Newest Nephew!

I just have to add these photos of my newest nephew Avishi, the fifth and (they say) the last! child of Brother Jimmy and SIL Elana...

May 14th: Brother Dan's Birthday..

OK so I didn't get a photo of my brother Dan but he did come out to spend the night, and brought his 15 year old son Zach who is an amazing guitar player.  We all went to Washington MO and hung out at the Bier Deck, then had gourmet pizza at the American Bounty wine bar, Yum! Our favorite places to eat and chill!

 

Here's a photo of nephew Zach Fendelman rocking out on his guitar in the great room...

May 14th: Rebecca and Aaron

Rebecca and Aaron Jaques came from Tennessee to join us for a bit of RnR.  Here they are relaxing on the porch on a chilly morning after breakfast....

May 12th: The Walking Wegges

This is the year for walkers at Concord Hill!   Our first walkers of the year year are Nancy and Bill Wegge who are spending 3 weeks walking the Katy Trail.  This a pretty ambitious project and a good test of a marriage too!  They were only going to stay one night, but ended up spending two because of the rain.    Big tip for walkers, Dry Shoes are Very Important!  Next stop, the Apple Gate Inn in Augusta.  I really enjoyed having you guys for a few days, and I'll never look at walking the same again!

Paul Johnson, Our Mother's Day Biker...

Avid Cycler, Paul Johnson called from the Katy Trail Saturday afternoon hoping to find a room for the night. Well, he called the right place;  not only did we have a room available, we also had great food and music because our Moms, along with other family, were over for Mother's Day!  

So glad you found us Paul!

P.S. We Love Paul's License Plate! I just had to take a photo.

1st year Anniversary!

Congratulations to Jared and Jallae on their first wedding anniversary!  We're so glad you chose to spend it here.  Jared and Jallae Brannan, originally from Kansas City, are now young ministers just starting out on a new life together in a small Missouri town.  The big challenge?  Getting used to the slower pace!  Not easy for the young energetic couple who are used to constantly being on the go.  We wish you lots of happiness and a long life together following your dreams!

The Wild Bunch Rides Again!

Shawn, John, Tom, Andy, Kishen, Kevin and Chuck (center above) are members of a biking gang (Group, Club?) I call "The Wild Bunch".  These guys bike the Katy Trail several times a year and spend their last night here at Concord Hill before ending in St. Charles. They come from St. Louis and Kansas City to enjoy 5 days of serious male bonding.  Between them there is a fire fighter, a financial adviser, a beer distributor, a doctor, a radio station manager and a rock band promoter, but on the trail nothing is sacred!  Looking forward to seeing you guys next time....I think you are finally inspiring George to get on the Bike this year... at least for a short ride to the Winery!
