Sunday - August 31

 A perfect Sunday with sunshine and a high of 70.    We went for a few groceries, then to 10:30 Mass with Father Jonathan - he told us that in light of the terrible tragedy in Minneapolis, the doors to the church will be closed during all children's masses and the police chief personally said he would be present.    They will also up the presence of police security in the school area.   As he said "it's sad that it's come to this, but that's how it is now....and the safety of the children is most important".

Went to WalMart after Mass to pick up a Rx and on home.   Time to clean Catina (outside) - boy, did she need it, but lots of elbow grease, scrubbing and she is glowing!   

We had planned to go to the 4 P festival (perch, peach, pierogi, and polka) downtown sponsored by the Knights of Columbus for an early dinner, but Donna invited us to The Orchard Farm Stand along with Bob, Bruce and Christine.    It was a gorgeous evening to sit outdoors and we all love the food, so....that's what we did and had a great time.  Bree was our waitress (same sweet gal we had Friday with Steve and Margaret).

Back to the marina and grabbed some hoodies and blankets and then enjoyed a wonderful cruise on Bob's pontoon on the Portage River - nice music and weather was perfect.  Said our good byes to Bruce and Christine and BIG thanks to Bob and Donna for this wonderful ride.
