Oxnard-- You know, after five years of writing Frosted Thoughts, most people can read these little thoughts and develop some opinions about my life. ONE thing is for sure; I cannot make even the slightest car repair or alteration in any way. For example, the back windshield wiper on my car was worn out, so I thought, no problem, I’ll buy a new wiper and replace it. After reading the instruc...

Oxnard--Have you ever looked at your home and said oh man, this place needs some work? I did this past weekend, and it can be a challenging task. FOR starters, the J-Train is a self-proclaimed “clutter queen,” which is the polar opposite of me. I dislike clutter, so onward I rolled, trying to box things that haven’t been used in years and placing them in our outdoor storage. That’s where th...

Oxnard-- I hope all the Dads out there have a great Father’s Day and all the children take the time to appreciate everything that Dads go through daily to ensure their kids are happy, safe, and loved. I’VE written in detail about my Father already, Ward Ryder Frost Jr., so I won’t relive all those memories. Still, they live inside of me every day. It took me some time to embrace those memori...

Oxnard-- What a fun week this past week was. Like always, I was in the community reporting on all the great things that happened in Oxnard and Port Hueneme, starting with the Insect Festival. I was excited to attend this event and impressed by the huge turnout. The J-Train bugged me all week about coming with me to enjoy the fun. To me, the highlight of the day was learning about the role i...

Oxnard-- It was 24 years ago this week that the J-Train and I got married, and over the past nearly quarter century, it’s been quite a ride full of highs and lows. IT all started in 1997 when I was a fast-food manager, and she was a medical assistant. We spent our first day together talking over coffee, and shortly after that, we moved in together and became a blended family full of children...

Oxnard-- Sometimes there just isn’t enough of me to go around. My average week is nonstop, seven days a week. A TYPICAL week for me involves covering City and community events, writing those stories, delivering the paper, doing the banking, payroll, legal postings, financial budgets, being the billing manager, responding to questions that come in, and following up with all my employees and m...

Oxnard-- Sometimes, I bypass the dishwasher, make a sink full of water, wash the dishes and think about things I see, do, and observe in life. THIS started on Saturday afternoon while I was at the store. I saw the J-Train’s favorite cookies while wandering by, so I got her favorites, along with a pint of ice cream. I had them waiting for her with the television remote when she got home from...

Oxnard-- Mother’s Day evokes both happy and sad memories from me since my Mother, Dolores Frost, died on February 12, 2004. remember the week she died and the phone call I got from my sister when I was in New Jersey, and she told me my Mother wouldn’t be alive much longer. The J-Train and I split our duties; I tackled my boss at work and told him I was going to my Mother. The J-Train coordin...

Oxnard--The text finally arrived at long last, and my youngest son, Sergeant Colin R. Frost, is finally home from deployment in the Middle East. IT’S hard to describe the feelings of pride and relief I feel after sitting idly by and watching my son be deployed to an undisclosed location that is less than safe. I know Colin encountered some challenges, but he is part of a great team and came...

Oxnard-- I was rolling along last Friday, having a typical day, and noticed my face and back were wet. I thought I might have been sick, but then I realized I was hot and sweaty. THE first thing I did was something that’s been coming for a long time; I took my Hoodie off, part of my wardrobe for months. There are some things I had to manage to accommodate the weather change, starting with m...
