Big Dawg and I attended the Graduation Party for T-Man Ylvisaker. Great to see Sarah, John, Pete, Geromeo, Eric, Crazy Dr. Y, and Mrs Crazy Y. While there, Big Dawg climbed a nearby tree and took this picture of Robin chicks in a nest. The mother Robin was not too happy... she'll get over it.
The following morning, Beaner and Buzz left at 3:00 a.m. for Madison, WI. Below we see Beaner and Buzz posing before the start of the Madtown Marathon (Beaner volunteered at the finish line, and Buzz ran it). As tradition has it, Buzz was the last on to cross the start line, and this time he was escorted across by his oldest daughter. The next time he saw her was 3 hours and 45 minutes later, when she placed a finisher's medal around his neck... How cool is that?!
After the event, BD was invited to clean up at Dorrie Sundquist's house. BD and Dorrie were HS chums. It was the first time they've seen each other in 28 years (or so). She is still every so sweet and enjoyable. A person could also say she's a brave and inspirational soul. Below we see Beaner, BD, Dorrie and (her daughter) Madeline.
After lunch, we headed back to Iowa. The following day (Memorial Day), there was no rest for the weary. It was the first full day at home with no soccer, or taxiing, or anything. So we cleaned, and BD dug up one more garden for Zucchini, Cucumbers, Tomatoes, and a Pumpkin vine. At dinner we were joined by Marpy, JoAnn, and JoAnn's 91 year old friend, Margarette. Then, KFC joined us all for Beaner's Angel Fruit Confection Dessert. What a wonderful Memorial Day weekend. Thanks one and all.
