Kansas City Visit – 12/2/2024

Christmas is coming up and I promised my sister, Hannah, that I would work on some plumbing and electrical issues at her house while I stayed there. I knew the visit would be limited in time, so I thought a scouting visit would be a great idea. Lucky for me, Danelle and Sonora joined me … Continue reading “Kansas City Visit – 12/2/2024”

November – 2023

It seems like the cats find their way into every photo. Sometimes all three! A random photo of Corvin when he was home for Thanksgiving. I’m not sure what Sonora was doing here, but she sure looks proud of herself. Probably cause she has on my flannel shirt. Only a parent will understand the joy … Continue reading “November – 2023”

Aaron English – 11/12/2023

A few months prior, I was invited to a house concert by my buddy Mark Fish. I didn’t know what to expect but was excited to experience something new. Mark has an amazing condo in the Benton Park area of St. Louis that used to be a school. His place has huge ceilings with plenty … Continue reading “Aaron English – 11/12/2023”

Danforth Fire – 10/20/2023

Going up to Danforth is usually a decent amount of work. But we reward ourselves with big fires from all of the work we accomplish. Today, we had some interesting fire. First off, it was bigger than normal. Sonora enjoyed helping out using the leaf blower to make the flames bigger! Danelle watched on wondering … Continue reading “Danforth Fire – 10/20/2023”

Front Porch – 10/3/2023

We love our large front porch on our house. Its mostly covered and out of the elements, but the stairs are not. They are 18 years old at this point. We’ve painted them a few times, but some of the steps just needed to be replaced. A little maintenance goes a long way. We started … Continue reading “Front Porch – 10/3/2023”

Apple Cider – 9/29/2023

One of the most frustrating things about COVID-19 was the cancellation of events. One of the events that was our favorite annual tradition was Josh’s Apple Cider party. Held in the fall, Josh would purchase several bushels of apples and have friends and family come over to help process them. You could say I’m a … Continue reading “Apple Cider – 9/29/2023”

Paddling With Dave – 9/23/2023

I have several very interesting friends. One of those friends is Dave O’Leary. We met from the volleyball team that we mutually play on. Dave posts a lot on social media and seems to always be doing something and asking for friends to join him. Today, Danelle and I reached out and joined him for … Continue reading “Paddling With Dave – 9/23/2023”
