Getting adjusted to going back to work after two great vacation weeks off made me lazy at night. Not to mention, that my first week back in the states had a holiday right in the middle of it.

The Forth of July was our annual fireworks party. About fifty of the usual band of suspects and some new faces showed up to see what my wife made me do to the house. That, and to eat some very good ribs and the like and drink a few adult beverages. My thanks to everyone who brought something. Personally, I thought there would be more in attendance so I still have a refrigerator full of beer. Anyone wishing to help me empty it is more that welcome to stop by. Note: the homemade rhubarb pie is all gone.

The display up the street at Rosenblatt was a fitting tribute to this great country. It was the largest fireworks display west of the Mississippi!

If you were not one of the FIFTY-THREE faithful who gathered at the Windmill Tavern in Nehawka on the last Friday of June, you missed out on a really fun time and a record for both club's attendance. Only the Christmas party was larger. Thanks to whomever gave me the tally as I was, a-ah, suffering from jet-lag. We put the old cars to the test Friday afternoon and zoomed straight into Nehawka from Pella, Iowa. (You all showed up for fish because you didn't think I'd make it back in time‚but I fooled you!)
