Green in Minnesota



With all the rain, it sure is green

















More Space








The Economic Recovery Act has forced me to concrete the floor in the large garage. It took only two days for us to complete this project. As you can see the only use for this floor is for dancing.

Children in Ilinois







From Wisconsin it was just a small jump into Illinois to see Margret and Jim. Its been many month since I have seen them, and to my surprise they looked good. Jim is working on his little house and Meg wants to unload hers so that she can get out of "Dodge".

Fun at home








On those days when the weather is cooperative, its fun to be at the lake.







Projects at the Lake in Audubon











Some of the projects that we completed in June and July. Our garden is in and growing. Our water system has 13 new spickets, Our fireplace has a mantel and cabinet, and our shore has a beach for swimming. Our flower beds (15 of them) are in bloom and our lawn is green and cut.

Jarrett and Jackson had lots of fun swiming.


Visit to Blue Mound in June








While at BlueMounds, Kim, Jarrett and Jackson (Jim's wife and children) and Teak Nelson and her children came to visit. All had a good time and the four children enjoyed the pool and farm.
