate posts on January 23rds over the past decade have been about notable amounts of snow….
[ThisDay] City Living… Or Not
There were not too many posts published this day in GregsHead history. In fact, there were only four total. That made selecting a favorite a bit easier, but I believe I would have chosen this particular story against most competition, anyway. Please enjoy this little anecdote from a bedtime just a couple years ago. 🙂…
Imitation: The Highest Form of Flattery [Memory Lane]
Each Thursday in August we continued the trip down Memory Lane—a feature that began the last week of July. I re-posted some of my all-time favorite stories that I’ve published here as part of celebrating ten years of blogging—August 2003 to August 2013. Some posts were taken from my published books, and others (like today’s)…

Some posts are taken from books, and others (like today’s) have only been published online thus far. You’ll read stories…

Maple Sugarin’!
We’re trying something new this spring: we’re sugarin’ our maple trees! It’s fun to see how things are made, and in my opinion the best way to see is to do. The process began a while ago, when we talked about doing it. We live on a small, quarter-acre lot in a somewhat urban-ish setting….
Growing Up
We here at the Campbell home are experiencing the winds of change. I think perhaps we have been for quite a while now, but I’ve been noticing it again lately. Life moves quickly. In some ways, too quickly. For everything there is a season, a time for every activity under heaven. —Ecclesiastes 3:1 Yeah. That’s…
Real Stuff
I am not a food or nutrition “nut”. (And I can’t imagine I’d ever be accused of being so.) But I do keep moving more and more toward making sure that I and my family are eating actual food. Both because of health, and because of taste! However, there are some holiday traditions (and family…
