Briggs Mansion Ghost Hunt
Sunday evening, March 11th, we went on a ghost hunt at the Briggs mansion. It was built in 1862. The docent mentioned that, when the 3″ thick front doors were hung, Abraham Lincoln had been president a year. Wow…
We listened to history for 15 minutes, then wandered and explored for an hour.
Then we met back in the parlor and dining rooms, to listen to two mediums of good report, tell us their impressions.
Quite the evening, if nothing else, from a historical pov. A lovely old house, with more to it than meets the eye…
Groundhog Day
Half of winter is under the bridge. Celebrated St. Brigid’s day, yesterday, Groundhog day today, and, coming up, my lovely wife’s birthday! So, it’s not as dark this winter!
Nothing Says Merry Christmas, Like Scary Reindeer
Digging around the old offices, we found some scary decorations, from the sixties…
Jonquils and Gargoyles
So, spring is here in the Midwest. Warm, cool. Sunny, rainy. It changes, moment to moment. We do so enjoy the return of the flowers popping out, and the sound of the small waterfall in the pond, and Vinnie, the bouncer gargoyle. Standing by the pond, Feeling the sun on your shoulders, and hearing the birds coming out of winter retirement, is a real elixir of the soul.
It’s the little things that make life joyful…
An Irish memory
These young ladies performed in Galway, the day we were there. I
imagine that they are involved in celebration this week…

Survived the surgery
Hi
boy, the title makes it sound more serious than it was. The knee surgery went fine. Got the torn stuff outta there, and now it’s time to stretch, heal, and get ready for NYC…
The hospital staff was great. They even pulled an April fools joke on me in prep. It was my right knee that needed the surgery, but, the woman that came in to prep my leg, i.e. shave and disinfect, pulled out the LEFT knee and started to work on that one. “Um, I’m having work done on my RIGHT knee”, I said. “April fools!”, she said… Ha….
It only took an hour for the surgery, then two hours in recovery, then an hour in the room to get dressed and wheeled down to the car… Home, and then food for the first time in 22 hours. That was nice. Maggie was a great nurse. She made sure that everything went well, for her and me… Thursday, we laid low, resting and recuperating from the adventure. I had this ice thing on my knee for three days. A bladder attached to a cooler filled w/ ice and water, with tubes that connected to the knee bladder, to ice my leg. Works great…
Today, we went on our first adventure out into the world. Starbucks, Target, Kohls, and the nature shop for birdseed. That was enough today for my knee. Home now and rest it for a while, then, who knows…? I may go back to work on Monday, depends on how good I feel, swelling wise… We’ll see. Have to get out and about….
Thanks for listening and I will update later in the week…

Maggie and Tim’s gig-or-what I did for music
http://youtube.com/v/-3k5KmC8Rt4
Hi,
here is the readers digest version of our gig @ the bluegrass valentine jam. It was our very first ever, in front of people on purpose, by ourselves gig. It was great to be the opening act for all the other bands and musicians. It was good to have a chance to do our material, which isn’t standard bluegrass type stuff. Hope you like it.
