CONNIE ELLERBECK WAS HERE

Our days of cardboard furniture are over. My Mother came to town and change our lives. with several trips to Target we now have a new hip pad. Now all I have to do is keep it clean... bummer
A trip with my Ma & Bros. to the Rock Island Arsenal in the middle of the Mississippi River we saw tanks, guns, cemeteries and a museum. Upon entering this active military base the guard at the gate gave us a pointer. Just stick to the Map! Just one pointer mind you and he didn't even provide the map. Thank goodness for the fine people at the Iowa welcome center for all the fine maps. AHHHH now if only some one could read a map....
Mica a Cannon and his Happy Gilmore complex.
Now this is interesting, this is the Confederate cemetery used for the the prisoner that died while being help prisoner in the Rock Island Prison Barracks during the Civil War. Please note the irony of the American flag flying over their graves.

North vs. South in a thrilling reenactment. TJ & Mica play their parts well... Bravo!

Rock Island the City in Illinois has a weird fascinating with the blues brothers ( I will try to figure that one out) see my brothers getting fresh. Here we are at the beautiful Mississippi River over look in Down town Davenport, just a block from Justin's office. We are keeping an eye on our bridges. Look at you Minnesota.
