After a few months without a car, I took Henry and Carol to the dealership to get a new car. If you forgot, their car was totaled at an intersection when coming to feed our cats. They learned about several valuable services like grocery delivery while they went without a car. Its an interesting position … Continue reading “Henry and Carol’s New Car – 2/3/2018”

I was only halfway surprised as the box didn’t look in great shape. So I returned it and bought two new bulbs, as another would … Continue reading “New Bathroom Light – 1/27/2018”
We had a break in the cold so Corvin and I were able to get in a unicycle ride. Its always hard to ride after you’ve been away from it for a while. We got to explore part of a new trail going in near our house and had a great time together. Hogan Haake

January and February Sunset races seem the hardest to get people to show up to. This month we had repeat new people, Ken and Mark, to paddle with us. Mark is fairly new to paddling and we needed to share some warm weather gear with him, but its fun to have new paddlers! Hogan Haake
Seems like a stupid title for a post, but this winter was colder than many in recent memory. Maybe not by average temperature, but there was about a week long cold spell that hand hundreds of burst pipes around the city. I found this one near my office spilling a huge quantity of water! What … Continue reading “Winter Is Cold – 1/8/2018”
Sonora was recommended by her music teacher to participate in the St. Louis All Suburban Orchestra. This involved her learning new music on her own and going to several practices after hours with the rest of the group. We were lucky that my parents were able to come in from Kansas City for the weekend … Continue reading “St. Louis 6th Grade All Suburban Orchestra”
My last post for 2017! Here are a few things that didn’t get their own album. Corvin dressing up at the meme Dat Boi. Danelle’s parents making silly faces with me. Sonora playing Corvin’s bass like a violin. 200,000 miles driven in our van. Now aiming for 300,000. Carol got her car totaled in an … Continue reading “December – 2017”
