Dear Family and Friends,
Monday and Tuesday of this week found us in Springfield, checking out Bass Pro Shop again (truly amazing place) and just relaxing.
On Wednesday we headed out to Lake Stockton where we stayed for the rest of the week with Roger's cousin Kathryn. Kathryn, Mary and all of their many friends were wonderful to us. Thank you K and M for your wonderful hospitality. The highlight of the trip was a cruise on Lake Stockton. It is a pristine Corps of Engineers lake that is operated by the State of Missouri. Mary and Kathryn own several water toys capped by their 29 foot PROUD MARY. What a gorgeous sail boat! Needless to say they love spending time on the water. We will have to go back to Lake Stockton one day, because high winds kept us from sailing. We did have a great afternoon on the pontoon boat, cruising and swimming in the quarry area. Thank you Captain Marcia for taking such great care of us!

Monday we leave for Dallas, Texas, where we will have fun with our grandchildren, Abby and Jackson!
Did Roger go fishing? All that water and greenery is absolutely beautiful. Still dry and hot here. I could smell a little smoke in the air this morning when I took the dog for a walk.
