We’ve been celebrating New Years with the Neimeyer’s for 24 years! It started as a simple visit to an apartment in Lawrence, KS in 1999. From there to multiple cities in the Midwest until we both settled in St. Louis. Complacency can get the best of anybody and we started mixing it up with trips … Continue reading “A New Years Tradition – 12/13/2023”
It might be five days late, by the calendar, but its perfect Christmas for us. We met at Henry and Carol’s house for dessert and general company. We’re so physically close, but it feels like we each take it for granted. That has us occasionally getting together. Much of the time is catching up on … Continue reading “Christmas in St. Louis – 12/30/2023”
We hosted new years at our house this year. It was a small affair, but just right for the occasion. The Neimeyer’s plus Drew were over for the night. We had some shenanigans at the air hockey table. And of course our midnight toast. Don’t worry, this one is non-alcoholic. Hogan Haake
Nothing like the holidays for pushing you to do the most possible in the least amount of time. Okay, we had a little more time, but I should explain. Corvin was scheduled to take an Amtrak train home from school. Amtrak cancelled the train 5 days in advance due to weather. I’m guessing they don’t … Continue reading “Christmas Eve in St. Louis – 12/24/2022”
Sometimes, you just look for a random excuse to hang out with your friends. There is no occasion or reason other than to be together. Today, Kelly and Jeff came over and we made Pasta from scratch. You have to start by mixing the ingredients, its a mess! Jeff is hand mixing the start of … Continue reading “Pastaaaaaaaahhhhhhhh – 7/23/2022”
We called up our good friends Kelly and Jeff and asked if they wanted to do a paddling double date on the Missouri river. I promised to bring all the supplies and do most of the work if they provided the company. I was quite surprised when they agreed. Of course I needed to make … Continue reading “Water Double Date – 6/13/2021”
We had some family over and somehow it became a thing that we wore a cloth bag over our heads… Little did we know, we would need face masks just a few months later… OK, just kidding, we were playing a game. They brought over a bag of Skittles. The test was to see if … Continue reading “January – 2020”
Kelly came over to watch the St. Louis Blues play the Dallas Stars with Danelle. These ladies have been hockey fans for a long time. The Blues were playoff bound and they were excited about hockey. We didn’t have much around the house before the game, so I went to the grocery store to get … Continue reading “Watching The Blues with Kelly – 5/3/2019”
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”
Christmas in St. Louis started the day before. We thought the kids would be surprised with a transformation, so we worked to paint and prepare the basement for them. They were not as surprised as we had hoped, but having a new space for them to hang out is good. Painting the wall white is … Continue reading “Christmas in STL – 12/24/2018”
