Tonight, I HAD to attend the opening night performance of the WCCT’s latest melodrama to show my support of one of my dearest friends who had a couple of roles in the show. When I arrived, I knew I was in for a treat. There was a duo of western lawmen who began to harrass […]

Warm weather, baseball, county fairs, amusement parks, and Torn Up Streets. Yesterday morning, I was informed that I needed to move my car. I usually park across the street in front of the old school house to save on parking. However, yesterday began the inevitable tearing up of the pavement and resurfacing… right on North
With amusement and much scrutiny, I peruse most of the many email forwards I receive… Occasionally, one will catch my eye.

As you might have read in my blog before the impromptu camping trip, we’ve been putting a lot of effort into a bunch of home improvement projects lately. Here are a few of the latest pictures: Backyard, before and after the new fence: Not from the same angle, but hopefully you get the idea. We
