We wanted to do a family activity today. We packed up some supplies and headed out to Waterfall to make breakfast and hang out. The menu was French Toast made on a camp fire with the dutch oven lid. If you’re wondering what I’m sitting on, it isn’t any type of a grave. Its the … Continue reading “Waterfall for Easter – 4/4/2021”
Its been a full year of the COVID-19 pandemic for us. In March of last year was when I moved out of my work office and started working from home. Things are not too bad, but sometimes you just have to get out. Here is one such outing. And finally they “Released the Snyder Cut”. … Continue reading “March – 2021”
Danelle and I signed up for a race called the Bourbeuse Bluebell. Its a 18.2 mile race on the Bourbeuse river. We planned the trip with our friends, Melissa, Johnathan, and Bernie.

Sonora joined the track team to throw discus and shot put. Today she tried on her new uniform and it looks good on her! We’ll monitor and see how her season goes, but she is excited! Hogan Haake
Following a recent Stream Team clean up at Cora Island, I wanted to go back and visit to hike more of it. I was lucky enough to have Danelle join me! Part of the goal was to hike past where I had not been during the cleanup. We totally achieved that. We ended up hiking … Continue reading “Cora Island Hike – 3/14/2021”

Cats just love boxes. Coatrack doesn’t even wait till they are empty… Maggie came over and dyed her hair with Sonora. Danelle and I walked to the eastern terminus of the Katy Trail I’m still unicycling and finding signs made just for me 🙂 Danelle put out food for the squirrels to eat, but also … Continue reading “January – 2021”
We decided to see how the cats like the snow today. Brawndo hasn’t see it before, but being a Maine Coon, it shouldn’t be an issue. He seemed pretty chill with it. Coatrack likes being outside in anything but rain. The paw prints might be the best part about the whole thing. We didn’t let … Continue reading “Snow Cats – 1/27/2021”
We finally got Corvin out to our Alton property to see it for the first time. After walking around, he found some entertainment. That was in the form of climbing a tree! I don’t think I was ever this good at climbing! Hogan
With COVID-19 pandemic, I decided not to get a hair cut to do my part trying to keep myself from getting sick. The last haircut I had was about 11 months earlier and it showed.
