Rugby's parade featured patriotic horses,
Lyman's Clydesdales,
a "float-ing" Museum,
an old "hearse," (local funeral director)
and an invitation to go "hog wild" for next year's fair.
Local police are making sure the crowd behaves
especially Rick, our Lebanese "cousin"
An old Rugby-Wolford fire truck still runs,
and the sheriff is checking up on the police car.

The "Stars and Stripes" stole the show. Windstorm last night broke a few branches on our trees. I picked up four wagon loads! |
(Do you know the song "Fishin' in the Dark?")
Luke, Mary Kate, and Spongebob
RJ and Julia make smores the "modern" way

| Finally got the garden weeded on July 9th... everything is "late" since I planted late!  |
Bob's college roommate Jerry and Sue
stopped by for a visit on the 11th.
They live in Glenwood, MN.
and I pulled a header trailer out to Jimmy and Kelly
in Killdeer this week and spent time with the kids (me)
and helping get stuff ready for harvest (Bob).
Our oldest and youngest grandchildren: Ariana is 16;
Mary Kate is almost two months old in this pic
that was taken the weekend she was baptized.
Yes, I did sing the song to her. :-)
Aunt Nell's bedroom furniture from my basement
to Iowa. Annika helped me make fatire after supper!
She also helped eat them! :-)
and made it home safely after meeting
Ana and the girls for lunch at a park in MN.
She left Annika at Ana's for some cousin time.
was headed for Annika's bedroom. I think
we all have a little bit of "Aunt Nell"
in our homes.
Flower bed west of the house....
Bob brought wildflower seeds from Texas!
First Communion...
just immediate family
and Julia's "babies"
on April 26th, but it was rescheduled
for July 24th.
