 I am enjoying my view as I sit at my computer. I am not as quick as I used to be. I still enjoy the challenge of getting a good shot.

Get this show on the road...

 Whatever day I choose for a Zimmerle Cousins Reunion is not going to work for someone, so I picked a day...and it is Saturday, June 14th! Yeah! Food will be provided, and at this point, we do not know what it might be.

We will be getting together just like when we were babies and the magnificent 7, Mae, Ray, Phil, Herold, Vivian, Jack, and Fern, gathered at Grandma Z's humble abode for Sunday dinner.  Oh, the stories that could be told!

You will not want to miss it if it is as much fun as last year.

Please let me know if you can attend.

Settled in

 We have been home for over a week and are settled in. There are a few things we need to get done, mostly outdoor things. We have had some nice days, but they seem random to me. It will all get done in good time.

This week's theme is "Doctor Appointments." There were three, and the last one is tomorrow.  They are mostly getting the medical stuff that happened in Texas in the records for Iowa, so everyone is on the same page.

I haven't started Pool Hall Trivia yet, but I plan to do so later this month. Butch and I are playing pool nearly every day at 4:00. Drop in for a visit. We can easily make it a billiards/happy hour combo.

Laura, our daughter-in-law, had knee replacement surgery yesterday, and anyone who has had that knows it is a tough row to hoe for a couple of weeks and no darn fun for longer than that. We hope it is smooth sailing and she can get back to her regular routine as soon as possible.

I want to set a date for the Zimmerle Cousins reunion, and I am leaning towards Saturday, June 7th. That was my sister Myrla's birthday, and close to the same date as last year. If I receive no opposition within the next week, we will make it official!
