Family Reunion 2013

So many have other plans for Saturday, June 29th that we will be cancelling the family reunion in Lanesboro this year.  Hopefully the last Saturday in June will work out better next year!  Hope everyone is doing well and that most of us will see each other September 7th at Crystal and Derek's wedding or at Spencer's barbeque July 6th.

Wyoming News

Hello from Wyoming.

It has been a while since I had anything to post on here.  It has been a pretty strange spring/summer here.  We went fishing one weekend with the temps hanging around 70 and the next weekend had 6 foot snow drifts in front of the boat barn.  After that it seemed like it stayed snowy and cold for a long time with the temps just finally warming up the last couple of weeks.  Now, the wind is blowing.  Seems like I can't get anything done on the yard after work because the wind is blowing 30+ mph.  We did manage to get some fishing in at Grey Rocks last Saturday.  The fishing was slow, Bob was catching some bass, and a few small walleye.  I had caught one really small walleye and had thrown him back.  Then, something BIG decided to bite.  It took me about 15 to 20 minutes to get this bad boy into the boat.  Bob did a great job of netting him for me, and I was shaking by the time he got in the boat.  This is the biggest walleye I have ever caught.  Bob has caught a couple this size, but my biggest to date. We weighed and measured him when we got home, and he weighed 7.4 pounds and was 27 3/4 inches long.  (Bob says it was all excellent boat placement and superior netting skills.)

Unfortunately, no fishing for us this weekend, Bob has to work Saturday morning, and I have to concentrate on getting packed for vacation.  We fly out of Denver at about 10:30 next Saturday night, and will be gone until July 7th.  We are really looking forward to this vacation, one of our fishing trips is a combo salmon fishing and bear viewing.  We will fly out on a float plane to one of the silver salmon fishing stream and after a few hours of fishing we will do some bear viewing.  I am thinking we might be competing with the bears for the fish.  We also will do two halibut fishing trips out of Deep Creek, and two king salmon trips on the Kenai River.  Hope the kings are running!

Deploying again....You're invited

Hi family -

Spencer is in the middle of training and hardly home these days already.  This deployment was literally a last minute thing for Spencer.  We have had a few friends ask if we're having a BBQ party for Spencer this time. 

SO.....

In my free time (haha), I have decided to look into reserving 1/2 of the pavilion at North Park in Kasson (South 1/2 of the EAST pavilion - near the park/pool).  We have it reserved from 10:00 - 3:00 on Saturday, July 6th.   It's likely the last weekend Spencer will be home before leaving Minnesota. 

Please feel free to stop by and see us.  Enjoy a bite to eat (probably pulled pork sandwiches).  If you're inclined to bring a dish - that would be great! 

Pool is open noon-9:00pm - new aquatic center - it's right across the park from the pavilion.  $4 admission fee in case you're interested in swimming.

Gabby - I KNOW Spencer wants to chat with you before leaving....

Liz lost a brother

Liz was notified last Saturday that her youngest brother drowned on Friday June 7th.  He was 27, married with a 2 year son.  The funeral was Tuesday.  Please keep Liz and her family in your prayers.
Thanks, Ann

A new week

It's hard to believe its Sunday night already. I'm still working with my hand and arm. I have a feeling it's going to take awhile
I want to thank everyone for the calls and cards. It has helped brighten my days

For those of you that don't know Spencer will be deployed again. He will be leaving for Texas next month, and then leaving for Afghanistan in August. It will be a one year deployment again.

On a bright note today. Ken and I went to a concert of Celtic music at Assisi heights this afternoon.  Put on by 2 sisters from Duluth..very enjoyable  was going to be outside in the inner courtyard, but with the rain it was held indoors.

Guess it my bedtime, I have been really tired, so I've been trying to go to bed early most evenings.
