Ten Years in the Planning — Four Hours in the Execution
I'm a happy camper -- satisfied with the results of a city project -- satisfied with the performance of the private contractor the city hired to do the water main replacement in front of our house.

We hadn't been to … Continue reading The Prophetic Utterance

An Olde Story with a Twist…..
THE LIGHTFOOT STORY Mother "I waited in the check‑out line with my two sons. As we neared the checker, both exclaimed 'Mom, there's a Metcalf! Mom, there's a Metcalf!' The checker's nametag read Ann Metcalf. She couldn't figure why the boys were excited about her name, so I had to tell her the Lightfoot … Continue reading An Olde Story with a Twist…..
Flash back to a warm summer evening ….
Warm today. Made me think of "Snoopy's Hot Summer Lights" at Worlds of Fun. So here are a few pictures from a couple of years ago ....
