Hijacked!!
The kitchen of 4667 was located in the middle of the house. Because of its location, and likely its function, the kitchen received an abnormal amount of wear.
Pictured here is the original floor pattern with giant tear in the middle. As Anne and I finish up our own kitchen, I’m slightly nostalgic for the old Brunswick home. It was a good space. And you hardly noticed any dirt on the floor with that pattern.

Ta-da!
Thanks to Hijacker Al, I too now have the power to make my posts appear on the Crone & Geezer blog!
This is Kevin by the way.
And now I disappear again… like paper flowers in a super-hexa-flexagon!
That’s right M&D/Crone and Geezer, there is a new admin in town and he looks a lot like the old admin, only with more or less facial hair – depending on the day of the month. I don’t much like to shave. I wonder where I get that from?
Scowl all you want, Mr., it’s not going to change the fact that I have hijacked your blog and invited others to do the same. It’s not unlike how I would look for opportunities to swipe that pencil or pen from your shirt pocket. Those are some decent writing implements, and very handily located.
Oh, look who’s decided to join us…
Sure, you saw this coming. Nothing you could do to stop it really. It is the natural progression of ignored blogs. They get themselves hijacked!
All family welcome to share Crone and Geezer stories and pics, old and new. Just send me an email if you want to become an author here. Or just leave comments, anyone can comment. Perhaps our stories will inspire the crone and geezer to share their own.

Alan sent us the directions for posting photos and so I have read them but I am not sure I can actually do this. Vern was at the computer last night and he just might be getting interested in photo stuff so I will give him a day or two to read the directions. Nick took Vern’s camera along to lunch on our anniversary (September 2). We went to a very nice place in Golden, The Briarwood Inn. Nick seemed to think it would appeal to the “older” crowd. Well, that is what we are and I liked the place. Vern seemed to like it also. If I can get the photos posted, you will all be able to see how nice the place is. The Briarwood Inn also has “Afternoon Tea” on Friday and Saturday. I sure hope someone comes to visit me on those days as Vern is not interested in Tea! Nick left on Sept. 3 and it is quiet here. Kai was sick for a few days so we just cuddled. He was much improved by Saturday!

Nick flew in from Portland on Saturday. Dave went and picked him up -5:15 PM arrival. We have been busy visiting and cooking since he arrived. Nick seems to be on a quest: he is searching through Vern’s negative files and then scanning some of the negatives. This search has really gotten Vern interested in what Nick is doing and he has spent time with Nick at the computer! Both Dave and Nick seem to be enjoying one of Vern’s “balance exercises” so now when either walks into the room they pick up the beach ball and lob it at Vern. Sometimes he manages to hit it back! This exercises is supposed to be done while Vern is standing but the boys are tossing the ball at him when he is sitting or standing!!!!
