Until Next Time…
After the boys and I left the City Museum, we swung by and picked up Mom and Dad. I needed a serious cup of coffee so we headed out of downtown and found a Starbucks. Dad wanted a picture like my mom has to show how tall the boys are getting. Unbelievable! We decided to […]
A City Adventure
As a family we have been to the City Museum several times. It is not your average museum but rather, it has been called industrial playground. The galleries are comprised of recycled and repurposed items found around the city. It’s quite difficult to encapsulate what one would find there but suffice it to say, if […]
The Field Trip to St. Louis
When Mom and Dad made their plans to visit, I told them our only commitment over the Christmas break was a scheduled Cub Scout outing at the City Museum Sunday to Monday. The timing worked perfectly because it allowed my parents to fly home from St. Louis. That being the case, we packed up the […]
Deck the Halls
A collection of decorations seen around the house included the nativity scene. Some years we add a piece a day leading up to Christmas.

They arose bright and early and started with their stockings while the coffee brewed and breakfast vittles were prepared. Much […]

Prayer, Pinewood and peanuts
Sunday’s letter of the day is P. We started with prayer at Mass. There are many, many multigenerational families at St. John’s so when we get to join the likes of them, I always have such a feeling of peace and wellbeing. Call me sentimental. It’s a title I can bear. After Mass, Papa and […]
A House Divided
This Christmas we decided to make the most out of having Mom and Dad with us by treating them to experiences and events rather than wrapped gifts. Since they had never been to a University of Evansville basketball game, this was a perfect start. Going to a college basketball game was somewhat reminiscent of my […]
