It was a nice 4-day weekend for me and a welcome break from the constant meetings and phone calls at work. \u00a0Predictably, we had our informal gathering in Alden. \u00a0I only took a few pictures with my cell phone, so I pilfered shots from Becky’s camera card to fill the gaps.<\/p>\n

The weather was nice, with rain falling only on Sunday morning. \u00a0Master multi-tasker Al relieved me from the lawn cutting duties by taking his grandsons for a ride on the tractor while cutting the grass. \u00a0I rode about 35 miles on the old gold Honda, which is really running well. \u00a0Al’s grandsons Aiden and Brody enjoyed the pontoon boat, piloting it on a few occasions. \u00a0On Saturday afternoon, a bald eagle circled the lake, hunting for a fishy meal.<\/p>\n

Thanks to all who shared their time with us in Alden this Memorial Day weekend.<\/p>\n
