Return To Blog Listing
A sixties kind of guy remembering the past and the lessons learned. I'm passing on what I've mooched from from life in hopes of sparking memories and helping others. It's just my life as best I can make it.

THANKFUL FOR FAMILY, TURKEY, PIE, GUNS, AND MOONSHINE!
Well, it isn’t all that “cut and dried”, we actually were/are thankful for much more, but the title of this post does generally sum up our Thanksgiving Day together. Thanksgiving dinner/supper is always at Charlotte and Gary’s. There i...
SATURDAY GATHERING
Although these photos are filed under a file named “The Girls Party”, it was all about the Knights Saturday. We hadn’t been together since way before my rib fiasco, so it felt good to sit out on Neena and Ron’s screened porch, occasionally l...
THAT CRAZY CHRISTMAS SEASON
The holiday of Christmas actually last from the time I either accompany my son (Corey) or my granddaughter (Kaitlyn) on their separate shopping adventures. Both experiences are always unique, as you saw from the earlier post on this year’s trip wi...
THANKSGIVING – THE MAIN EVENT
Judy and I began our Thanksgiving morning by stopping by to visit Tracy, Katie, and Eddie. Katie insisted I play Guitar Hero, but of course I was no good at it! I’d have to have that program alone in my computer room for a few weeks before I’d ...
LABOR DAY IN TENNESSEE
People in our area usually hit the lake, take in Boomsday in Knoxville, or just sit around near an outdoor grill with the family. We chose the later, as we usually do, and thoroughly enjoyed each other. The Knights stayed mostly on the screen...
DAY 3 AND 4 – DENISE AND JEFF IN TENNESSEE
By popular demand, I’m posting one more shot of the kayaking trip, with Jeff firmly planted into the hull of Ron’s kayak! It was a little wobbly at first, but he finally got his balance and enjoyed the short trip back to terra firma! Jeff...
FAT’S NOT HERE YET!
So, the gang took advantage of the first time this year that we were all available to do a lake trip. However, Monday will be here soon and Jeff and Denise will arrive to spend a few short days with us. We have a hike, a kayak trip, lots of e...
JULY 4TH 2008
As tradition has it, the “Knights & Dragons” (minus 3) gathered at Charlotte and Gary’s to celebrate this particular holiday. Charlotte and Gary recently purchased a great travel home, and Gary and Steve have been busy buildi...
Patrón Silver & Jalapeño Shooters!
The Dragons and the Knights met at Ron and Neena’s for a pre-mother’s day celebration Saturday, and it began innocent enough with cigars, beer, wine, and Wild Turkey. Later we feasted on grilled hotdogs, slaw, chili, chips, and several dessert...
EASTER SATURDAY IN BLACK AND TANS
The Dragons and Knights gathered to gorge ourselves for Jesus Saturday, and to send a salute to Jeff with black & tans for sending us Vintage Macanudo cigars to share! Little did he know at the time he mailed them, and a neat ammo clip ligh...
STEPPING OUT – EVERYTHING FROM WINGS TO PIZZA
Last Saturday Corey and I made a “wings run” as he is almost certain to say. He loves the Wild Wings Cafe in Knoxville, and I love the wings and the time with him. We both ordered Chicken Nuggets, being too lazy to strip the bones and crea...
.25 CALIBER NIGHTMARES
When Judy and I married she had a little chrome-plated .25 automatic pistol that I often carried back in the days before permits. I suppose it gave me some comfort in knowing it was discreetly stuffed down in my right hip pocket with my handkerchi...
SURGERY TRAFFIC CONTROL
Judy and I met Neena and Ron at Park West Hospital this morning just before 8 A.M. and watched while he hugged and kissed his two grandchildren. The children left with their father leaving their mother, Ron’s daughter, to stand (sit) watch with us...
A WING OF DRAGONS
It was Steve (burgundy t-shirt with Dragon wife Terri in green) that first dubbed the Poland sisters “THE DRAGONS!” I think the first time I heard him use that term was when they lived in Nashville. My wife Judy, the second oldest Dragon, ...
“NIAGARA FALLS!” – PART 3
ON TO INTERCOURSE! We drove through the first snow flurries of our season to get to Intercourse, Pennsylvania in Lancaster County, and the home of 29 covered bridges! We quickly realized that if we spent 15 minutes at all the bridges there th...
BLAME IT ON L-TRYPTOPHAN!
As you can see “Ketchup Boy” (a.k.a. Steve the Knight) just couldn’t handle the festivities Thursday! After cleaning up the turkey, the associated fixings, and sampling the pecan, chocolate pecan, pumpkin, and coconut pies, we settled in f...
“NIAGARA FALLS!” – PART 2
Slowly we turned…and arrived in Niagara Falls, Canada about sundown Wednesday and immediately began snapping photos with all the Japanese and other tourist already there. It was almost like the Beatles movie “Hard Days Night” – a snap, snap ...
“NIAGARA FALLS!” – PART 1
Suldog beat me to it (‘cause he’s sharp that way), but I had actually planned on beginning this series of post with a reference to the famous routine by the Three Stooges! Anyway, I had intended to only post one item on our trip to and fr...
THIS BLOG IS DOWN…FOR A WHILE!
Yep, that’s right…I come from a long line of Bloggers…that is great, great, great, great, great, great, great Uncle Mushy leaving a message on his Cave Blog! He was pretty slow at posting, but at least he never got called down for spelling mis...
LET’S PLAY LEAF FROG
Four of us (my Dragon and Ron’s Dragon) took a nice short hike at Frozen Head State Park yesterday. Ron and I got several nice shots with beautiful fall colors in them. The last two are Ron's (click on them to enlarge)…aren’t they great ...
