Sunday Update.

Well, here's the Schulte clan, or at least those who made it to the family reunion. It was not a large group. Actually, there were many more present, but this is just Aunt Helen and Phyllis and all the first cousins. We had a great meal. Fried fish, chicken, potatoes and onion rings plus all the carry in items. After eating, we had a "Redneck Washers" tournament. Dennis and Jim Flockhart were the overall champions, defeating all who challenged them. It was really a nice time, and we stayed until after 7 P.M. We were the last to leave.
Today, we came out of church to find that Zach (7) and Wyatt (4) were joy riding in our van. Dennis had left the keys in the ignition, as we usually do, so the boys were in the car and decided to start it up and move closer to the door so the rest of us wouldn't have to walk so far. Actually, I don't know what they were thinking. Tyler thinks they were NOT thinking! Boy, does that bring back memories...ha ha ha! Anyway, today was to have been the day that Zach and Tyler were going to come over and ride motorcycles on our trails, but Zach is going to have to go at least one more day without riding the motorcycle. Sure hope he learns something from it! From now on, we'll be taking the keys with us, if we can remember! We're so in the habit of just leaving them, it will be hard to remember to take them out. I greatly doubt that Zach will repeat that anyway, but just to be safe, we're removing the access to the keys!
Tomorrow, I'll be driving to Iowa City to pick up a friend. She and her son, Alex, flew into Cedar Rapids today, and will have an appointment at the U of I Hospital tomorrow morning. After that, she'll come here for a brief visit before returning to New York on Thursday. We're looking forward to seeing them again.
It's such a gorgeous afternoon, I think I'll go outside and enjoy the cool (cooler than last week) air and the low (66%) humidity! I'm sure it's going to be going up...so I'm going to enjoy today!
