Colorado Rails & Aspen Trails Trip-Part 1

It’s traveling time!! We weren’t able to get tickets for the 2023 Albuquerque Balloon Fest for Todd, Nancy, and us, so we found this bus trip.  (I really enjoy train travel and I thought Ken would too.) It turned out to be a good trip with a lot of great memories. **Day 1 – Travel […]

Junk Jaunt 2023 (Our last Junk Jaunt trip)

We never spend our whole time on Junk Jaunt actually junk jaunting. We like to explore and fish. We drove out to Calamus Lake to see how low it was.  No boats launching here!! We always enjoy fishing at Tom and Bonnie’s. Crappie and bass are fun to catch and most of them are really […]

Steele Family Picnic

The weather was very hot this year for the Steele Family Picnic.  Instead of having horseback rides, we did a water slide down the north side of the Party Barn. It seemed to be a big hit.   Jim Ebke came this year and brought his three boys.  

Grandpa's 70th Birthday Party

Aaron and Kalie invited us for supper to celebrate Grandpa’s birthday.  Jillian and Blaise came to Nebraska early so they were able to come and celebrate with us too. The more the merrier!! It was a special birthday.

Minnesota Trip 2023

We made our annual trip to Wee Villa in Minnesota with Mark and Chris.  This is the first year that Annie didn’t go with us and we missed her. We did get to see a few loon and a few eagles. The four of us did make it to the Elizabeth auction and then across […]

Goodbye to an old friend

It’s been a few years since we’ve driven the old blue/white pickup anywhere, so we finally had Martell Recycling come and haul it away. 1990 – our vacation to Colorado 1994- the truck helped us move our buildings from Hickman to the farm. The kidnapper was still in the back. 🙂 .   2004 – unfortunately […]

Emma's 8th Birthday Party

Here are the pictures from Emma’s 8th birthday party. It was fun to watch the water balloon and water gun fights . . . from a distance.  Three generations!  Good ice cream and cake. Micah in the bounce house.

Easter 2023

Dennis and Carol hosted Easter. Here are the pictures from the Easter egg hunt. The playhouse was a big hit too!!

Branson Trip 2023

Since I’m posting this a year later the descriptions will be brief. We had a wonderful trip to Branson.  We took a train trip through the Ozarks. Most of it was pretty, but there were a few trashy places. I guess trains are noted for going through the elite part of town. We did enjoy […]

Junk Jaunt 2022

This year for Junk Jaunt we went out a day early which meant we needed to find something to do.  We had talked about tanking but the river was too low. So I suggested Axe Throwing and Dennis lined up a tour at a Bison Ranch. So on Thursday we were the first customers for […]
