Eagle III - In a Hurry

Eagle III came cooking over the house more than 30 minutes ago and just made a return trip for Green Bay.

In a Big Hurry.

Betwixt all of this another chopper was cruising north from the southwest.

Wonder what's up.

Independence Day

Found an old photo last weekend that speaks volumes about summer times past.

All the cousins (from that year) sitting on the back stoop of the house I grew-up in.  Probably 1960 or thereabouts.  Those were the days of free-range children.  Most of us are brown as berries - evidence of long hours out of doors.  I'm the one with the shaved head in the middle.

Might have even been the Fourth of July.  Raise an ice cream cone to Independence Day today!

The Interview

The Frau and I had an interview with the local press.

Watch for something in the Gannett news....

Fog

Interesting picture composition.

A deer that's not caught in the headlights.

Sunset

Another reasonably acceptable peninsula sunset...

 

Three Generations

Daughter and one of the grand kids paid a visit over the weekend.

Short and sweet - but well worth it.

Did lunch, the Manitowoc Zoo, the beach and ice cream.

 

Spiritual Sweet Tooth

Ice cream yesterday at a three generations-old Manitowoc business fixture.

Beerntsen's Confectionary, Sandwich and Ice Cream Parlor.

If you're look to indulge your spiritual sweet tooth - I highly recommend the chocolate Last Supper.
