Happy Birthday

Today, December 24th marks the anniversary of my Father's Legal Birthday However, my Grandmother always said he was born on Christmas, but the midwife wrote down 12/24/1927 because that is when she arrived at the house to help deliver him. So I will wish my father Happy Birthday today, and know that it was really Christmas Day when he was born,

Time Does NOT heal all wounds

I do not need the calendar today I know the date by the pain in my heart

Happy Birthday

I would be remiss if I didn't wish my dearly departed Mother Happy Birthday. I know she is gone from us, but Happy Birthday Mom

A night out with my girls

Holly, Joanne and I went out last night for dinner and a movie. Ryan decided that he want to go so he stayed home and was a stick in the mud.

We headed to Chesterfield and ate dinner at the Red Robin, and then off to Wehrenberg's Galaxy 14 to see Disney's Christmas Carol IN 3D We were to see th7:00pm show, but we were early, and the manager allowed us to hit the 6:30 show instead.

The previews were cool in the 3d especially Alice in Wonderland, and Toy Story 3D.

The Movie : Good, great visuals, and true to the story, but short so it didn't dig in deep to the story.

The dinner : Very Good

The Company : Excellent.

Just One more Look

This video features some of the people who I have lost and would like just one more day with.

Two Trip Year

So, call me crazy, but two months after heading to CT with the family, I returned for a long weekend by myself.

Headed to the BIG E

went and saw the Joseph's,

caught up with a friend that I have known my whole life,

stopped and saw my 50 year old friend Jimmy,
Went to the Beach,


Ate at the Beverly Pizza,

Went To Jone's Pumpkin Patch

and visited with Ruthe, and Ernie.

Had an early Flight back to Missouri on Sunday

It was a blast, and I am still tired a week later. Can't wait for my day off Wednesday so I can take it easy. All I have to do is cut my grass, Barb's grass, and get my oil changed. Oh then I need to catch up on my ironing.

Thanks to all who made my trip so much fun, and to the family in MO for putting up with my crazy trip.

Happy Anniversary

So on Sunday, September 6th, at 3:00pm EDT Joanne and I will be married 29 years.


They say when you get married that over time you start to look like each other. I have found that to be false. However, I do believe that over time you start to THINK like each other. Well, today I believe that more. I brought home some flowers, and a card today for our anniversary, and presented them to Joanne. I went in to the other room, and changed. When I came out Joanne was laughing and presented me with a card for our anniversary. They were the same cards (shown below). Now that is not proof to my theory, but any of you who have been married for a long time I am sure will agree, that you start to think about the same things from the same viewpoint (except politics).



Any way all my love to my wife who is a beautiful to me as the day we were married.
