Papa’s favorite ribs

Congratulations, Amy!

My friend Amy’s boyfriend proposed last night! Go congratulate her!

Next time I'll just have some ice cream

An old friend makes the news

When Rockford and I first got married and moved to Missouri, we didn’t have much in the way of furniture. Fortunately for us, the offices of the newspaper where we worked were also moving. And they were getting rid of all of their stuff. So we loaded the office’s gigantic orange sofa onto our moving
