Sept 5th, 2011: The actual holiday was rather low key except that I went downtown to see Lady Victory before she goes back to top of the Soldier's and Sailor's Monument tomorrow morning. Recently restored, she looked fabulous. And the closeup view was not to be missed.
Sept 4th, 2011: The heat wave finally broke. Just in time for a trip to Bloomington. Patricia was over for the Holiday and we all had a good time. The ladies went to the 4th Street Festival while Charles and I went for a 21 mile bike ride. We explored many of the Bloomington bike trails and even met up with Jennifer's Chris at his new office.
Sept 3rd, 2011: Start of a busy Labor Day Holiday. Jane and Brett invited us to meet Brett's mother and father -- Charlotte and Ron; and especially, his daughter Emmaleigh, soon to be three. We had a nice visit and I think Emmaleigh really enjoyed her visit.
