Grandson Dominic is beginning to dominate my blog. He recently had a birthday, attained a drivers license and now wins a trophy. Dominic is the 2014 Class A Wisconsin High School Trap Shooting Champion. I had mentioned previously that he obliterated 97 clay birds out of 100. Your Mom and I got to witness the competition and we have the pictures to prove it. Congratulations to Dominic.
I saw a blue antique convertible on the way to exercise this morning. The top was down and a younger man (45 years old) was driving it. For a moment, I thought it was an Oldsmobile similar to the 1951 model I had in high school. As I got closer I realized I was only dreaming because it was a Ford. It was a light blue (same color) Ford Galaxy probably from the early 60’s. Hey, I can dream can’t I?
Amateur weekend begins today. Memorial Day weekend kicks off the “cottage-lake” season. People open cottages, launch boats and invite all the relatives to celebrate. That means the lakes are overloaded for a few days as “amateurs” operate boats and jet skis, along with water skiing and possibly some swimming (this part is doubtful because of the cold winter we had). After the weekend, all the relatives go home and summer begins for all the lake dwellers. Ah, I remember it well!
Your Auntie Jo celebrated a recent birthday with your Mom yesterday. As usual, she is still one year old than your Mom.
Don’t burn the brats.
Love,
Dad
