04/12/11--10:33: Civil War in Missouri (chan 1356018)

I clicked on this Yahoo! News story about rare Civil War photos today and it reminded me of something from my childhood. My father was the President of the Clark County Historical Society in Northeast Missouri. In the northern part of the county, the remains of a small town called Athens stand where a small [...]

Last week was National Crime Victims’ Rights Week which ended in the St. Louis area with a Trivia Night. The Probation and Parole office located on S. Jefferson in St. Louis organized the 7th annual event and the amount of money raised was staggering. This year’s Trivia Night had a new look. Out was the guy who [...]

05/27/11--09:49: A Perfect Surprise (chan 1356018)

If you read my post yesterday, you know that it was my anniversary. My husband and I had a deal. We were going to buy a new TV for our bedroom. That was it. Nothing more. When I woke up, there was a basket by my coffeepot that held three bags of my favorite whole [...]

07/28/11--11:13: Colby & the TRADE (chan 1356018)

World Series rings are not won based on a player’s potential. Neither are League championships, Division championships, or even single season games. It’s that simple. While I appreciate that Colby Rasmus has incredible potential, it was time for him to move on from St. Louis. He wasn’t happy here. He never would be either. A [...]

08/04/11--08:31: Yadi’s Bad Call (chan 1356018)

Jeff Passan, a well-known hater of the St. Louis Cardinals, wrote a column yesterday about the issue of player-umpire relations. While I agree with Passan that more needs to be done to fix this problem, I found it interesting that he waited until a St. Louis Cardinal, in this case Yadier Molina, made a dramatic [...]

This summer has been beyond busy and moved at lightspeed. Sadly, my blog has fallen by the wayside. I plan on remedying that in the upcoming months with a new look. Until then, here are some photos from The Great Forest Park Balloon Race and Glow.   Tagged: 2011, Balloon Race, Family, Forest Park, friends, [...]
