Vacation?

 We feel like we are on vacation. No action is taking place on the 'Pool Hall'. It is Labor Day Weekend and every day feels like Sunday. It started yesterday because Russ took the day off and went to a Motorcycle Race and will not be back to work till Tuesday. Those guys have been putting in long hours and deserved to take it easy. It does feel different after the constant activity around here. 

Butch and I took a tour of the county, Greene County Iowa. This is something we do a few times every summer. It was very much a part of my childhood. My father loved to swim and so every night that I can remember through the summer months we would go to Spring Lake. We also rode around to get a breeze on hot summer nights because this was before AC in most homes. So our tour of Greene county always brings those memories to life for me.  For Butch, working for different power companies he always became acquainted with all areas where we lived because he frequented those roads in connection with his work. Often times at night and in the midst of storms all year round.

In our travels near Squirrel Hollow we come upon Jerry's Auto, a business neither of us knew existed. It is quite sizable too! Of course, there are also people who do not know Squirrel Hollow existed either.

This is the shelter house at Squirrel Hollow.

These next ones are all Spring Lake photos and this time I didn't take any of the water.  The "wood" part of Spring Lake Park fascinated me as much or more than the water. 

Almost forgot! I took a photo of the moon night before last and posted it on Facebook but forgot to put it on the blog. So here it is:
