say goodbye, to the summer

Well, it's still in the 80's.

Friday Dan & Charity and their kids came for a quick visit. Steve came over, and we had pizza and a campfire.

Saturday morning Dan & I went to golf 9 holes with, and against Dad & Uncle Paul Scobey. They led the first three holes, back and forth in the middle, and we came on strong in the end. Dan finished with pars on 16,17, & 18. And after finally taking his new driver out of the bag on 18, drove pin-high to the greenside bunker, 330 yards. We earned a beer in the clubhouse.

The Baxters headed to visit Charity's sister's family in Wausau (they came to our house via Green Bay) around noon.

That afternoon I went to work at the KC food booth at Rhinelander's Oktoberfest. Their first try on Labor Day Weekend. I think they'll repeat the plan. It was quite busy. An excellent festive atmosphere.

After I stayed to help through Dad & Uncle Paul's shift, we stayed for a few beers and songs.

Sunday we played in my coworker's family's horseshoe tournament, always lots of fun. The SpeeDee families' members made a strong showing this year.

Monday the kids and I headed over to geocache around Ogema and Westboro, and we returned to have an end-of-summer dinner out at The Friendship House with Shelly.
