MORE FROM THE BEACH!!!
The first photo was taken in front of the Blue Anchor restaurant in Boca Raton Florida. I was so intrigued by the history of the pub that I had to give it another look. Notice the writing on the right of my movie starlet "W Younger & Co'. That is the name of the original owner in London England. In addition to the history and great atmosphere the food is good.
The second and third photos were taken from the same section of beach but at different times of the day. The one of me is from the morning and notice I can climb out on the rocks on dry land. The photo of Nancy is from the afternoon and the tide is coming in thus water surrounds the same rocks. The older I get the more I marvel at the way God created his world.

Pictures four and five are also from different times of the day. Picture four is the afternoon and the tide is coming in and picture five is the out going tide.
I enjoy all of God's world but the beach is my favorite.

A WEEK AT THE BEACH!!!!!!!
Nancy and I had an opportunity to spend a week in Deerfield Beach Florida.
The majority of our time was at the beach However the first photo was taken across the street from our condo on our last afternoon in Florida. Because I am shooting up into the sky you lose real perspective as the building is actually thirteen stories high. I hope you can tell it is the Goodyear blimp as it is headed south toward Miami.


The second photo is the movie starlet that was with me on the trip. Am I lucky or what. This location is one block from our condo and you walk down to arrive at the beach.
The third photo is only of this old guy with his Cardinal 2006 play off t-shirt.
The movie starlet returns with a pose on the beach. This stretch of beach for several miles is very interesting as it feature many rocks that appear out of no where especially at low tide.
The old guy returns with a beach pose all decked out in his Cardinal 2006 World Series long sleeve t-shirt.
The last photo is of Nancy standing in front of the door to the Blue Anchor restaurant in Boca Ratan Florida. This restaurant was originally a pub in London England dating back to the 1880's. They claim that in the 20's Winston Churchill came through the doors many times to partake of pub food and drink. Sometime in the late 40's the restaurant was torn down in London and rebuilt in Boca. The restaurant was historical, atmospheric and the food was good.
Another restaurant I would recommend is Cap's place in Pompano beach Florida.

Cap's was intriguing as the only way in is by a motor launch on the inter coastal waterway. The atmosphere is great as it is constructed from the hull of an old whaling boat. The restaurant has been there since 1928. It is said that Al Capone, and Harry Truman frequented Cap's. We spent a Benjamin but the meal was our best ever sea food dinner.

A STAR IS BORN AT THE
EDWARD JONES DOME!!!!!!!!!!
A week before we left town our oldest granddaughter and her high school band performed in a band competion at the
Edward Jones Dome.
In the first photo we show maybe 40% of the actual band that was performing.
In the next three photos I used my cropping tool and zeroed in on my favorite band member.
Even thought they band did not win the competion grandma and I thought they were the BEST. Especially the play of our favorite band member.

MORE PHOTOS FROM FAMILY RETREAT AT CAMP NE O TEZ
I realize the retreat was about a month ago but the photos came in while we were in Florida.
The first photo features my adopted grandson BENNIE. I let his parents Gerri and Eric join in the photo but I didn't necessarily adopt them. { only kidding} I really am known as Bennie's St Louis grandpa.

In the second photo we have my friend Mike and his ever lovin Denise. If you know me very well you know I try hard to have younger friends.
In the third photo Denise makes a second appearance along with her friend Karen. If I ever need nursing care Karen is my personal choice. She took wonderful care of my friend Dean last spring.
The last two photos feature the evening entertainment Karaoke and songs performed by some of McKnight roads great young people. The one sitting in both photos has my hair style but also has some of my blood. He is my son Edward.

BETTER LATE THAN NEVER
I realize that it was two weeks ago that Stevie and Jesse said their vows. But I was using a film camera and then we took off for seven wonderful days in Florida.
The first photo features Jesse and Stevie stating their vows.
The second photo is the first time they have been introduced as Mr. And Mrs. Haupt.
The third photo is a picture of their leaving the church and it features the very special touch of using sparklers to light the way.
The fourth photo is their entrance at the reception.
The last photo is of the toast given by David McCoy. Sorry I am so late.
