On Saturday we attended the premiere of “Sons of Georgia,” a Civil War made here in St. Louis by homeschoolers. The filming of the video was beautiful, the story was touching and there was also a good bit of humor.
I did the filming for the premiere event and edited the video above.

A couple of weeks ago we visited the Inyart family and a had a great time hanging out with David. He is quite the small engine mechanic, but even more than that he’s a great teacher.
He helped us work on our four wheeler’s carburetor and he let us practice MIG welding and plasma cutting.

Well, it’s 11:26pm and I just had the last bite of solid food that will be passing my lips for some time. Tomorrow morning I’ll be having a surgery to remove my impacted wisdom teeth-the X ray is below:
I don’t need my WISDOM teeth because everyone says I have a SMART-mouth.
(No, I didn’t come up with that while I was on laughing gas.)
Poor me-I’ll have to live on an Ice Cream diet for a few days…
Mom & Noah had a pleasant visit with our neighbor, Mrs. Myra Auzat (the "au is pronounced like a long "o") in Crystal City on Sunday. Mrs. Auzat will be 97 yrs. old later this year...though one wouldn't know it to meet and converse with her. She is recovering at a rehab facility from a recent diagnosis of pneumonia. She seems to be getting stronger and is walking again. She told us stories about growing up in Crystal City as a little girl. She remembers the Mississippi River freezing over during the winter and folks even ice skating on there. (We've heard this from others who grew up there in that time era too). She told us about her father's business there....Deluxe Grocery and Department Store in Crystal City. She said the grocery was on the first floor with the department store upstairs. She remembers seeing the upper windows decorated for the holidays and how beautiful it was. Her dad also worked as the butcher at the grocery. She got to spend evenings there sometimes. She was an only girl with one older brother and two younger brothers. Amazingly enough, she told us that her older brother came up to see her too! He's nearing 100. It's so delightful to hear from his generation about life here so long ago, especially right here in our local area. What a blessing to get to visit with her.
