Dennis and Joe

I’m going to kill two birds with one stone. Joe’s Birthday was April 10th and Dennis’ FIFTYTH birthday was May 26th. This entry is dedicated to my OLDER brothers, Dennis and Joe.
(Anna, your Birthday posting is coming!)

The details are now in dispute. We're not sure who hit whom in the head with a shovel. But there was a shovel and some one did get hit with it. The picture, above, is the scene of the crime. I’m hoping, by posing it, some deep-seated memory will be jarred loose and we will finally get to the truth of the matter.

I invite Dennis and Joe to enter their testimony in the comments section of this blog. And I invite the rest of you to be the jury.

You shall know the truth, and the truth shall set you free.

Loveland Stories

Follow me, if you will, on a walk through our past. This is a view of the Loveland house as you come up the hill to the corner of 2nd and Oak. Note the porch roof over the front door. Which wee child wandered out on this roof, nearly giving our mother a heart attack?

Howard Everett

This is what they call, in the news industry, a "teaser." I will be posting more about our Cincinnati trip in the near future, but I'm behind on my birthday postings so I have to get caught up.

I know I still owe Joe a posting (April 10th) but I skipped ahead to Howard, for now...

In honor of Howard's birthday on May 1st, I've posted a picture of the Loveland homestead of Howard Everett Conley.

Did you ever wonder why Howard was named "Howard?" Mom bore ten children and Howard is the only one named after a family member.
We will ponder these and other questions, in the days and weeks ahead, in my new series "Loveland Stories."

Stay Tuned....
