Family Time

That’s my dear bride of 30 years in the background, my youngest son in the foreground, and in the middle: my grandson! Family time is the best. By the way, grand-parenthood comes highly recommended!

5 Mile Bridge

I love this little bridge! It is a little more than the half way point on a favorite bike ride that I take.
I love this little bridge! It is a little more than the half way point on a favorite bike ride that I take. Located near this bridge are some beautiful barns that I have previously posted here and here. The road I take is called Old Stage Road and it basically follows the Illinois River, winding through the peaceful countryside.

Back to Mattheissen Park for this image. It is a long way donw, but then you can explore the dells, waterfalls and winding paths. I love taking walks with my family here.

Carly

This was taken after the very talented cast and crew of Minooka High school performed the musical, "How To Succeed in Business Without Really Trying." The performances were EXCELLENT! There is just something about this picture that I like, so that's why I posted it. Carly, my youngest daughter, is on the right facing away from the camera :)

It wasn't exactly a good day for riding, but for a Spring that just can't seem to find the Midwest, it wasn't so bad. This was taken on the Illinois River Bridge @ Morris.

mom and dad

Mom and dad have been walking together for 54 years. They are the finest example of committed love that I have ever seen, and I am grateful.
