Happy 51rst

Took Lord Paul of Herbert to Alum Creek for a year late 50th birthday party. Last year was just to cold to go to the lake. Water temp never got above 70. I rode the V twice and fell off twice. Dad drove me and the old dad who use to drive us around bridge poles at WOT came out of retirement. Abbey rode the V, and Dennis loved riding in the boat. A special note goes out to Mer, who worked great even though he hadn't run in two years. It is also his tenth year with us, so I have now anointed him Sir Mer of Cury. On a sad note, I had to throw the V away. We inflated it the night before we left and in the morning it was half out of air. We blew it up again before we left and had to re inflate before every trip. I'll have to find something else to replace it.

You are the true hero of time, Young Master FrogBurger!

Hey everyone! Mason Ceth Bernskoetter joined us Monday Afternoon at St. Johns. He was born at 1:02 pm and weighed 8.2 lbs and has the wing span of an unladen african swallow. I've been busy taking pictures and wanted to share them with all of you. Some of you have not yet appeared to pay tribute, but I'm sure that when he rises to power he will forgive such transgressions.

Seriously though, he is amazing and thank you to everyone for your support (and food!!)

Here is a link to all the pictures that I have so far:

One Year Away

Tell Two-Mom that so far I plan to go down to Wilson's Creek's 150 anniversary. I might try and go to Pea Ridge while I'm in the area. Oh, and also try and see Alli and Mykl kid. I can't speak for everybody else, I have no Idea what they're doing next year. Oddly enough today is the anniversary of the battle of Wilson's creek.

Something new for Riley to learn

Flute + beatboxing:

So, there's a lot going on in your lives, new jobs, new houses, new "life forms" expected . . .

Let us pause for a moment . . . and take it all in . . .
