May 24th: Cross Country with Bruce and Steve...

Retired cop, Bruce Wynkoop and retired DNR (department of natural resources) dude Steve Mueller, are good pals and avid bikers from Mineapolis, MN who decided to take the Katy Trail to cut across Missouri while biking across the Entire Country.  I joined them for a yummy pasta dinner (prepared by moi) and great conversation, along with some of our local Missouri wine.  Dinner was followed by a spectacular light show courtesy of an amazing storm that was rolling in.  We all sat on the porch with our wine and Oooed and Ahhhed for about an hour as the sky lit up like the 4th of July for us!  Glad you guys rolled up the Hill, I thoroughly enjoyed the evening!

May 21st: Party time with The Zeigers and Burches!

This bunch has fun where ever they go!  They spent 3 days biking the Katy and called ahead to make sure the hot tub would be ready.  While stopping for "refreshments" at the Treloar Grill just off the Katy, they heard about our Warsteiner Beer on tap in the wine cellar and said they knew they were coming to the Right Place!  The next day we bumped into them at their next stop on the Katy, our favorite winery the Blumenhof!  Roy, Cheryl, Dave and Susan; we hope to see you back here again soon!

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.
