Carlyle Lake, Carlyle, IL Corps of Engineer campground, Dam West

We just spent 5 days camping right on the lake with beautiful weather. When you book six months in advance you never know about the weather but this week was great. 

We went with Carol's brother and his wife. 
They had their Airstream. 
We both had nice lakefront sites.

We didn't do much but relax, do a little bike riding and taking it easy.

This side of the lake has nice sunrises but I wasn't awake for most of them.

We even had another A-Frame park across the street from us. Nice people.

We had a very good time. Of course we will be back to this campground. It's one of our favorites and it's close to home. 

Celebrating 62nd Birthday, early

Craig & Kevin came over today for my birthday dinner. Good food and laughs. 62 is ok, old enough for SS and old people discounts.

Gathering of A-Frames at Potato Creek State Park, IN

We had about 20 units at this event. A very nice park. A great time. Had a little rain on Friday. Thursday and Saturday were great. Enjoyed seeing some people we hadn't seen in a while. Always a good time at these events.

 Fred & Vicki's new paint job!

I rode the bike trail on my bike. Nice trail but too many hills.

 I also tried out a new style bike, it hurt different muscles.

 Pot luck was delayed a day due to the weather but it was worth the wait. Carol said it was the best pot luck ever. Lots of variety and plenty of food. Who needs a meat dish? We had a lot of meat in the dishes that were brought. Nice job!

 Cindy always takes a picture of us.

Family Fun

It's always good to get together with family. Beautiful day too!

Craig's Art Fire Sale and Birthday Party

Craig was turning 30 and was running out of room because he had so many paintings. So Kevin, Craig and Alex decided to have a Art Fire Sale.

Kevin rented an awesome place, Soulard Station.

Craig had lots of paintings and sold quite a few. There was a good turnout of friends and family. Had a great time!
