...makes for a very good day in my world!!!
We started out at "Cakes at the Lake" this morning. Record turn out...156 attendees. Michelle joined us just in time for the program. This month's program was bird calls. The presenter was incredible!!! He could whistle the bird sounds of about any species we threw at him. I was so impressed...he sounded just like them...he did all three loon calls, several owls, blue heron, and many different song birds. Oh so very impressive!!! Sorry no photos...because he was using the overhead projector, they closed the door...would have been like taking photos in a movie theater!
Brad convinced Michelle to spend one last day up here...after the short night of sleep and seeing how beautiful the day was going to be, it wasn't a hard sell!!! Because she was late and Brad and I were both working the event, none of us managed to enjoy the apple cinnamon pancakes the Hunt Hill staff had put together...so by the end of the program and after cleaning up the program area, we were all starving...ok...we were all very hungry! Since we were going to go into Spooner to meet Kathy at Mark's baseball game, we decided to make our way there to find something to eat. We noticed something strange once we got to town...just about every square inch of the main street was lined with people's portable seating devices...people had staked out their front row seat to the Spooner parade in honor of the Rodeo. There was some major "stuff" going on there! We were able to get a seat at a sandwich type restaurant right there on the main strip...we ate and drank and pretty much just walked out the front door in time for the parade to begin. The only part of the parade I was really interested in was the Budweiser Clydsdales. WOW are they big and WOW are they pretty!!! Here are a few shots of the parade.
Is it me...or are they both smiling at me????
Once the Clysdales went by, it was time to head out to see Mark Turner's baseball game. More fun for me! Not only do I love watching baseball games, love getting a chance to see Kathy and Walt, but of course, I love taking photos at the game. Here are a few...

Barb! I am so impressed by your Blog and especially by your photos of the clydesdales (I love horses). That shot of the dalmation is great, too. I had no idea you were at the Spooner Rodeo Parade that day. We were just down the street from each other, come to think of it! Keep up the good work, and check out my Blog when you get the chance: http://www.blackirisframing.blogspot.com.
Sincerely, JoAnn in Spooner
P.S. Thank you for introducing me to Brad the other day, too!
