Stillwater MN - Lake Day


















 

Wow, Cheikh got up again on skis but couldn't hold it - but still the best skier of all my Mac guys!

 Great summer day with the Clausen/Ford crowd and Maxi and kids as well.  Lots of action even before the skiing and tubing. 

 Got a great lake day again.

Saint Paul MN - Neighborhood night out

 










Mac had their annual neighbors event this week.  A fun night out in the neighborhood and lots of new twists this year.  

As I was enjoying the music I was also watching the sky and decided it was time to get back home before I was stuck at Mac with no where to go.  Good decision - don't always win that award. 

Still need lots of rain so a shorter night out but we got lots of water as well.

River Falls WI - Mark celebrates 70

 










Mark and I met in 1982 and have stayed friends and enjoyed many a good time over the last 40 years.  

Today, a great golf day celebration to recognize hitting the big 7-0.  

Beautiful spot on the map on the east side of the St Croix River.  

Saint Paul MN - Bagpipes night at Mac

 


I wondered if the bagpipers still practiced at Mac.  Often I could hear them practicing from my yard from time to time.  But it has been awhile - and who knows what covid rules they put in place for themselves.  

Anyhow, on a wander out this week I walked right through the middle of practice - funny to say that bagpipes playing is a normal sound in the middle of MN but it is.

Chicago IL - The morning after















 

Big weekend music festival over....the calm of Monday morning greeted all in the City.  

Ran in to the parade of people leaving after the last band finished and most looked like they had four days worth of fun.
