Good afternoon from Collegeville,
This is going out early due to a planned power outage scheduled for tomorrow. There are three major construction projects going on at Collegeville this summer, so this may happen again.
It is a perfect day out there today. Sunny and 70. It is only three weeks until we go to Woody’s Fairly Reliable Resort on Rainy Lake in search of the walleye. I hope that we have a couple of days like this one.
I did manage to get the squash and the cucumbers planted on Memorial Day, but the school greenhouse was not open so I have yet to get the tomato plants in the ground. My five year old granddaughter, Christen Irene, helped me to “push the seeds into the dirt one inch deep” and cover and pat down. I hope that I can keep her interested in gardening. It always makes it easier if you have a helper, no matter what age they are.
My grandson William Harley was baptized last Sunday in Stewartville. It was scheduled for the 8 o’clock service, so we stayed in a Holiday Inn on the south side of Rochester on Saturday night. The laughing woman in the outdoor bar finally gave up the ghost at 2 AM, so we did get some sleep. I now have to expand on “not next to an elevator and not next to an ice machine” to include the “outdoor bar”. It is not easy.
The show this week is a live broadcast from the Fox Theater in Saint Louis. Special guests include living bluegrass legend and member of The Grand Ole Opry, Del McCoury and his sons Ronnie and Rob McCoury. Jazz singer Jearlyn Steele will join the regular cast of characters. Enjoy the show.
