At lunch the other day, some of the guys were talking about passport photos the many people may need soon with changes in the ID law. I’ve been doing passport photos for maybe 30 years. Make an appointment with me. $15. Quick turn around. My trip to the goal line a long time before the

Remember when I told you that three big things happened during the Picnic and I only told you two of them? Well, I can tell you the third one now. I’ve forgotten what the first two were in the excitement over this one. Davis, Erica and Ben kidnapped Adrian and Van after they picked them

Saw a piece on TV Thursday evening that was a follow-up on the 15 passenger van wreck on Hwy. 13 that killed three Kansas youth group teens and injured 10 others. The report said that a testing agency has determined that 15 passenger vans are more likely to roll over when they are loaded. If

As I headed to the office last Thursday, there was a Kennon Concrete truck scattered out on the shoulder of Hwy. 82 where it had rolled over while sitting perfectly still according to an eye witness, Steve Woody.

I would have felt under gunned with it, but she put it to good use taking photos of the crew installing the huge

It was an unusual Picnic for three big reasons. No. 1 – because Adrian was here with our grandson, Van. At almost nine months, he couldn’t have cared less about the Picnic. He’s just started crawling and pulling up on things (and toppling them if he can) so he requires constant supervision. He’s a happy

Picnic here. At least the rides are – parked everywhere all over town. Wednesday night the Street Dance with Rekoil will kick off the festivities. We’ll have an Eagles Burger to prepare our innards for three days  of Picnic food. I just asked Kimball if we had any Class Reunion pictures scheduled for the Picnic.

Kimball just showed me her cell phone with a photo of Van with all of his teeth, both of them, barely breaking his bottom gum line. He just turned eight months. Adrian cut her first tooth at four months and two days. – I got out of the hospital on Tuesday, July 3, and felt

My thoughts have been off the wall since Friday when Kimball checked me into Cedar County Memorial. I heard the nurses repeatedly refer to UTI which got totally out of hand during the evening. I was so sick I couldn’t even stay awake and stand up for the nurses to clean me up. But they
