Hello and welcome back to our "blog."
We left home this morning and are on our way to the Canadian Maritime Provinces. We drove as far as Joliet, Il and are staying at the RV park at the Empress Casino.
We stopped in Bettendorf, IA and had lunch with friends, Dan and Bobbi Ford. I hired Dan 18 years ago, and he has been a good friend ever since. Their daughter, Bailey is graduating from high school this year; we got an invitation to her open house but had to visit a week early because of our travel plans. Baily is headed to the University of Iowa and wants to be a doctor! We had a nice visit with the Ford's.
I have posted a picture of my wooden boat that I have been working on for the past year, whenever I'm home. It's a cedar stirip, V-bottom, fishing boat. All I have to do is cane the seats and put two more coats of finish on the inside.
That's it for today. Just a start. Hope you will follow along.
HEY~ You have OTHER friends in Bettendorf, you know! Our daughter is finishing up K so we could have celebrated that! If she goes to Iowa, Jeff (Cyclone) will likely make her pay for it herself!
