Corny jokes and corn

 What is the best way to cheer on an electrician?  Tell him you "conduit".😅😁

What is the next best thing to corny jokes?  A corn festival like the one we attended in Loveland on our journey back home. We went with our good friends, Ron and Patty Schorr to scope out the food trucks and also to partake of some delicious corn on the cob.

Patty's smiling face can be seen looking out from the sign.  She's always full of fun and adventure. 

We first went to the line for the roasted corn only to find out that we had to buy it with tokens.   That meant standing in another line just to buy tokens.  Oh well, at least the line wasn't long.

Our reward:  huge roasted ears of corn dipped in melted butter and served with LOTS of napkins.

It was almost large enough to hide my buttery face.

The only downside was the lack of food trucks and the overpriced food.  There were supposed to be 10 food trucks, but Don saw only two.  Our smoked pork sandwiches were served on a small hamburger bun and had very little meat, no sides and cost $9 each.   But we made up for that when we discovered Royal Crest Dairy was giving out free cartons of chocolate milk  Score on that one!  It reminded me of when I was a child and we could get chocolate milk in the school cafeteria. Delicious!

August Anniversary

 Fifty seven years have passed since we both said "I do" at Lutheran Church of the Ascension in Tucson.  Seems like ages ago to me.  Anyhoo....we were fortunate not only to spend two weeks with Roy and Char Beyer, but also our anniversary.

They treated us to a very special dinner at River's Bend in Green Bay.  First was a toast to wonderful friendships and times together.  I even managed to have a sip or two of wine for the occasion.

Don ordered his favorite meal: liver and onions.  I settled for a nice piece of  fresh walleye, Char had pasta and Roy enjoyed his steak.  All the meals were quite good.

After dinner we took a few pics by the Duck River which ran behind the restaurant.

  Blessed beyond measure!💕💖💗

Kite Flite

The last weekend we were in Algoma, the town hosted a Kite Festival.  It was quite windy and rain was expected so it was unsure whether or not the event would go on.  Neither Don nor I had been to an event hosting lots of kites so we drove down to the beach area.  It was absolutely amazing!

The ones I thought were really cool were the octopuses or octopi (I guess both ways are correct). 

It was a blustery day and the man who owned this octopus and whale started taking them down when they announced there would be rain within half an hour.

Was I imagining it, or did Ollie the octopus have his eyes on me?!😅😅  Whatever the case, I was going to outlast him because he was going down....literally.
