While updating this web site I tripped on this article in the Daily Herald from last week. Be sure to give a listen to the audio clips too.

Brandon's grandfather took the two of us fishing for the day. He hired a guide and we went out on Richland Chambers Reservoir. This would prove to not be any ordinary fishing trip. Grandpa hired a guide named Cory to take us out on Richland Chambers Reservoir to show us the right places to find the best fish.

This lake is stocked with Hybrid Striper/White Bass. These fish can grow up to 10 pounds. They get their size and fight from the Striper and their good taste from the Bass. They are a popular sporing fish all over the south.

We went to reunion arena to see Govenor Rick Perry and President George Bush take the stage for an election eve rally at Reunion Arena. M.C. was Mark Davis from WBAP.

It was an opportunity to go see the President. I got the kids from school and we drove to Dallas. We had lunch at the Hard Rock Cafe along with Lee and Shelby.

We had tickets from a contact at the Builders Association. The tickets allowed us access to the preferred seating but not to the floor. We ended up we a pretty good view of the stage.

Since this was our first Christmas in our new house, we invited everyone over for lunch. Elisabeth could not join us but she will be home next week. It was great to have Boney with us for the day. Tammy made a ham and dump soup for lunch. We opened presents and watched a little of March of the Penguins. John and Brandon went outside to throw his new football around.

Congratulations and thank you to John for his wonderful Turkey dinner Christmas day. The Turkey was delicious. He labored all day to put together a full meal including stuffing. We all went home stuffed.
In attendance were Boney, Jim & Jean, Zach & Casey, plus the four of us.

It's been 20 years, almost to the day since we all went to Gunnison and the Quarter Circle Circle Ranch. Ok, so were in southern Colorado and I notice that we are near Cripple Creek, Colorado. So I pack up the family and we drive the long and winding roads up to Cripple Creek. We get there and it's a bikers hangout and a Casion strip. There is not one restaturant that allows kids to enter. The Brass Ass was there but it's a casino.
I was only 12 when we were there last time. Was it always that way or has it changed?????
