This is one of my dreams..to someday take a ride in a hot air balloon. I think it would be the ultimate rush and at the same time, so quiet & peaceful. This summer has not been a very good one for this kind of ride. So many stormy , windy days. But I'll be patient and it will happen !
Next week, we are planning another camping trip. This time we plan to see the Amanas. It's been many years since we've been there. It should be interesting. Hopefully , the weather will be a bit cooler & drier. I don't do well with humidity.
This weekend is the Smith siblings reunion. That is always fun. And it's our turn to host this year, so Sherwin gets a chance to do one of the things he enjoys most....cooking ! I enjoy it a lot too (his cooking). :-) We are looking forward to seeing those who can make it this year.
Time to get some ZZZZZZZZ's. Bertha
PS. On Thursday night, Deb & Brad joined us for supper to celebrate their 9th wedding anniversary !! That was fun !
What a glorious week we just had ! Well, it started with a wind & rain storm on Monday night. Branches in the yard & 2.2" of rain. Then on Tuesday, we hooked on to the camper & headed for Beeds Lake near Hampton, Ia. We dropped off the camper and our "mighty watchdog" & headed for Goldfield to visit some relatives we don't get to see much. Then back to the camper & Corky. On Wednesday, Wendy, Bubba & Mijo joined us. We spent until Friday afternoon with the guys fishing a bit while Wendy & I relaxed & crocheted. It was GREAT !!
Today, Sunday, we hosted the Hunter family reunion with 53 in attendance ! That's the best we have had in many years. In two weeks, it will be the Smith siblings reunion....Not so many people, but lots of fun. Looking forward to that ! Time to go put my feet up now ! :-) Bertha
This is the part of a storm we like to see. It was really fantastic that afternoon. Wendy calls it our prayer bubble. We just came home from watching the fire works from Shell Rock. They were awesome, as usual. I've been sewing this past week while Sherwin has been working on the water pump in the camper. We are hoping to take a couple days next week and do some fishing. Before you know it, the summer will be gone & we won't have gone camping all the places we had planned for this year. Of course, one of the main places we hope to go is "Autumn Oaks". That is the BIG dog show in Indiana. We may or may not take dogs to show, but it is fun to go & see friends we've made over the years . Must get to bed......more later. Bertha
