We had a small crew this year.  But we still had fun.  We hiked around Ha Ha Tonka State Park, enjoyed some wine at Riverbird Winery.  Had a fire pit and composed and sang a song for Tim to get well soon, sung to the Folsom Prison melody.

I hear the cart a coming it’s rolling down the hall

And I can’t see the sunshine since I can’t recall

I’m stuck in the ole ward and time keep draggin on

But that grumpy old nurse, she won’t leave me alone

When I was just a baby, my Mama told me Tim

Always be a good boy, don’t have too much sin

That Doc gave me a shot just to watch me cry

When I hear the cart a rolling, I hang my head and sigh

I bet there’s Molokai Folks eating in Missouri

They’re probably drinking coffee in the  Church Lobby

But I  didn’t see it coming, I know I’ll soon be free

But The pupu gangs together and that’s tortures me

When they free me from this Bed, I’ll be on my Combine

I will move on down my field farther down the line

Far from This Ole Hospital that’s where I want to roam

And I’ll let my wife Susan come take me back home

Wowza!  This was the year of the Tornado!  We all brought our campers up to Susan and Tim's and spent the evening in their Garage Karoke bar staying up way past 10 PM.  Then sometime over night a Tornado struck!  All of us in the campers felt it, but non more than Phil and Vickie, they say there camper came off the ground.......   Susan and Tim's home did not have damage, but they lost two beloved trees during the storm.  Being from the farming community Tim and his boys cleared up the mess in nothing flat.  We also enjoyed some absolutely beautiful small towns and some great meals at home and out on the town too.
