Classic Rock – November 25, 2011

rock_20111125

Belated Rock Today’s Classic Rock entry is a belated birthday wish. Whoever painted it likely had their greeting to Margo K. finished in time, but we at Exploring Lincoln missed the special day. At least, I am assuming we did. I just noticed the new paint job today, and saw that the snow around the rock was undisturbed, meaning that ... Read More »

I am well aware of the significance of the 16th birthday, as my daughter – also an Abigail – will hit hers next month. And with that comes the request for a drivers license. I’m not ... Read More »

Indigo Rock

Indigo? More of a pink, really. The 13th birthday is a momentous one for many reasons. First, you are officially a teenager. The tween stage is left behind, and the path toward full-blown adulthood is begun in earnest. The potential for a driver’s license is only 3 short years away. Of course, it does mean that you will have to ... Read More »

Welcome Home, Ben

A Soldier’s Return Today’s Classic Rock entry was submitted by fellow Lee Academy alumnus Lorna Stevens. When her oldest son Ben returned from a tour in Iraq in 2007, Lorna’s family painted the Rock to welcome him home. The Rock has long been a community billboard, and I cannot think of a nobler purpose than saluting the men and women ... Read More »

This card was custom crafted with spray paint and love. And like every good birthday, cake ... Read More »

Anyone can go to the card section at Wal-Mart and pay $2 for a card filled with words that came from someone else. But the author of toady’s Classic Rock entry went the extra mile, and hand-crafted a card that ... Read More »
