We picked up tickets for the St. Louis Symphony’s youth orchestra. Sonora loves to go and its a great excuse to get out. Laura met us at The Fountain on Locust for lunch. The food menu is just meh, but that isn’t what they are known for. They have a HUGE collection of ice cream … Continue reading “Youth Orchestra – 11/13/2022”
Coty finished softball season and went straight into practice for the school musical, Grease. She landed the role of an extra, but it was a lot of work. She played several different roles and had to do several dance numbers! See her below with a mustache dancing with the guys. Being an extra doesn’t mean … Continue reading “Grease – 11/12/2023”
Another amazing Sunset Race is in the books.We had warm weather that made it easy to paddle. You’re looking at a very bright moon and Blake paddling. Looking at the back of the boat, I’m trying to keep us straight. What a perfect way to spend the evening. Come visit us on the second Thursday … Continue reading “Sunset Race – 11/11/2023”
The Friendship Dance is like homecoming, but combined Webster Groves and Kirkwood high schools together. Coty and Sonora were both going to the dance. The plan was all of us to go to Danelle’s Parents house in Kirkwood. Drew would pick up the girls and they would go to dinner and the dance from there. … Continue reading “Friendship Dance – 11/5/2022”
Sushi is our cat star of the month. She’s claiming us. First with paws over Danelle. Then Sonora. Poor Drew, he sat still too long and Sonora braided his hair. Coty looked for Halloween costume ideas at GoodWill with me. I did some unicycling on Grant’s Trail. I also managed to patch a tire on … Continue reading “October – 2023”
Halloween is here and Coty wanted to dress up and go out. Sonora already had plans, but that wasn’t going to be a problem. First order of business was to dress up as a hippie and go to school. We kept meaning to carve a pumpkin, but hadn’t done it. So Coty carved her first … Continue reading “Halloween – 10/31/2022”
In preparation for the Friendship Dance (the local version of Homecoming), I took Coty and Sonora shopping for dresses to wear to the dance. The prices were pretty reasonable, so Coty ended up getting two dresses. These will hopefully be useful both for dances here and when she gets back home. Sonora had trouble choosing … Continue reading “All Dressed Up – 10/29/2022”
We decided to go camping on a whim. We went to the state website to reserve a site at one of the lovely Missouri State Parks. To our dismay, it seems everybody else also wanted to go camping. We found a spot after lots of searching at Sam A Baker State Park. The park is … Continue reading “Sick Of Camping? – 10/15/2022”
Corvin has been gone for about a month at school now. We’ve talked to him a few times, but mostly he is just away doing his thing. For his birthday, I was coming up to Wisconsin to see him and take him to his first NFL game. It started off Friday evening after work. I … Continue reading “Corvin’s Birthday – 10/8/2022”
Danelle’s parents have been having trouble with their laptops recently. I convinced them to get updated ones. One of the driving reasons was having the same laptop might make it easier to support. If it worked on one, it should always work on the other, right? Here we are setting them up. Hopefully they enjoy … Continue reading “September – 2023”
