It seems like the cats find their way into every photo. Sometimes all three! A random photo of Corvin when he was home for Thanksgiving. I’m not sure what Sonora was doing here, but she sure looks proud of herself. Probably cause she has on my flannel shirt. Only a parent will understand the joy … Continue reading “November – 2023”
Thanksgiving began on Wednesday early for me. I drove up to Wisconsin to pick up Corvin and bring him back home for a quick weekend in St. Louis. It was worth it to see him and have him home. We got home late and went to bed as we had to be up early Thanksgiving … Continue reading “Thanksgiving – 2023”
A few months prior, I was invited to a house concert by my buddy Mark Fish. I didn’t know what to expect but was excited to experience something new. Mark has an amazing condo in the Benton Park area of St. Louis that used to be a school. His place has huge ceilings with plenty … Continue reading “Aaron English – 11/12/2023”
Sonora was going to the winter formal this year with a bunch of friends. The first step is finding a suitable dress. There were many more than the image below shows, but you get the feel of what she was thinking. She ultimately picked a pretty blue dress! Finally she was off with a fun … Continue reading “Sonora’s Winter Formal – 11/5/2023”
Another month and getting ready for the cold of winter approaching. Maybe just one more day of shorts and long sleeves… The cats are a constant part of our life and Gimli is sometimes a little too involved. He decided to re-arrange some of the plants behind the sink. He may think its revenge for … Continue reading “October – 2023”
We’ve decided to put an orchard on the property where we are building the house. We won’t be planting any trees until we get water to the property, but there is plenty of brush clearing to do until then. There is also a large branch on an oak tree that reaches into the orchard area … Continue reading “Clearing the Orchard – 12/3/2023”
Michael is a friend from college from honor’s house. He hosted a pre-Halloween bash at his house. We were hoping for better weather to do interesting outdoor things, but the weather didn’t cooperate. We opted for lots of hilarious indoor activities. Being a martial artist, he has a large collection of weapons for sparring. It … Continue reading “Michael’s Halloween Bash – 10/28/2023”
Going up to Danforth is usually a decent amount of work. But we reward ourselves with big fires from all of the work we accomplish. Today, we had some interesting fire. First off, it was bigger than normal. Sonora enjoyed helping out using the leaf blower to make the flames bigger! Danelle watched on wondering … Continue reading “Danforth Fire – 10/20/2023”
We love our large front porch on our house. Its mostly covered and out of the elements, but the stairs are not. They are 18 years old at this point. We’ve painted them a few times, but some of the steps just needed to be replaced. A little maintenance goes a long way. We started … Continue reading “Front Porch – 10/3/2023”
This appears to be a cat month based on all the photos I have. All the cats on the porch. Gimli getting stuck while playing. And Danelle hiking in Garden Of The Gods. I’ve wanted to go there and just have not made it yet. Hogan Haake
