Happy 100th Birthday Dad!

My dad would have turned 100 years old today if he were still alive.  He was born On March 16, 1912 in Quilin MO.  He married my mom in 1935 when she was 14 years old and he was 23. They were married 55 years when he died in 1990 at the age of 78.

In Studio for America’s Got Talent

We got to the Fox Theater a little before 9 am yesterday for the fifth and final taping of auditions in St. Louis for the seventh season of America’s Got Talent.  There were eleven in out party and I heard one of the staff say, “138” as he passed us while counting the people in line.  [...]

The Case of the Missing Cupcake

This beautiful dog, Ice, passed away yesterday.  He belonged to Bonnie, the woman who runs the animal shelter where I got Trixie two years ago.  He was such a sweet dog.

 

Let It Snow

We’re getting our first real snow of the year.  We have about two inches and we may get another two inches before it’s all over with late tonight.

The walkway leads to steps that go down to a deck overlooking the Mississippi River.  Click to enlarge

The Grammys

I think last nights Grammys was the first time I ever watched the program from start to finish. Well, almost start to finish.  I was distracted for a couple minutes a time or two. All in all, I was pleasantly surprised.  I remember trying to watch it many years ago but was turned off by all the [...]

Happy Birthday Mom

My mom would have turned 91 today.  She died in 1995 at the age of 74.

I posted more about my mom last Mother’s Day.

Miss you Mom.

 

We have a little visitor

This little girl wandered into my yard this afternoon.  My grandson went up and down the street looking for the owner but we haven’t found them.  She’s awfully skinny.  One of the people up the street said they saw her and a wiener dog chasing a deer yesterday.    Gus and Trixie seem to [...]

Wild Turkeys

These birds (turkeys I think, but I’m never sure) were huge!  They were at least two and a half feet tall.

Trixie way laying on the steps this afternoon where she could see out the front door and started barking like crazy when she saw these birds in my front yard.  I went to see what [...]

Faulty Furnace Fun

My furnace has been acting up for the last couple of weeks.  At first I noticed that it didn’t come on when it was supposed to.  I went down and did a few things that I know how to do and got it working.  A few days later the same thing happened.  I was [...]

The Barn Under Blue Skies

This barn sits on some property my parents owned on highway 67 in southeastern Missouri from about 1970 until 1990.  Our family built this barn in the early 1970s.  It’s the only building still standing on the 55 acre property.  It’s in pretty bad shape but it’s still standing.  My parent’s lived in a [...]
