Hi All: We had a good time and Jo and Ken's beautiful home last night. They had a Shelar get together with cake and "Home Made" Ice Cream. It was a super time. Thanks so much Ken and Jo. got to visit with Uncle Jerry who will be 102 years old this November I think. He still bakes cakes and mows the lawn. A great man...

Lot of Amy's relatives showed up. To many to list here. I knew most of them, but some I didn't. I think they scheduled it as Amy could not make the Shelar Reunion in August, so she got to see a lot of them last evening. It was a great time. Thanks to them all for coming out..

The pretty lady above is Aunt Beryl who has cooked so many dinners for us while we have been here. She could claim us on her Income Tax as a Tax deduction. The dinners were all great, and she even put some of her cherry's in a pie for me, and this evening had some more of her cherries on a cake with ice cream. I sure didn't lose any weight while here. hee hee. Love you Aunt Beryl.

The other picture of the beautiful couple is Ken and Jo Harlan who had us all in their beautiful Home for the Shelar get together. Their home is beautiful in itself, and has a super view of a beautiful valley from top of the hill there. Will miss them all.

We will be leaving in the morning for a campground in Plymouth, Indiana. We'll be there for one night, then on to Marengo, Illinois for a short visit with Harry and Alecia Tippins. Harry and I used to play music together in a band in 29 Palms California in the early 60's We didn't make much money, but had a good time. We were both in the USMC at that time. Have not seen him in years. Looking forward to the visit. We will be there for two nights, then on the road again toward the North and visit the "Mall Of America", then on across the top of the states to Montana and then up in to Canada and the Alaska Highway...

More later.

Hi Georgia & Family...
