We had a busy day. We headed way north to a family reunion for Far Guys Fathers side of the family. We got to hear some “Lady” stories..it seems she was the Mother of “Tippy” who has been in a few of Wistful Wednesday posts.
Far Guy made a fruit bowl out of a watermelon and then filled it with fruit. Chance was on his best behavior and kept a close eye on a dog at a neighboring cabin.
It smelled like “Christmas” up there.
They missed the big winds last Monday night but had them on Wednesday night. In the Lake Movil area it seemed that the big old pines were uprooted by the winds. Chain saws were buzzing on this corner and Christmas was in the air.
We saw something fly from this nest. If I have to guess I would say it was a Golden Eagle.
I had Saturday as one of my “off” days for the month of July. It is real nice to get two extra days off every month so I can go to a picnic or one of Far Guy’s Doctors appointments etc…
Somewhere someplace in Missouri a dozen families were granted miracles Saturday morning. A van filled with Boy Scouts was broadsided and then rolled over on one of the roads up north. The driver of the van was air lifted out. All of the scouts escaped serious injury. Far Guy was one of the first responders. First Responders never get the recognition that they deserve. Thanks guys! 
I have to tell you that there are no golden eagles in MN or the midwest. I got corrected a few years ago myself.
we have “baldies only” but the young ones are totally brown for the first years of their lives..no white head or tail for 2-3 years I was told.
