"A Gathering of A-Frames"

We went on our first Aliner rally in Springfield, IL. It was called

"A Gathering of A-Frames".



During the open house Saturday we had a great time showing our
"Old 88 model".






My wife really liked this "cute" Alite


There also was this huge A-Frame:


We got to see so many different models and styles it was good info for future reference. (My wife thinks we are buying a newer model. She is probably right)









We are new to this and our hosts, John, Jan and Wendy were great. They went above and beyond taking care of everything.

We had a great dinner Friday night, and a wonderful breakfast Saturday morning.

We met a lot of very nice people.












I'm sorry that I didn't get pictures of everybody except this group photo.



We had a very informative D.I.Y. session on installing an awning.







We got to look at the stars and planets with an unbelievable telescope and got a lesson in Astronomy.





And we even had a pool party.




This was a great weekend and I'm sure we will have more. Thanks to all!

Carol's new look!

I don't know what the big deal is with a little grey hair. I've been bald and grey for a very long time.

Sunday

Another great day today, except I lost in poker. It was so hot today, 99 degrees, we decided to stay in. We ate good and had a good time.

Saturday's Bar-B- Que

We had a nice time yesterday. It was a little warm but it is summer time.

Friday

Toady I had an unusual breakfast. An omelet made with egg, zucchini, tofu, sausage, garlic, onion.

Monday

Today Carol put together a vase of flowers she took from our garden. She does this all the time during the Spring and Summer and then takes them to work.

Saturday night

Craig, Kevin and family came over tonight for pizza and games. We had a good time.






Kevin even tried skateboarding.

Wednesday night

When I got home from work today I cut the grass. When I finished and came in the house, my wonderful wife had this waiting for me. I don't even know what all it had but it was very good. I always like different flavors to mix up my taste buds.

Sunday

Today started with a bacon, egg and cheese omelet topped with Hot Chipotle salsa.



Then I hit the trails for a ride. After that not much.

A beautiful Saturday

Today was a very nice day. Nice and warm and sunny without the usual high humidity. I went on a bike ride and then did a little work around the house. I watched the Cardinals beat the Cubs in a great game. Then I ate leftovers.

July 4th

Today was a beautiful day. It started with a bike ride and then the usual Saturday yard work. Of course I have to have BBQ pork steaks on the 4th of July. Along with corn on the cob and grilled zucchini makes a great dinner.
