We’re home, but we don’t get a bit of rest. Papa left for work a while ago, and I’m making a list — again. Finish laundry. Wash and sort cucumbers, sort and can tomatoes (5 big buckets – like laundry soap comes in). Pack clothes. Make a couple of dishes to take. Pack food. Buy …

Day Three
Day three of the Milan Bluegrass Festival is beginning. Papa and I are among the lucky ones who had a pretty good night’s sleep. I’m feeling spiffy, for sure. The sun is out, the humidity is down, the buses are rolling in, and there is fun to be had. Come on out if you’re not …

Hi From Milan Michigan
A great, but wet day was enjoyed by all here at the Milan Bluegrass Festival, Milan Michigan Yesterday. Papa’s pictures will be posted Monday, since I don’t have a great connection. But, I do have one, so that is nice. Dave Parmley’s new, very yellow bus pulled in a few minutes ago, so the day …

What in the World am I Doing?
Updated the CACC website, volunteer for the Wheatland fundraiser. Updated Jerry Yates’ site for the Leslie, changed a band name on their page and in the schedule. Fixed some errors in the CF research benefit site, hope we’ll see you there in the fall. Updated the calendar on Papa’s pictures. Fall concerts, football, there’s more …

I think I’ll YELL
I left this morning in a pretty good mood to take GS2 to football. Everything was fine for 500 feet, then someone driving a tank-like vehicle passed me. He used the left turn lane to do so. I was going 40, the speed limit. I did not do the what the tank drivers around here …

The Second Thirty-eight Years
We spent the weekend with friends at the Marshall Bluegrass Festival. Burke and Tina Cole put on this Michigan festival annually, and bill it as “The Peoples festival”. True to form, many great Michigan pickers populated the campgrounds. In fact, I believe Burke had the largest crowd I’ve seen there since they moved the festival …

If You YELL — will it –?
A couple of nights ago, a typical commercial was bellowing from the TV, to an empty room. Papa was editing photos, I was doing some computer thing, and D1 was sitting on the sofa, reading a book. The din was remarkable, so Papa stood up to turn the TV either down or off, and stopped …

List Revisited
You may remember the list. This morning, after viewing the damages made by one cat spilling one glass of water on my desk, I decided review of the lists was necessary. List one, to do: Map to Beanfor the Goins benefit. Family tree chart for the reunion (done yesterday, thanks to D3 helping me. Genealogical …

Open
The library I mentioned is open today. It’s a nice place, and pretty busy. There is a problem, though. The internet works only on the lower floor. Surprise, surprise, the genealogy and history section is on the upper floor. I can’t believe it, but it’s true. I did some research, then I came down here for …

McDonalds Again?
I guess if this place wasn’t so close to the place we’re staying, I wouldn’t come here so much. No–that’s not right. If this place wasn’t so close, and didn’t have internet I wouldn’t come here so much. I was going to head for the local library, but a reality check revealed that the library …
