Bismarck Visit

I had such a great time with Sara, Tom and Cindy! I didn't take too many pictures, but, here are some good ones. We played cards, drank some beers and wine, did some gambling.... A&B Pizza, Cinsia's potato salad, Tom's hamburgers..... YUM. What a great time!

Visit with Dad

I finally got up to ND for a great visit with my Dad and Sister. What a great time! I miss them lots and wished they lived closer. Dad is doing great, but I'm thinking that I have to start visiting him more often. He no longer travels, so it's up to me to get up there to see him. He looks great, doesn't he? He's 91 :)

Happy Birthday Dad

Happy Birthday to my Dad (yesterday).

I miss him lots, and wish I could turn back time. I can't..... Happy Birthday! See you soon!
Love, Donna

Happy 4th of July

Bob decided to break out the smoker and smoke some ribs for the 4th of July. These are the only pictures I took, Bob preparing the ribs the night before. Oh, and they were yummy! We had a small crowd over this year, David and Kyleah drove up, and Ken and Dari Burgess came over for a fun day of laughing, drinking and ofcourse, eating! Our deck conveniently sits at a perfect spot to watch the fireworks so that was a beautiful end to a great day. And now, we've got plenty of ribs to freeze and Donna enjoys them while Bob is at the lake!

Happy 4th!

Final Day

Well, Bob and I ended up with a free weekend, so off we go to the very last day at the dog tracks. It was so busy..... I stood in line for 30+ minutes for a beer! It was crazy, but we decided to just hang with it for a while.... I'm glad we did! Bob made a 10cent Superfecta bet (cost us $2.40).... We ended up winning $330 !!! It was a nice end to a crazy day. One more note.... below are pics from last weekend when we were at the dogs. My friend the Security man... this has been his ONLY job -- he told me that he's worked there for 60 years! Imagine that! I asked what he will do now -- he said he's going to take some time off.

Good bye to the dogs.

Dog Gone It

Our Dog Track is closing! I can't believe it..... Bob and I have been frequenting the dog tracks for YEARS. It was just an easy way to have a fun afternoon, drink a few beers, meet up with the Greenfields and hopefully win a few dollars. Winning the few dollars was few and far between, but we didn't invest much either. We're sad to see it close, wish they could have at least lasted through the summer. Oh well, we'll just have to find ourselves a new way to spend a Saturday afternoon!

Here are a few pictures.... the Entrance, Bob enjoying a beer in the sun,the dogs running, and my favorite Security guy, we were buddies. Yep, we felt safe with him protecting us :)

Happy Fathers Day

Happy Father's day to all of the Dad's out there... there are too many for me to mention.... but, to name a few: Bob, Mark. Chuck, Larry, Kevin.... just all of the Dad's. Make your day GREAT. Bob had a real great day..... here are some pics.
