Got Some Catching Up To Do.

It's been a long time since I have added anything to this post.  Guess I better get to it.  We have had a good Spring and Summer.  The kids are here from Germany and we have had good times with Zmo, short for Simone'.  She has no fear of the water and she would spend all day in the pool if you let her.  Our next door neighbor has a small pool 12' by 24' and we use it most days of the week.  They are only here on the weekends and I care for the chemicals and such.  All that good experience from back at the Stockton Pool.  As you can see from the pictures we have been moving around.  We went back to Nebraska in April and May.  We reconstructed Gary's dock and spent time with Dixie and family.  We also took a quick trip to Hays to see Ralph give his presentation on the Capote book. 
On our way home from Gary's we came through Yellowstone.  It was a quick day and great not to have any crowds to get in the way.  As you can see  the lake was still mostly frozen over.  I still think the falls on the Yellowstone River is one of the most beautiful sights in the US.  We even saw a grizzly while coming through the park. 
Grandma gets many sewing projects and as you can see even a tent is not out of the question.  We bought this tent in 1970 and have spent many nights in it.  The kids took it for a weekend camping trip last weekend.  It needed some tender loving care on one of the stake loops.  It was worn out. 
Kathleen heads back to Stuttgart next Wednesday, but Jim and Zmo will be here till the 4th of September.  We are all getting together on Tuesday for a big Turkey dinner.  Traeger Time.
