Large Visitor Spotted

This evening at 6:15pm I saw a large black bear in our yard. It had to be three feet high at the back and over five feet in length. Our neighbor mentioned he spotted a bear several weeks ago, but this is the first time we saw it close to the house. Mom saw the tracks in the yard so we took a picture. The paw prints measure eight (8) inches in length and over four (4) inches in diameter. Just what we needed during a house showing !!

Fourth of July 2008

Vince and Christie out did themselves again with great feast of crawdads, turkey, roast and ribs. The rest of us brought enough desserts and salads to feed an army. We enjoyed the lake, did a little fishing and caught up with each other. Dad was able to visit with us much better with his new cochlear implant.

Grandma's Marathon Duluth

A great time was had in Duluth during Grandma's Marathon. We were up early to watch the half marathon. Everyone was on the sidewalk ringing cowbells and cheering on the runners during the main event. We ended the day with a fire and roasted marshmallow samore's.
