me, mom and teresa, i think i was 18, this was taken the summer before i got married. we all are from the same parents. when i tell people about the age difference they assume we are from different families. Of course we are all grown the youngest is now 44. my oldest son will be 43, so theoretically mom and i could have been pregnant at the same time. omg!!!

cousin adventure 3

this weekend the boys went to the museum of transportation. The last time i was here i was about 10 years old. The museum has various examples of transportation, mostly trains d and p hamming it up by the train wheels
riding the street car
riding the mininature train
of course we had to have a picture of a motor cycle , an old Indian
this car has the largest fins i've ever seen. i think this was the singer bobby darren's care and the paint job had crushed diamonds in the finish
the tug boat
ringing the bell on the train engine
there are planes, trains and automobiles,boats, the whole place is run by volunteers and the price is inexpensive. its a great place for anyone who likes trains. I don't know about the boys but the 2 grandmas slept good that night!

Celtic Women

The Fox Theater is in downtown St Louis and my best friend and I attended the Celtic Women concert. It was wonderful! The theater opened in 1929 and originally was a movie theater. I remember attending a movie there when i was a kid. The Fox fell on hard times, restoration was started in 1981. Below are a few pictures I took when we attended the concert. I imagine the ghost of old Hollywood visiting the theater
The facade of the Fox. I like the griffins on the corners of the marque
the ceiling in the lobby.
