St Louis Arch and Crannell's

Sunday we visited the Arch. It was awesome standing beside the

end of the arch.  There was a museum inside (under) the Arch, a

gift store and an old general store.  The museum was outstanding.

I enjoyed the Mercantile Store.  Bought several books

Carol Crannell, my cousin Roger's wife lives just outside the city

in Fenton, Mo.  Several of Carol and Roger's children live near

her, but only Karen was able to come over while we were there.

It was nice talking over memories.  Karen remembered camping

at our pond as a kid.  She remembered Steve and Shari and just

barely remembered Scott.  She has fond memories there.  Sure

would love to have a Crannell reunion one of these years.

Carol's dog "Shadow" was very friendly and wanted

to sit on your lap.  When we were sitting on the couch

she'd back up to you and half sit on you.
