A Blast of the Past #56: Open House
One year after we moved into our current house we hosted an open house. Since that was in mid-November, it is also group with some Christmas tree photos. We spent a bit of time creating a banner for the open house -- one that is still in storage upstairs in the house.
A Blast of the Past #55: Halloween touring
Today's photo spread is fall themed, and has a lot of Halloween in it. Interesting all the things the kids saw and did then, and what things are like now.

Because Sunday I will be competing in the Kansas City Corporate Challenge … Continue reading Vacationing at the Pool, and other places
A Blast of the Past #52: Worlds of Fun
Today's blast comes from April 2002. Most of the pictures are from World's of Fun, but a few come from our house, and planting a garden outside. One particular picture is the boy riding the wheeled donkey that I had when I was a child. That was a great memory.

A Blast of the Past #50: Winter 2002
Today's post is a vignette of the fun of a winter past. It includes scenes outside in the snow, and inside snuggling and playing. There are even a couple of shots of longtime friend Lester Morris, whom like many friends from days gone by, we haven't seen in awhile.
