Awake: 6:48am Temp 67 sleep 5+54 clouds, then sunny overnight @ Watertown, WI.
It’s a beautiful day for the hometown parade in Watertown except, I was outvoted; instead, (9) of us are going golfing again.
That was not a bad 2nd choice however, so no complaints here. We expected the course to be soft & wet with last night’s rain; not so! The course was great. K & I played with Larry & Doug. I must admit, again we had fun &, on a few rare occasions, we shot like pro’s!
K & I drove the Suzuki to the golf course to be independent so after our (9) holes, we went thru town just in case the parade was still in progress; it was just finishing up with people walking back to their cars & some still sitting in their lawn chairs on main street. We heard later from one of the guest’s that the parade was fantastic for being in a small town.
Lunch by Sallie was a buffet of turkey (professionally sliced by Don), pasta & veggie salads, potato & corn chips with hummus, fruit, & cookies; a whole new crowd of visitors, more from the local area & too many names to remember.
Later afternoon when we returned to the house after being in our MH, it was nearly empty; we asked one of the kids: “where is everybody?” He tells us that everyone is over @ Bruce’s house & there has been an accident on the river. The Rock River runs near their back yard.
Walking over to the Bruce residence, we see Sallie on her cell phone; that’s not unusual but as we get closer, we hear hospital talk. It seems that (2) of Bruce’s jet skis had collided & one person was taken to the hospital. This incident had obviously put a damper on the holiday fun for these (2) families, their relatives & friends. After getting all the latest updated details, we sit & visit with Don & Cindy (Sallie’s sister) from Denver. Both C & D have been architects for many yrs & still retain a vast amount of knowledge of commercial & residential homebuilding tips & suggestions. We should have taken notes. Maybe, lucky for us, we can visit them in Denver later this yr & copy some of their good ideas.
To help simplify the dinner operations inside the house K & I have a tuna salad on whole wheat buns with a mixed salad in our motorhome.
