Summer Dream 2006

Today I followed Barb up to Bill's. First day ont the bike in 3 days. It felt REALLY good to be back in the saddle. I'm eagerly anticipating the Wednesday morning kickoff for Michigan.

Bill hung 3 iron kettles over his open bonfire and cooked a ton of mouthwatering chicken, a great vegetable 'casserole' and topped it off with a dessert of peach cobbler, all cooked in iron over the open fire. We all felt like cowboys, just in off the range. And Bill, who's always building something big that involves welding, is well along on a chuck wagon. It's great looking already.

The evening ended with cool breezes and an interesting lawn game of Washoes. Not sure if I have it spelled right and it's got to be a Minnesota thing but I'm told it's on the Internet. Research on that subject is an exercise for the reader.

By the way, a blogger feature was turned on to moderate comments. I didn't know I had to 'approve' them so I did and turned off the feature. From now on all comments should go in directly. Thanks so much for those comments. I love being in touch with all of you.
