Fun Cars over the Years

Image
The intent of this page was to see if we could learn if "you are what you drive" is true. Funny, as I posted these pics and reviewed the cars, I'm not sure I can draw a conclusion. There's sports cars, utility vehicles, and cars that are just ready to put a bunch of miles on. Anyway, I've tried to make a comment on each one. Hopefully, this is somewhat interesting.  At a minimum, cars are a big investment and it was a history lesson for Linda and I on what investments we've made and how those investments turned out. roughly in order of acquisition Camaro <<get a pic of original to replace the stock one here>> Great Car. Loved every mile I drove it. Story of it's demise: my friend didn't have any albums or tapes of his own at home, so he used to bring a tape recorder and ride with me in my car and record my stereo.

Now that's entertainment

Image
Sharing some of the entertainment from when we were little. Figure I better share these now or they'll be gone. My favorite was the Herculoids. Powerful heroes. Cool Characters. Always battling. Sacrificing for the other guy. It was actually a pretty cool way to learn some values. Also, loved Lancelot Link, Secret Chimp. Apes played all the main characters. Pretty creative and funny. Christian Music We love the old hymns, but a lot of the modern music - not so much. However, we have been urged to try to incorporate this into our lives. Here's a couple we like. From Willow Creek: Tim Janis merges wonderful images of the world with beautiful well done music: Kirk's favorite Christmas song: Return to Kevin and Linda page:  Click Here

Family Recipes

 Family Recipes The intent of this page is to share some family favorites. Grandma Fried Chicken (served on top of the pool table/ping pong cover) <<Searching for Grandma's Fried Chicken Recipe. Was there one? Was it just the "fresh" chickens from the back yard?>> She used to host 50 of us and always had a huge table full of great food laid out. Part of that was big pans full of friend chicken. It was the best. Linda's Famous Deep Dish Pizza We were Chicago Deep Dish Pizza lovers. Some of our favorites: Found ourselves in California with no good options, so Linda learned to make deep dish that was even better than Chicago!

At one point, they made Kevin a CD for his 50th birthday. Very special.  The singing never stopped  And 13 years after the album, they still sing when they get together, but now there are some brand new babies who are joining the group Interviews We love those interviews Here's a few that are pretty interesting to look at years later Kirk Jess Tripp More Artistic Talent Sharing this link to Cousin Katherine's Photo Blog.
