Today, Saturday July 19th we are not at the cottage, rather at home even though the sunset is that over Little Pike Bay Point. Here, it is raining, coming straight down, a soaking rain. Good for farmers, grass and mosquitos. 

Kathy and I have been busy this week supporting our consumer economy in preparation for our King/Mininger family reunion in Ellston IA next week, and rounding up things for the Honicky reunion at the cottage the following week. As always, there are people coming as well as people who won't; we will enjoy those in the present and remember those who are still far away. 

Right now, I am developing a sore butt, sitting as I have been for the past week. I do know, that I will be up and about once in IA and again in Ontario (is there an Off-tario") More toys for Bounty, more toys for tots, lots of fun in anticipation.
