              On Sunday our family went to the ASA/NASCAR races in Milwaukee.    
              The cars were going 170 miles an hour I guess.        
              I told my daughter Dawn, as I was trying to keep up watching the cars go by, "now,
              this is a great sport for someone with a head tremor.        
              Especially the no no tremor".     My head kept going back and forth really fast.    
              It was so NATURAL for me!     We did have a good laugh about it.    
              Of course, if you hold your head still and just keep moving your eyes back and forth,
              well, let's say, it just makes ya dizzy.

    Hi everyone,
    I am sure everyone is very busy with summer fun....what's left of summer.
    The leaves are starting to turn here in Wisconsin already.  
    The crickettes are chirping at night as well.  
     A sure sign of what's to come.
     
    Les and I are taking as many  fun   weekend trips as possible.  
    Last weekend we went down to the lakefront for lunch, then went to
    Port Washington to see the 4 or was it 5 "Tall Ships" that were in port
    for several days.          
    Hundreds of people were down there.      
    Lots of food, music etc.    
    Then went to   Dawn's for the rest of the early evening.  
    It was a great day.......
     
    I hope that everyone is having a great summer.   I am still planning on retiring the end of next year.   Early retirement is fine with me.     Work has been the same with lousy management, but just to know that there is an end in sight makes me feel warm and fuzzy.   Hi to all.
     
    Jill

      Wow, I've been checking in every few days and was beginning to think everyone disappeared.   Glad to see your post, Pam.

      Sounds like you've been keeping busy.   I have 12 days of vacation to use before 10/15 so have a couple things planned.   Marsha and I are going to Branson for a couple days.   Believe it or not, I live a 3 hour drive away and have never been there and its in my own state.  

      I've joked in the past that when I retire, I'm going to start taking those day trips with the senior citizen groups.   Well, my bank started a new club and that's exactly what they do so I'm signed up for a day trip to Kansas City to see Marion Ross in "The Last Romance."   When I made my reservation, I was told that only ladies had signed up for that one which made sense since most men don't care about romantic plays etc .   There's a day trip to Lexington (home of Harry Truman) next month, in November there's an overnight "Christmas in Branson" (yup, going back then to see Andy Williams and I forgot which other show) and in December another day trip to KC to see the Rockettes.   So I guess I'm starting my retirement plans  early.
       
      Have also had a few unpleasant things happen recently which is part of why I haven't posted or communicated with anyone but I won't go into those things now.
       
      Have a nice weekend, wherever you're going.
       
      And hello to anyone else who happens to check in here  occasionally.

      I know that Les would hate those day trip things but I surely would not mind doing that stuff.   Ya don't have to drive and you meet some nice people.   You can get some really great deals on that stuff.   Too late to write a lengthy letter tonight.   (it's 1 AM) so will write you tomorrow Ruth to get some information on prices for that stuff.   Good for you.   Isn't it something how our minds change as we get older?   Things we may have thought iffy, start to sound good.

      I do enjoy the day trips better than going overnight, but I have done both.

      Yep, Pam and Ruth, as you get older your priorities do change.   As well as lots of other things.

      We have to go with the flow or stay home and brood.  
       
      Have a good weekend, everyone.   It is pretty hot here now.

      It's kind of depressing around here.   The evenings are starting to get shorter and the kids went back to school this week.   The leaves are starting to turn here in Ohio as well and it's hot.   Some things in our garden are still going strong though.     We're still getting green beans out of the garden and they're sooooo good.

      Has anyone been watching the Olympics?

      Joseph Biden is Barack Obama's running mate.....WOO HOO!

      Our garden is still going strong too.   I planted a second crop of beans for fall.   We have been watching the olympics.   The opening ceremony was awesome.   My sister has been very sick.   She had open heart surgery August 1 (her third).   During surgery her lung was nicked and now she has a staph infection.   She is just not progressing well. I was in Michigan for her surgery.   That is the only traveling Hank and I have done all summer.   No camping trips this year with fuel around $4 a gallon.
       
      The elections should be interesting .... I just hope they aren't too negative.   I am hoping the  Obama/Biden ticket  is successful

      Hi Ruth & Sandy,

      I have recorded most of the Olympics and am recording the ending ceremonies as I am on this computer.

      Ruth, as you realize, I have been keeping in touch about your sister.    
       
      I just watched this video and it really tells it like it is.   I had never even heard of Thomas Paine (don't tell Hank)  until I watched "Are you smarter than a 5th Grader last evening".   The man won $500,000 with his answer of Paine.
       
      He is answering most of the questions himself and is a Harvard Graduate.   Can't wait until the next show.   I think it is on Wednesday evening to see if he wins the $1,000,000.   No one has ever won it yet.
       
      We do need a change and I was happy with Biden also.
       
      WOO HOO, AS SANDY SAID!!!  
       
      Sandy, Ed Cwalinski called and he will also be going to Vegas with us as well as his mom and two other women.   He is trying to get on the agenda.   I hope he does and shows the before and after of his DBS.  
      Ruth, my son Jeff, is in Montgomery, AL this week on a business trip.   I told him I wish I could have gone with him so I could see you and Hank.  
       
      Take care, everyone and enjoy this cooler weather this week, at least in the Eastern area.

          1 Upcoming Show Click here to view reply in a separate window
      Hey everybody. Here's a note to all about a show coming up. I'm playing in two bands that are doing a joint album release on September 5th at the Broadway Theatre in Saskatoon. That's a Wednesday. The bands are called the Heartstrings, in which I play bass, and Matty Powell and the Resonance, in which I play banjo and sing a bit. Both bands are rootsy/folk/country or something like that. The show starts at eight o'clock and it costs $10 bucks if you buy your ticket in advance, or $12 at the door. Kids 5 or less are free. Hopefully some of you can make it. If you have any questions call me 229-1423.
