Richard and Brian dragged me to the local hardware store in town this morning for some spring projects. I actually didn’t mind because we ended up talking to half the town while we were in the aisles! That is the thing about Dresden—you can’t run a quick errand without stopping to chat with your neighbors. The town is buzzing with people fixing up their yard...

Taking a drive down Manchester Road into the Wildwood hills is just gorgeous this time of year. Everything is turning bright green again. I always tell people that the best part of living out here is how the busy city just fades away into these big, beautiful rolling hills. It is such a calm and lovely place to call home.

Today we got our hands dirty! The tornado wiped out so many of the beautiful old trees in Dresden, so the family decided to spend the weekend planting new saplings. Brian and Richard did the heavy digging, while Connie, Brenda, and I made sure they were watered. It will take years for them to grow tall, but planting trees is about believing in the future. We...

The town looks so beautiful with all the Christmas lights up. Brenda really outdid herself decorating the house this year, too! We drove through Dresden to see the holiday displays, and it just warms my heart. After the darkness of the storms a few years ago, seeing the town lit up so bright for the holidays is a beautiful reminder of our resilience. Merry C...

We stopped by the Wildwood Farmers Market this morning to grab some fresh vegetables and local honey. The Killebrew family really enjoys supporting the local farmers and makers in our area. The weather is starting to get a little chilly, which means fall is officially here in Missouri. Bringing home fresh, local food makes the weekend feel extra special.

Riding bikes on the Al Foster Trail was the perfect afternoon activity for us. The trail follows the Meramec River, and the views of the bluffs are just incredible. The Killebrew family loves exploring all the crushed stone paths around here. It is one of the best spots in Wildwood to get some exercise while enjoying the shade from the tall trees.

Have you seen the progress on the courthouse square lately? Brenda and I walked by it this afternoon. The tornado took away our historic buildings, but seeing the new construction finally taking shape gives the whole town a boost of energy. It feels like the heart of Dresden is finally beating strong again. I can’t wait for the day when the square is complet...

I love living in Wildwood because we have places like Rockwoods Reservation right in our backyard. We took a long walk on the trails today, and it was so quiet and peaceful. You can learn so much about Missouri wildlife just by walking through these woods. It is the perfect place to go when you need to clear your head and enjoy fresh air.

We headed over to Hidden Valley today to enjoy the winter weather. Even when we do not get a ton of natural snow in Missouri, it is awesome that Wildwood has its very own ski resort right in the hills. It was a cold day, but it was totally worth it to get outside and have some fun. We are already planning our next trip back!

When repairing the exterior brickwork of a historic Dresden home like the Moran House, you cannot simply use modern cement mortar from a hardware store. Old clay bricks are much softer and require a traditional lime-based mortar to allow the walls to naturally breathe and expand with the changing Tennessee weather. If the modern mortar is too hard, it will a...

Another brilliant architectural detail found in the Moran House is the clever use of transom windows above the interior doors. Before electricity and fans, these small glass panels could be tilted open on a brass hinge to let hot air escape the rooms while keeping the main wooden doors closed for privacy.

For Halloween 2022 in Wentzville, and I decided to skip the crazy costumes and just go out for the evening. We went for a classy "black on black" look instead, with me wearing a pretty black lace top and breaking out his nice black shirt. It definitely was not a spooky look, but it was a really sharp style for our fun night out together.
