Notes from all over…
I’ve been eying Burger Night at the VFW for quite some time. I tried it out with my mom and brother-in-law. We had a really good time. The burgers were good and the atmosphere outstanding. If you’re looking for a place to go on Friday night I highly recommend it.

I remember a fishing opener where I went out to Black Bay wearing my parka and long underwear. Last week was pretty amazing with temps in the high 80s.

Isaiah spent hours in surgery removing the mass. It weighed over 10 pounds and he was concerned about the dog’s ability to survive the weekend so he wanted to stay close to it. It pulled through the weekend and is doing well.

Each of us has our own personal universe so to speak. It’s an area wherein most of our life is played out. Our livelihood, activities, entertainment, most social connections, and favorite fishing holes are found there. It’s our comfort zone.
