Fish fry



We didn't get much rain out of the storm line, but with no wind or lightening, our power was out for 3 hours this morning. Go figure!

We went to a fish fry at Margaret's this afternoon, in honor of Jesse's last visit home before he heads to Iraq. He'll be leaving next week. Jean and Kate & her family were there, as well as lots of folks from Bobby's family. Matt and Amanda (the bride and groom to be) were there, too. It was fun to see everybody, and get one more good hug from Jesse. He had lots of photos from the training at Fort Dix. Bobby has a big deep fryer, and his fried filets (catfish and crappie) are fantastic! It was a treat all the way around.

Margaret had goldfinches, an indigo bunting, and some rose-breasted grosbeaks at her feeders this afternoon. Very colorful!

The photos today are from this afternoon - my plate (half-way through) plus brothers and cousins acting up for the camera.

Wanted to wish the best for Jessie.

My nephew has been there about three weeks now.

Thanks, Bill - we can "hold hands" across the country - and gather in all the other men and women, too.
