Back in 2008 We got the platinum passes from the Cedar Fair Park System. That gave us the access to all parks in the system. And we took a tour that summer, meeting my family along the way, but hitting many of the parks. The first of which was Kings Island. At that time King's … Continue reading A Blast of the Past #97: Kings Island

A Blast of the Past #96: Worlds of Fun, April 2008
With all the new changes at Worlds of Fun this year, especially their new entrance plaza, today's look at the past comes from a chilly day in April 2008 at WOF. How many different things can we see in these pictures that are no longer there, or have been transformed in some way?
A Blast of the Past #95: Christmas
Today's blast is Christmas 2007. The pictures feature Christmas wardrobe, much of it picked up during my trip to India.
A day in the life … but not just any day
Today's post will be snippets of my life from yesterday day, with thoughts and observations therefrom. It was my 51st birthday. Yesterday began with a trip to our "local" IKEA store in Merriam, KS. My wife and I arrived prior to the 9:30 a.m. opening of the store. The sliding doors to the store weren't … Continue reading A day in the life … but not just any day
Back in January I wrote about the flowering of my indoor dwarf lemon tree. I am glad to report at this time that I now have at least 10 very young, very green, very small lemons growing on my tree. That isn't many compared to all the blossoms it had, but in all the history … Continue reading

A Blast of the Past #90: India, Part 1
Today's blast of the past is going to be more of a travelogue, with multiple photo plates, instead of one big photo plate. I had the privilege of travelling to India for two weeks for work in 2007. My destination: Mumbai -- the Bollywood of India, and its financial center. I traveled with an officer … Continue reading A Blast of the Past #90: India, Part 1
A Blast of the Past #89: Trunk or Treat 2007
Today's blast is a significant historical event for my family. This was our first connect with Avondale United Methodist Church. We didn't know it at the time, but this simple connect would, over the next year, eventually lead to our making AUMC our church home.
A Blast of the Past #88: BonFire at Shaffers
In the fall of 2007 we had a Church small group bonfire at our long-time friends, the Shaffers. It was hard to realize at that time how soon the group we were with would be heading separate ways; we had been together so long, yet the time of parting was at hand. For us at … Continue reading A Blast of the Past #88: BonFire at Shaffers
