4th of July

Matt and I went to Durango for the 4th. We rode 50 miles off road in 2 days, the singletrack was fabulous and the weather wasn't too hot. Good food, good pals, it was a fun trip!

Engagement Party

Matt and I went to an engagement party that was held at a fancy car, fast car, show room. Thought I would take a few photos for the Wachtel men. Next time you are in town, we can go visit if you like...

Way too many house pics

More pis of the siding process!

Cut and ripped out trees here

Residing Dan's house

The front

Note that Dad's copper beech has been growing like a fat girl trapped in a Dairy Queen.

For Whom the Bell Tolls

Must have torn it off when the roof was replaced

All that remains of the Spirit of '86 - Winnebago Cheiftan Team: the old tow bar.

The Family Room, a.k.a. Catshit Ranch

More from out back

Looking inside the back garage window, which was left open.
The Pool Water. This is in the shallow end.

The Back Yard

Doesn't look like the back yard has been cared for at all since we moved out

We used to live here

Dad's blueberry bushes and the two evergreens are doing great. The rest of the place? Eh, not so much.

Bonfire on the Mississippi

And last night, May 21st, we celebrated with a bonfire on the river at Jim and Ann's house. A barge went by, that is the picture with the bright light. Also a beaver couple were out in the water. I think they were mad we were on their beach because one kept slapping its tail in the water. Heard an owl, a raccoon dropped by, and we took photos of the moon rising over the rivers. Fantastic!

Happy Birthday to me.

Dad and I went for a beautiful bike ride the morning of my birthday. We rode along the river on a bike path, the flowers were all over, the weather perfect, except for a bit of a head wind on the way back. Doesn't Dad look great in his new helmet, bike shorts and gloves?
