Summer Vacation, Day 71: Home Free

Jodi and I are at my folks’ place today. The wee ones are fishing with Busia and Dziadzi (wish ’em luck!), while we chill, blog, do laundry, and assorted other everyday chores, kid-free.

We plan to have a kid-free visit with a couple of old friends, a kid-free lunch with another friend, maybe do some kid-free napping, then enjoy a kid-free supper with some couple-friends who, completely coinicidentally, are also kid-free.

I hope Bren catches a fish. Beyond that, I’m soaking the quiet.

Summer Vacation, Day 26: Good Friends and Beer (Belated)

For Sunday: Spent yesterday and this morning (including right now) at Cowboy Bob’s, aka Jinglebob’s or a Dennis Ranch. Guitars, dobro, harmonica, and many (many) good beers – Bass, Blue Moon, Guinness, Moose Drool, Sam Adams Summer Ale. Got to meet Hubba, visit with Deacon Tyler, and meet a number of other friends and good people from the blogosphere.

Sure was a good time, and I loved meeting all of you folks. Kids are hunting frogs and turtles with Deacon Tyler. Gotta get packed up now – headed to Wall Drug (where Jode and I met) and the Badlands.
