NO ONE WILL WIN THIS GAME..... NOPE, NEVER...........

Why I don't run anymore............

Went for a run today and was disrupted by a small group of kids who thought it would be funny to run a few yards ahead of me, screaming and yelling that they were being chased.... 

Prompted an old man to yell at me to leave the kids alone,

and two gentlemen in blue to stop me at the corner for questioning............

A small horse?????????????????

Trip to Missouri July 2014

So our trip to Marionville Missouri was to be a two week trip to visit the kids and get some items handled at the farm.

Somewhere along the way from Dade City Florida (that's near Tampa) we came upon this Chicken place

didn't stop as we were in some town with loads of traffic and I was in the wrong lane.....

ALSO  seems that every DAIRY QUEEN on our route was on the other side of the highway and we were in traffic and couldn't make the left turn.......  so no blizzard for a week........ dts a commin

Anyway got to the farm in time for fireworks and barbeque...... 

Got this family heirloom to my sister Joan....   the olelongroof brother brought this from Florida in his car.... forgot what kind, but had to take front seat out to get it in..... well it fit nicely in Joan's SUV, looks like a box truck to me......

Anyway we are here, trailer broke, have to go to Indiana to get fixed... yeah Elkhart Indiana... way up by Chitown............ didn't like that trip.

everyone is waking up, so time to put this up for now,  more later.....

oh yeah, my hearing aids broke on trip up....... so everyone is yelling at me all the time..............  I was enjoying the peace and quiet.............

Viola and Mike

So after a hecktick (sp) week, Viola decided she wanted to go to Omaha and visit her brother.  So from Elkhart Indiania we headed west on I-80 (the Elkhart trip is a whole diff story to be published later)........... 

Gary Ind wasn't too bad...... 

then came Chi town...........  Chicago on a Wednesday afternoon around 2:30 pm on I80 is pure hell..... imagine Daytona 500 on an interstate with the race vehicles being semi trucks, and we are in the middle of it with out little truck n trailer........  somehow we made it, even though we missed the "detour" I80 sign, and the guy at the toll booth directs us "exit here, turn right, go to US 41, turn right and I80 is right down the road"........   ever drive a crew cab pickup with a 40 foot 5th wheel RV through downtown Chicago at 1:30 in afternoon?   Also "right down the road equates to 10 miles............ finally get on I80 with all the semis..... 

Somewhere in this town I turn the corner and get blocked by a semi and right trailer tire hits curb.  Needless to say the rim is shot.   Ended up backing up and going wider to make the corner.... should have ran into the semi for cutting me the way he did.  OH well.......

So we stop in LeClair Iowa... to visit one of our favorite History Channel Show's Home Port...........
Viola hits it up with Mike and we get a picture:

 

 

Yep that is Viola n Mike from Antique  show. in his shop.

 

Also got a few pictures of the shop so you just have to look at them, after all I didn't take them to not share.......... LOL

 

The shop was great

College girl asked if we wanted pic together and she did a nice job of getting us with the "trade mark" vehicle

 

 

I was impressed with this VW, alas not enough toy money left

Heard a voice in the shop, and knew it was Mike

 

His bike on left, and he is standing behind girl in white shirt

Member the little white car?  now red with white top, asking price $25K

I member the show where this was bought. didn't have $2500 today

Bikes in the new shop, forgot to get what make?

AS we left, on street behind the shop, where we parked out little truck illegally (was only place it would fit) found this little guy 

 

and Viola wanted until she saw this one

still had dealer tags on this VW rag top.

 

So that was our visit, I did get Mike to autograph a sign for me.....

But Viola got the hugs.......

 

more later

Hi everyone!
I love how I keep telling myself that I will write more on the blog, but then life happens...
Anyways, this last weekend we had my little brothers birthday party.  I didn't get a lot of pictures, but I will put them up later.  It started off with a shooting party, where all of our friends and ourselves went out back to "play with our toys." 
After we got about halfway through our arsenal, we decided to take a break.  There we commenced the Nerf Gun War of the year.  (Honestly, it was just capture the flag.)  And we had all the adults and kids playing along with us.  (I think the adults had more fun than the kids did.)
I will post more later, but right now I am just wasting time in class because my website won't load. 
In Spanish, my teacher decided it was a wonderful idea to have everyone create a website as a portfolio.  And I have determined that I hate weebly.com.
Ah well,
Celebrate Life and Have Fun,
Pixie

 

Bob and Jim

 

why they got all the neat toys and all I got was leftovers.

 

 

 

Bob is two years and Jim a year older than me.

When these were taken, I didn't get to play with the big guys.

FAMILY PICTURES

So here goes an adventure that I may regret later, but here goes anyway.
I plan to post family pictures that I have.  They are of the Lee's 10 kids.
What a motley crew they are.  So over the next several blogs are pics.  If any bros and siss want the original, let me know and I'll send to you slomail.

 

behind this brand new house was a park with ball field, swings, you name it.  Also had two great hills for sledding during the winter.  If you got enough speed you could make the second hill.  I don't remember getting to the second hill very often. 

This park is also where, for 4 years in a row, I broke my left arm.  Yeah and it was during summer when school was out.

I remember Mom telling me if I broke my arm again, she would kill me.  So that year I broke my wrist, still on left side though.
