Prom – 4/22/2022
Sonora got invited to senior prom this year. She was super excited and so was Danelle. So first thing a girl has to do is go and find a dress. Here are some of the highlights of the shopping trip to find a dress. I feel like prom snuck up on us even though I … Continue reading “Prom – 4/22/2022”
Danforth Clearing – 4/10/2022
It feels a bit like an obsession, but one that we enjoy. What is the obsession, going up to Danforth and removing vegetation and burning it. Today, we were working on the flat field area near the back. Okay, Danelle is cleaning up the mess I made from previous visits while I get rid of … Continue reading “Danforth Clearing – 4/10/2022”
Blues Game – 4/4/2022

And it seems a common theme for me that as spring starts to show up, I get interested in unicycling again. A quick trip out to the … Continue reading “March 2022”

An Electric Chain Saw? 3/22/2022
I never thought we would be a proud owner of an electric chain saw. On first thought, isn’t it more manly to have a gas one that I can pull 20 times before it starts. Then with confidence, I can choke on the oil laced exhaust as I rev the engine for all to see … Continue reading “An Electric Chain Saw? 3/22/2022”
Eureka Springs – 3/18/2022
Its early on Friday morning. How early, 4am. We get the whole family up and put all of us in the car and head straight to the airport.

Paddle Stop Brewery – 7/14/2022
Danelle and I have been wanting to visit Paddle Stop Brewery since it opened. We’re acquaintances with the owners, Shane and Stacy and wanted to support their new business. We started off by finding the super quite and comfortable library room. There are several bookshelves with interesting books and a cozy feel. From there, I … Continue reading “Paddle Stop Brewery – 7/14/2022”
