Vacationing at the Lake of the Ozarks

All the Heiders (Al, Joyce, Todd, Corey, Scott, and Ann) just wrapped up a week on vacation at Lakeview Resort on the Lake of the Ozarks. The wind was biting for most of the week; unfortunately, the crappie were not! Still, between the 6 of us, we were able to catch enough fish to fill a couple of large freezer bags.

Birthday fountain fired up


In February Ann received a 3-tier urn fountain for her birthday from her loving husband. The weather has finally warmed up enough to assemble the fountain on top of "Heider Hill" in the front yard. We filled it up and plugged in the pump, and IMHO it looks and sounds great. After Ann finishes the landscaping on the fountain level of Heider Hill, the front yard landscaping project will finally be complete (I hope).

Guys' Weekend 2008

A frozen Ronza, just begging to be baked
Chris, John (aka Brillo), Lance, Mike, and Scott gathered at Mike's place near Silex, MO on the weekend of January 12-13 for the (more or less) annual Guys' Weekend.

What do we Guys have in common? Among other things, in the late '80s we were all residents of Lindberg House in Dobson Hall at Northeast Missouri State University (now Truman State University). Nowadays we are scattered throughout Missouri ... we were pleasantly surprised to learn that Brillo and family have recently moved back to Cuba, MO after many years of exile in Texas.

What do we Guys do during a typical Guys' Weekend? In no particular order, we eat Ronzas (which Lance retrieves from Pagliai's Pizza in Kirksville), drink beer, play cards (euchre and poker), reminisce about old times, and listen to heavy metal music. Good times, indeed!

P.S. Dave Harrison, where are you?
