All the Pages Are My Days - the first 12 years

Though the first snow of the season doesn’t usually last long (and if fact, last night’s snow should be mostly gone by sundown), it sure is beautiful in the bright morning sunlight. Here’s a selection of shots from around our house this morning:
A little after 8:30 PM it began snowing here in Lindsborg. Our first snow of the season and our first snow in many, many years. The snowflakes are big and moist; the deck and trees are already turning white with close to an inch of accumulated snow. Now I know this post will seem silly … Read more
Before this election, I simply couldn’t imagine long lines to vote, especially in a small town like Lindsborg.
Well, we knew there was an occasional creek running through our property when we bought it, and today we have proof. It rained most of the night, and now Cow Creek really is a creek. Here are a few photos showing the water level after 1.5 inches of rain overnight. It confirms that the back … Read more
I still don’t have a lot of time for posting, but did want to share a couple of nice photos I took late yesterday afternoon. We were about 3 miles southwest of Lindsborg for the first photo, and a couple of miles west for the 2nd. The first image is looking northeast, with the late … Read more

It turned out it was just one of those things that can happen when doing a long-distance real-estate transaction. There were multiple parties involved and differing interpretations of effective dates. Anyway, we’ll find out Monday. We’ve … Read more
at least not today. We were supposed to close today, the 7th of September. We signed all the papers on Friday, had them notarized, etc and sent them off for arrival and recording today. Except that that most wonderful of consumer loan companies, US Bank (bad company, no link), screwed up the paperwork so bad … Read more
One of the earliest web pages I created focused on Lindsborg, with a few photos and links to Lindsborg area attractions. Though that page is no longer current, I did rescue this photo of Lindsborg from the air that I created almost 10 years ago. Based on a scan from a local calendar, I added … Read more
