Yesterday we were at the annual Stream Team Picnic. Hannah won a few prizes during the raffle and one of the prizes she got was 4 tickets to Onondaga cave. We didn’t have time to visit the cave on Saturday, but we realized that if we didn’t use them on Sunday, they would probably expire … Continue reading “Onondaga Cave With Hannah – 7/28/2019”
My sister Hannah was in town for the weekend. We took her to the annual Stream Team picnic held on the last Saturday in July. Danelle is involved, so we had work to do, but Hannah didn’t mind. During the drive down, I wanted to impress my baby sister by showing her how cool I … Continue reading “Stream Team Picnic – 7/27/2019”
My sister Holly is moving to Kansas City after being in Wichita for about 10 years. This is super exiting for me as i don’t often see her as its a very long drive from St. Louis. Now she will be closer and we can see her and her family. This moving journey starts out … Continue reading “Holly Moving – 6/21/2019”
The last day of our vacation. We woke up early in KC and spent some time before heading home to St. Louis. But not before having fun at the house. Of interest to me, we passed 222,222 miles on the odometer during this trip. And when we pulled into the driveway, we ended with 4,758.6 … Continue reading “Southwest Summer Adventure – 6/14/2019”
Hannah came in for a few days during her spring break to hang out with us. Here are some highlights of her visit. Danelle picked her up from the Amtrak bus (as the tracks were flooded out). From there, they went straight downtown to get photos. With pictures and food out of the way, there … Continue reading “Hannah Weekend – 3/22/2019”
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”
Hannah likes the St.Louis Blues and wants to see them in person. So we got tickets so she could see a game in person. As an added bonus, my mom came in town with her. I wasn’t going to let mom miss a good time, so we had lots of parallel plans to keep us … Continue reading “Mom and Hannah in STL – 11/4/2017”
Like any good fool, I often volunteer myself for work that I don’t have to do. In this case, my brother Hiatt was talking about his house needing to be painted. I suggested that he schedule it for Labor Day weekend so we had an extra day. He of course obliged and I was not … Continue reading “Painting Hiatt’s House – 9/2/2017”
I’ve been to Mardi Gras too many times, and this is just one more. I’m the bridge between two groups that all come together to get drunk and walk the streets. This year, Hanna’s friend Jen came to join our crew. The first step is always getting in costume. After the pink suit I wore … Continue reading “St. Louis Mardi Gras – 2/25/2017”
While we were in KC for Christmas, we realized that we would be coming back a week later for Herman’s Graduation from the police academy. The kids asked if they could stay for the week and I asked mom. She was delighted at having the kids for the week and said she would take care … Continue reading “Herman Graduation – 12/30/2016”
