Fun in October '07

A friend generously lent us his Harley so we could go riding with some visiting friends from Richfield. The kids all got rides with Ron and had a blast!

This is Jordan on Ron's bike.

Enjoying a fish fry with the Campbells and Fillmore (Barry's Dad). We hadn't seen him in many years and it was a treat to have him to ourselves for a few days. The kids really enjoyed getting to know him and interviewed him with lots of questions of his childhood. We had a lot of good laughs about him meeting up with Mr. Concrete and how Mrs. Am Bulance came to get him and then Mr. Poll Ice came to question him. Fillmore was a great story teller......

And sitting by the river watching nature go by.....

Surprise!! On Oct 8th we celebrated Connie's and Barry's birthdays. A limo came and picked us up and took us for a ride and then off to a nice restaurant for a special surprise for Barry's 40th. Friends met us there and fellowshipped with us for evening. Dessert was at Connie's with homemade cheesecake and homemade carrot cake with cream cheese icing--two of Barry's favourites. So far, Barry says, "the 40's have treated me well!"
