The Edina Fourth of July Parade began at 10 AM

At 5 AM, Danielle and Susan went to the parade route

and set out 29 chairs for family and friends.

It was much appreciated. A fine parade making us all proud to be Americans.

What is not shown here are the dozen polititians and their supporters who plastered us with buttons and stickers

Or all of the beads and candy that were handed out leading to some serious sugar rush amoung the kids

the scientific Bible class. Huh?

These are the friends including Mia up front, her mother Susan to the right. Ruby, Danielle and Josephine on the left. Mimi (Vera) and Steve behind Mia.

July 5th: A day at the dog races organized by Vicki and Phil. This is their Afgan.

July 7th: White Fish Lake

We spent three glorious days at the Ziebarth cabin, three hours north of the Twin Cites.

This is the pontoon. No photos here of the speed boat, the row boat, the sail boat or the canoe.
