Friday I rode over to my buddy Greg's house. He and his wife Shannon had company from a mutual friend that I haven't seen in more than twenty years. (Cathy, I'm glad we got to visit. I hope you had a good time on your vacation.) It was a short visit, I rode my bike and I'm not too keen on riding those particular roads after dark, but it was a nice time none the less.
Saturday, I pretty much stayed around the house. Which was fine, I got caught up on some things that needed catchin' up on, and had a little down time.
Sunday I went back up to Buck Lake in Hamburg with my buddy Tom. His friend Bruce had us out for some fishing festivities. We cruised the lake for a few hours on his pontoon and caught some fish. Maybe eight bass, a couple Gills and a Crappie. Then we hung out on shore down by his dock and caught a buzz. There was a fellow out showboating on a wakeboard so I took a few pictures of him. (He was pretty good.)
After hanging out at the lake for most of the day, I rode my bike back out to Greg and Shannon's for a small get together of close friends and a couple of cousins. We had a couple of drinks, a little food, and a lot of laughs. Again, a little short in time, but high in quality. Once the sun went below the horizon it was time to hit the road.
Today, we had a small family get-together at my mothers house. She worked very hard to get everything together, and make everything just right for a party. Thanks Mom. My sister Traci got to come with her family, which was very nice. She has missed the last several get-togethers due to work or school. And being that she is the only Veteran in my immediate family, I was particularly pleased she was able to make it today. My brother Dan however was not able to come with his family as he hurt his back and wasn't up to the excitement. We missed you Dan. But I think a good time was had by all.
One of my nieces seems to have aspirations and talent for photography, so when she got here I put a camera in her hands, and told her to hold on to it for the day. She took enough good pictures today that I probably didn't need to take any myself... But the two of us together recorded the day quite spectacularly. Thanks for taking all the cool pictures Jess.
This first one my sister took, then I posted a few that I took. But I'm going to give MVP (Most Valuable Photographer) to Jessica.
