Black Hawk Lake fun

Had an enjoyable but way too short visit by my granddaughter recently.  She and a local friend were treated to some tubing fun as seen here.  The granddaughter, who lives in Miami Beach, Florida, is a high school cheerleader and being a teenager, was ready to return to  city life and her upcoming practices in preparation for the fall sport season. 

I have been overly busy this month (the reason for so few posts) with preparations for the super busy weekend coming up here in small town Iowa! Sounds like it will be a very hot weekend but hope people will still enjoy our annual carnival of events and that all the RAGBRAI bikers will arrive safely.  As for the other event, my 50th class reunion... that will be a once in a lifetime event!!
