  • Family Reunion

    Sparta, WI, September 2026 This was the first family reunion in many years. Covid really put a damper on getting together along with the families growing and spreading out across the country. This year, we went to Memorial Park and rented the pavilion next to the new playground. The pavilion had many things going for…

  • Daily life of a Grill

    Sparta, WI, September 2026 Most of the time you would think of a grill having an uneventful life on someone’s deck. The grill is put together, placed on a table or deck and used. Nothing thrilling. My grill led an eventful life. It started out normally (put together). After that, it wandered around the US…

  • Great Design – Air Filters in Hyundai Tuscon

    Sparta, WI, September 2026 Usually, I would replace the air filter in my vehicles vs. the dealership or oil changing shop. Mostly, I did this because it was fairly easy and inexpensive. In all my prior vehicles, the replacement, at minimum, required a wrench or screw driver to remove the air filter cover. In some…

  • Birthday Bowling

    West Salem, WI, September 2026 I am absolutely terrible at figuring out what I want to do as a special treat on my birthday. With Mom, we went to the Mexican restaurant which I absolutely love. So, that was the easy decision. The next step was to figure out what John and I should do…

  • Comlara Park Spillway Update

    Comlara Park, IL, August 2026 We just dropped Mackie off at the vet for surgery to address his bad teeth and potential abscess from the bad teeth. On the way back to the trailer, we went to the Comlara Park Spillway. I was curious to see how rain last night and another flood warning impacted…

  • Flash Flood Warnings

    Hudson, IL, August 2026 We have lived through a tornado. Now, we had the chance to live through a Flash Flood Warning. Comlara Park had a major dry spell, and everyone in the area was stating “We really need rain.” We had 2 days of steady rain, and the flash flood warnings started to come…

  • Caterpillar Museum: Part 2 – Playing with Caterpillars

    Peoria, IL, July 2026 Part 2 is all about playing on the equipment and selfies. I enjoyed climbing into the machinery the most. The sad part was that in many cases my feet barely touched the peddles. You’ll notice my feet don’t really touch :-). They also had 5 game type machines were you were…

  • Caterpillar Museum: Part 1 – Butterfly or Large Machinery

    Peoria, IL, August 2026 I said to John “I really would like to go to the caterpillar museum.” John said “yes” thinking we would see beautiful butterflies for him to photograph. He learned later that this was the large yellow machinery. Talking to the visitor center receptionist, John wasn’t the only person who thought they…

  • Bald Eagle

    Comlara Park, IL, August 2026 I absolutely love the bald eagle because of their size, beauty and grace. Did you know? The US added the bald eagle to the Great Seal of the US on June 20th, 1782. You would think this means the bald eagle was the US national bird. It wasn’t. In 2024,…
