German American Day

 Saturday, August 9, 2025

After my hair I filled the gas tank and picked up a fruit fly trap at Ace Hardware.  I had to go back when I realized that I left my glasses behind.

I drove to Peter's and we went to Carl Schurz Park using my GPS.  Again it took us off the track.  There must be some conflict with my phone and his car.  I'd like to practice when we have no place special to go, but we're always going somewhere and there isn't an opportunity to practice.  We eventually got there and got in a long line of cars coming from both directions trying to get into the park.  My handicap hanger came in handy and we were parked right in front.  A man in a Jeep was waiting to drive us as far as the rest rooms.  He offered to wait for us to take us to the pavilion, but we declined and could walk the rest of the way.

As many people as there were, they were spread throughout the grounds and we had no trouble finding a spot in the pavilion.  The music was loud and it seemed rather close, so we moved to an outside table.  It was overcast and we had a slight breeze.

We each had a beer and sat outdoors until the skies looked threatening.  We went in the pavilion and had corn on the cob and a pork sandwich.  Pretty soon we had a good downpour.  The kids had a blast getting wet from the rain coming off the roof.


We used up more tickets with strawberry shortcake and coffee.  We stayed a while after the rain stopped.
