I must be going soft. I used to never buy flowers for Danelle. But I sprung for several roses. I try to take a lunch walk every day that I’m working from home. Often, I can even convince Danelle to walk with me. One of the highlights of our walk is spotting the birds (I … Continue reading “December – 2022”
We made it to KC to see my family. Its always a madhouse as there are numerous things going on, but that keeps it all very interesting. Starting off with the least Christmas thing of all, Henry’s car. Its looking good with the motor back in the engine bay. I’m not sure how he will … Continue reading “Christmas in KC – 12/22/2018”

Like many families, we don’t seem to get together often enough. In an attempt to remedy that, we planned an extended family campout. The plan was to meet at Pomme de Terre State Park on Friday night and hang out till Sunday. Of course even with a family campsite, plans get in the way. Danelle … Continue reading “Family Campout – 9/20/2014”
We came into KC for the weekend to see Holly. This was the last weekend she was going to come into town before she had her baby girl. Of course we got to see my parents who seemed quite happy!

We were on the road by 6 am, which was a feat with the people involved. Even getting our two kids to wake up on time was simple compared with my brothers, Herman and Henry. Much to my surprise, everybody got up with minimal fuss and we were on the road. 3/4 of my passengers … Continue reading “Hayden and Jennifer 10 Years – 7/12/2014”
