In celebration of having my first thirteen year old in the house, I baked Corvin a special cake. Unfortunately for him, I don’t have very good baking skills… But he enjoyed it anyway! With his main cake baked, it was time to have more fun. I also baked two “smash” cakes. These are the cakes … Continue reading “Corvin Turns 13 – 10/9/2016”
It was another month of unicycles for me! Corvin was in full swing of outdoor soccer. He played a game on the main field at the soccer park off Soccer Park road in Fenton. Its a 5500 seat stadium, so it was really cool. Grandparents Henry and Carol even came out to watch. Afterwords, Corvin … Continue reading “September – 2016”
Last year about this time, I lent my brother Herman my truck. I didn’t know how long he would have it, but I was willing to help him out of a bind. About a year later, he got his own truck and didn’t need mine anymore. I was quite excited to pick it up. Instead, … Continue reading “Dad Returns Truck – 9/17/2016”
We’ve decided to put up a picnic type shelter at Waterfall. We figure we’re more likely to go out and visit if we have a home base out there that is ready and waiting for us to use. The first step of this process is to go out and lay the foundation. The plan is … Continue reading “Piers at Waterfall – 9/3/2016”
Its hard to believe I could celebrate 20 years of anything, but today was my reunion. I had a good high school experience, but I don’t feel like it defined my life. I did generate a nice core of friends that have kept in touch. We decided to no go to the official reunion, but … Continue reading “20 Year Reunion – 8/13/2016”
Sonora has been begging Danelle and I to rent a multi person bike for at least a month. Once she is fixated on something, we never hear the end of it. I had to go ice skating earlier in the year for her last obsession. She really wanted to go around Creve Coeur lake so … Continue reading “Bike With Sonora – 6/25/2016”

I was out unicycling and I got a call from JoJo, “The River Wife”. I was stopped at an intersection and picked up the call to see what she wanted. She mentioned a paddling race coming up in a few days and wondered if I was interested in it. I told I would find out … Continue reading “The Gas – 6/11/2016”
Hannah is near the end of her stay for this visit. Danelle was busy with a prior commitment, so I thought I would take her and the kids out for an adventure. We started the day at the Melvin Price Lock and Dam and the associated National Great Rivers Museum. We were hoping to get … Continue reading “More Fun With Hannah – 6/3/2016”
By some miracle, I was able to get Hannah to wake up early when she was visiting for an early morning paddle. While the official wake up time was 5 am, we didn’t get out for another thirty minutes as she acclimated to the morning! In a short while, we were at the ramp getting … Continue reading “Early Paddle with Hannah – 6/3/2016”
