4th Party On the 2nd in BFE

4th Party On the 2nd in BFE - Part 1

My visit in Northlandia was purposely lengthened so I could attend the annual 4th of July party at the Stages in North Henderson, aka,the original BFE. When I was a resident these were smaller affairs - mostly the regulars of the Community Center, aka Neighbor Tim's garage.

Since those days, The Party has become bigger, and is something of an Event, in an otherwise eventless village. The crowd had already gathered when I got their early. I had prepared a cooler of Bloody Mary;sand a couple of beers. The food was prepared by the hosts - Tim and Carrie Stage. Before I forget, my thanks and apppreciation for a a great night.

In a scene duplicated all over the country good people gather to celebrate a nation, eat, drink, laugh and watch some fireworks.

Christopher and Megan. Do I hear wedding bells?

Momma Stage, relaxed and unsuspecting.

Momma Stage, surprised but a good trooper.

Christopher warming himself by the fire. The little place just at the center of his back and to the right of the truck is where Missy and I lived.

Finally, a fire to enjoy.

No good family party is complete without kids and those glowy thingies.

Meanwhile, Tim and Ryan are getting their salvos in place for the big show.

I know you are anxious for the big fireworks show, but I'm going to leave you for a few days with this teaser post. It was a fun night - hope to be here again next year.

Flashback Friday

Class, Or Lack Thereof The Dwight Vice gravestone in Oquawka, Illinois. I bring this old chestnut out every so often just to remind me that class is classless. Dwight Vice was killed in his home near Oquawka in 2001. It was one of those things that can generate crime: two guys thought Dwight had a lot of money stashed at home because of his pot-selling sideline to supplement his fishing job. Not really one of those big drug deals gone-bad things. Marijuana was, according to the trial, about the only stuff Dwight sold. But these two guys barge into the house and killed Dwight and attempted to kill his 11 year old kid, Darryl, before they took off with what money they could find. His son, now 23, was stabbed in the back and left for dead. He survived and is wheelchair bound and has undergone several surgeries to repair his wounds. He will be paralyzed for life. None of this is pleasant. Reading the f...

The Mary Davis Home - Part 2

None of these pictures were taken by me, they came right from the MDH website. I am posting these so that friends who have never seen inside where I worked can gain access. After 27 years I have many stories, tales and acquaintances. But, I wouldn't know how to express them appropriately in a few paragraphs. I enjoyed 98% of my stay there and hope I made a difference in the lives of a fraction of the kids who entered. The original MDH at this site was just the front part. The large red-roofed area in back was added on in the 90's. This is the Jerry Carlton library. It was unofficially named after one of the counselors who truly loved the place. He passed away around 2002, I think. Mr. Farber looks like he is explaining a few things to a client. The classroom. Activity area with the gym behind the windows. Another shot of the classroom. It was a little different area to teach since we had 2 classes and 2 teachers i...

Florida Air Museum - Part 3

Welcome back to a pretty neat tour of the Florida Air Museum in Lakeland Florida. There's a lot to see and a couple of the old Geezer Gold Wing guys are already sitting down instead of walking around looking at the exhibits. That's John who is wore out and making a call to his wife. In all honesty, John was pretty well bushed before the ride. He told me his daughter's family was down from one of the Carolina's with the grand kids and he must have played with them too much. He's about to take off on his own and head for home, but he's going to miss a couple of neat things out on Hangar A. But, before we walk over there, we have lots yet to see here. If you saw The Aviator with Leonardo DiCaprio playing Howard Hughes, you'll remember that he went up in a plane during the filming of one of his movies to prove a point about flying. He crashed trying to execute a roll and this is a picture of the plane he crashed. No...
