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.

LEFT TO OUR OWN DEVICES AGAIN!
Do you remember back when I posted about Steve gettin’ on his Mustang (click here), well, we were left to our own devices (doing what we please) again today, and the ol’ hundred mark rolled around again! Ron is in California, visiting his bro...
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 ...
A NIGHT OF HIGHS AND LOWS
The family clique, with the exception of Charlotte and Gary, our usual crowd, planned to meet at Carrabba’s Italian Grill at 5 PM tonight. Gary had a root canal done this week, so he was not up to all our frivolity and cackling! Can’t blam’em...
THE KNIGHTS ATTEND THE “OBAMA CLEARANCE”
Like millions of gun owners have been doing in their own areas, we attended the local R. K. Gun Show at the Expo in Knoxville, Tennessee. Everyone was calling it the “Obama Clearance”, and the place was packed, but most of the buying seemed to b...
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...
ON BUZZARD’S BLUFF
Ron had to get his car’s oil changed today, so I picked him up at the Ford place and took him on a road trip around Harriman before a planned lunch at Ruby Tuesday’s. We first explored a small road that twisted its way up Walden’s Ridge no...
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...
THE KNIGHTS AND DRAGONS CELEBRATE MEMORIAL DAY
We still believe in segregation, as seen in these two photos: The Dragons on one end of the porch and The Knights on the other end. On the Dragon end there is loud, almost irritating (almost because we’re accustom to it) cackling. Most would c...
SATURDAY NIGHT ON THE TOWN
You can only hike and look for wildflowers so much. Sometimes you just have to take a break and go out on the town. Saturday night we all met at Bonefish in Knoxville and started out with Bang-Bang Shrimp, and great bread dipped in olive oil, sa...
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...
.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...
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, ...
SPECIAL MOMENTS WE SHARE KEEP US STRONG
Yesterday Gary (left), Ron, and I went to the Smoky Mountain Brewery that just opened in Turkey Creek in Knoxville, Tennessee. We each enjoyed “red pale ale” which is not advertised, but is from their seasonal menu – you have to as...
“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 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...
