Let’s celebrate democracy!! Do you need somewhere to watch the election returns? Come on over to our house. Brisket from the pit boss and Middle H throwing pizzas together. You can stop for a moment or stay until the final results are in.

DM for our address. Stop over after 8pm

Go, Go, Go!! Go where? VOTE!!

Let us not lose sight of the amazing gift we have been given that we can peacefully, safely and freely go choose who we believe should serve us.

Let’s all vote and then diligently work together for a stronger City and State.

[Rich Merkouris @rpmlive]

One final night on the campaign trail. Thank you for listening and considering all the different perspectives. It would be a great honor to continue serving. I will seek to continue to diligently work with others to keep Sioux Falls strong.

Please vote on Tuesday!!

One basic goal on Sundays….use every plate!!

[Rich Merkouris @rpmlive]

We are going to get wild tonight. One for each of the H’s and an extra.

It’s Fanta Friday!!

[Rich Merkouris @rpmlive]

Proverbs and toothpaste….could be an interesting sermon tomorrow. Hopefully, it’s helpful!! Kick off your summer with us at King of Glory tomorrow at 9:30.

[Rich Merkouris @rpmlive]

I think that is what was recommended in the safety manual.

Only one night into summer and the air mattress is already filling the family room. So long bedtime!!

Fueled by cold Kraft MacNCheese in Elementary……being trained to be fueled by cold pizza for all those college years.

What is your go to breakfast that you know would be frowned upon?

[Rich Merkouris @rpmlive]

Training is going well. We have some alignment issues for consistent lines but overall we are heading in the right direction. I should be worked out of a job in the very near future.

Tell me it’s Mother’s Day via your Google search.

We love concert day at Eugene Field. He has the moves!! Did he get them from mom or dad?

[Rich Merkouris @rpmlive]

Some nights there are two houses visited and some there are twenty visited. Each house is an opportunity to ask, what excites you about our city and what concerns you? It is really helpful to hear answers to both.

[Rich Merkouris @rpmlive]

Let’s Go!!!

I think we will be a little late for work tomorrow. Sometimes Minnesota sports does not disappoint.

[Rich Merkouris @rpmlive]

The marching band journey begins!! Oh my, we almost have a High Schooler in the house. This may also be the last time she lets me drop her off.

A nice night out to discuss all the critical stuff in life and give some fashion tips. They love wearing my t-shirts so that must mean I have pretty good style that they want to copy.

[Rich Merkouris @rpmlive]

Passing on the essentials to the next generation. There are no participation trophies handed out tonight. We are in it to win it. #MarioKart

[Rich Merkouris @rpmlive]

Have you ever chased a car around town trying to buy it??!!

Sorry Big H, I tried but didn’t get you the dream ride today.

[Rich Merkouris @rpmlive]

Porch season is here!! I most certainly hope to see you here in 2026 sometime either around the fire or on the porch.
