St. Louis, December 2015... I Forgot, Part I

So how does one go from Mid-July back to December for a post?  

Well, I'll tell you how.

I was putting away laundry on this fine Sunday morning and I was placing my Steven Jackson Rams jersey on the best hanger I own, when it occurred to me, "hey!  I might be able to get St. Louis Rams jersey's pretty cheap right now!".  

My fig'runs are based on the fact that they are now the Los Angeles Rams and there are probably a gazillion items of St. Louis clothing that was already printed up and now has to go.

Then I thought, "hmmm...  I wonder if I ever did a blog post from our St. Louey trip last December?".  

And that brings us current on how my feeble mind works.

This is the view from our Hotel Room, an hour or so before sunset.

The same view well after sunset.  I had to dry condensation off of the window and then take the picture, hence the reason it's a bit blurry. 

This is in the old court house where you had to get tickets for the Gateway Arch since they're doing a very extensive remodeling around the base of the arch.  They had a POD from the arch in there to show the size of them and whatever else.

This is the dome of the of the old court house.  I couldn't get right in the middle like I wanted to because of some junk they had sitting there.  Oh sure, I could have tried moving said junk out of the way but I think the armed guards would have frowned upon that activity.

3 of my favorite people at one of my favorite attractions!

On one side of the pod, we have "Crazy" Caleb and his tag team partner, Mama Chaos!

And in this corner?  Those other two guys...

Up top, obviously looking out the East side of the arch since you can see the mighty Mississippi.

Again, three of my favorites.

Calebber and Robby with the Old Court House dome in the background.

And of course, the obligatory shot of the Edwards Jones Dome where the Rams will contest the Arizona Cardinals on the next day.

The next day...  we're all except for Mama, dressed in our Steven Jackson jerseys and ready for grid-iron fun.  This is right outside of the coffee shop at our hotel. 

The powerful and attractive Johnny Hekker donning the number 6 jersey.  He's the Rams' punter and quite frankly, one of the few bright spots on the team the last couple of years.

Robby and Caleb ready for some action!!

So, that's part one of our trip.  Part two will cover our time at the City Museum, which was awesome!

Fourth Of July

Our annual 4th of July pic by the corn. Knee-high by the 4th of July apparently ain't what it used to be!  The corn is TALL!!

This was taken in our backyard.  The beauty of having corn planted there every other year is that when it gets tall like it is this year, it provides us shade earlier in the evening as the sun sinks behind it.

Our neighbor Mike took a bit of side angle shot in an attempt to cut the glare from the aforementioned sun.

That's all I have to say...  okay, not really, but it's all I have time for at the moment.  Happy belated 4th of July to American's and an extra special cheer for freedom for the "Brexiters"!   Good on'ya!
