If you really want to hear the Blues come on ta ol' St Lou

Mama's Pride used to sing about it and next week were are going back to visit family and friends in St Louis. This will be a short "whirl-wind" visit from Friday night the 13th to Sunday morning the 15th.

The reason for the trip is Pam's Grandmothers 90th Birthday. Grandma Billie is also Jack's Great Grandmother and it is important that we all get together to mark this big event.

Beyond the Birthday, I plan to visit Greg Manning, my cousin Candy, and my daughter Jennifer. Greg and Candy have been out to visit us in the past. Guess that puts the ball in Jennifer's court. We will be staying at our home away from home the Westin. This time it is in St. Louis across from Busch Stadium.

After the trip I will update you on the visit and some pictures of the family.
