Jeff’s Birthday
Posted on October 2nd, 2009 by Clayton
Jeff got him a fishin’ pole this year. Not just any pole, a Hawg Seeker. This one has electronic fish detection and a really long pole. Here he is with the pole and his cake later.
Restoring old family films
Posted on September 13th, 2009 by Clayton
I don’t know why, but my last vist to the folks house I decided to borrow the old family films and projector. I intend to convert them to something usable in this century. I will be posting them here as well as going to DVD format.
Kansas and .38 Special
Posted on August 15th, 2009 by Clayton
Penny and I went to see the concert at First Council Casino. It was great!
We ate dinner at the buffett in the casino and watched a great show. The stage was set up in the parking lot, and an area was roped off with plenty of seating. It was a beautiful night and a concert under the stars. We even went into the Casino and won a little bit after the show. All in all, a great evening.

A summer visit to St. Louis
Posted on August 1st, 2009 by Clayton
Clayton and Jeff visited Mom and Dad in August. We had a truly wonderful time! We saw a Cardinals game in the new stadium. We went fishing at Creve Coeur Lake, and even caught some fish. Clayton did an upgrade to Mom’s computer as well. We spend several days visiting and playing cards too. All in all, a great visit. Thank you Mom and Dad!
Lake Afton in July
Posted on July 20th, 2009 by Clayton
At the last minute on Friday night, we decided to go to Lake Afton for the weekend. It took about 40 minutes to get the camper and truck ready, and Jeff and Clayton were on the road. Penny followed a little later with the rest of the ‘in progress’ laundry.
It was a nice relaxing weekend. We spent a lot of time fishing, but Penny is the only one to actually catch something. It wasn’t for lack of trying.
Beaver Lake – Table Rock
Posted on July 15th, 2009 by Clayton
We spent a week in the Ozarks with Gayle and Darlene, and had a great time. We started at Tom and Louis’ Mother’s house in Garfield, AK. on Beaver Lake. She has a nice house and dock and a boat as well. We camped in her front yard with Gayle and Darlene. We did some chores for her while we were there, later got some boating and swimming in. We stayed two nights and had great cool weather while there.
