When our boys were younger we always made homemade tacos on Christmas. We haven’t done it in years until today! Oh yes, we fry them. 😋

Cheers!

Grandkids spending the night. Brogan joined them watching A Christmas Story.

Leftover mashed potatoes from Thanksgiving = potato pancakes

First snow of the season. Brogan had to go out and play.

Didn’t know spaghetti was finger food? My nephew says it is.

Went to Costco this afternoon thinking it would be better than going Wednesday. I’m not so sure. It was way busier than I thought it would be. It was way worse that a typical weekend day. Guess I was delusional.

Nice harvest!

Sunday we had some pictures taken of the grand kids. They melt my ❤️

The holiday season has officially started! My MIL use to always make “scrabble” and my wife has continued the tradition. My 96 yo FIL always looks forward to it.

My 7 yo grand daughter got my phone yesterday and made lots of videos. She was using the "6, 7" lots. I don't get it. I'm thinking she's practicing to be an influencer.

I see that CBS chose not to air this part. It probably explains much of what they did decide to air.

He really wanted to help pass out candy last night!

Grand kids off to Halloween activity at school!

Celebrated my Father-in-law's 96th birthday last night!

This place has become one of our favorite places to eat in the KC metro! It's amazing! It's farm to table. The entree was a double cut pork chop and desert is carrot cake. It was divine!

My youngest granddaughter dancing to the new Taylor Swift album. Yes, it’s vinyl. 🙂

Happy #SunriseSunday from Kansas City!

Forgot to post this picture of a couple of helpers at the first winery we visited a couple weeks ago.

What’s going on with Bluesky?

BREAKING: The director of the presidential library and museum in Abilene, Kansas, said he was suddenly told to resign or be fired. He refused to give the Trump administration a historic sword from the museum’s collection.

I know this is a first world problem however, the place I buy my green coffee beans has no Costa Rica beans and when I looked at the other varieties, they are out of about 60% of all beans. When I emailed they said they can't get it off the ships! I've never had an issue in 3 years until now!

Smoked a pork shoulder for dinner. 😋

Went to Hermann MO wineries the past couple of days. We had a visitor in front of our house this morning!

Learned something new today. Grandkids came over and we’re watching Salish. I had never heard of it. I guess she has a cosmetic line at Sephora which we ordered something for Christmas for our oldest granddaughter. I guess the marketing worked. 🤷

Vaccines save lives. And no, they do not cause autism.

Poor guy. Had his teeth cleaned and he’s still under the influence of anesthesia.

Saw this guy on my walk this morning.

NYC drivers didn’t disappoint! Wild and crazy. 🤪 🤪🤪

Nice view for lunch today in Westport, CT

Smoked a brisket and some sausage today.

Took the grandkids to Dicks Sporting Goods that has a rock climbing wall. They had a blast!

Had a greeter on our walk to the park a little bit ago.

Had a great time this weekend with the grandkids and cousins in St. Louis. Went to the City Museum and had a blast!

I know brie is controversial although this is the best. Brie in puffed pastry. Also local cantaloupe.

Sunset in Lausanne, Switzerland from 1 year ago today.

Tomatoes from the garden and local corn. Grilled burgers too. 😋

A great summer night for baseball. Go @kansascityroyals9.bsky.social

This guy is so scared of storms. One can through this afternoon and he got up here and displaced me. I was sitting here.

The baby in this picture is my youngest granddaughter who turned 7 today! I should say 7 going on 13!

Had an onlooker while I was taking pictures tonight.

This guy (or gal) was out grazing this morning while we were on our walk.

Happy sunset Sunday!

My friend, David Pepper of Ohio, wrote a book called Laboratories of Autocracy . This is what he was talking about. Our states have been run as authoritarian proving grounds for decades. What they’ve done to us, they plan to do to the entire country.

Happy sunrise Thursday!!
