Apple Cider – 10/29/2016
Josh and Jen invited us over to their house to make apple cider. Ok, the real goal was to get the juice so they could turn it into hard apple cider. But all good things take time and we needed to start with getting the juice out of the apples. Several of their friends showed … Continue reading “Apple Cider – 10/29/2016”
Sweet Potato Harvest – 10/24/2016
We had a large sweet potato in our kitchen that started sprouting in the summer. I was annoyed, so I took it outside and planted it in the ground. It just became a pet project of mine and I continued to water it all summer. I finally decided it was time and decided to see … Continue reading “Sweet Potato Harvest – 10/24/2016”
Waterfall Shelter Walls – 10/23/2016
One of the goals of the shelter we’re building at Waterfall is to have a place to store boats where they are not in the sun all of the time. We’re specifically planning on putting our two plastic boats out there. Plastic and exposure to the sun don’t mix! As you can see, we had … Continue reading “Waterfall Shelter Walls – 10/23/2016”
River des Peres Trash Bash – 10/22/2016
We participated in the annual River des Peres Trash Bash this year. I was a surprise site leader being asked at the last second to lead one. I had never been to the location before, but winged it quite well. While Sonora and I worked a specific site, Danelle and Corvin went around taking random … Continue reading “River des Peres Trash Bash – 10/22/2016”
Waterfall Shelter – 10/15/2016
Today is the big day! Last night, I took the first half of lumber out to waterfall. It was questionable how fast I would be able to drive. I had the truck loaded in a way that could make me famous for stupidity. If this worked, I would repeat the same drive with a similar … Continue reading “Waterfall Shelter – 10/15/2016”
Corvin Turns 13 – 10/9/2016
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”
September – 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”
Dad Returns Truck – 9/17/2016
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”
Piers at Waterfall – 9/3/2016
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”
