Busy sabbatical ...

That is an oxymoron. But so far we have spent a weekend in Walnut, IA, (all the girls came with us it was so fun) attempted to go on a motorcycle trip (it died and we had to be rescued on Father's Day by our friends, Doug and Kathy), did some catfishing without success, Bryan slaved away on the pond retaining wall that got destroyed in a storm, and we are currently in St. Joseph, MO because we were supposed to go to Kansas City for 3 days but that fell through so we decided to come down here and bum around and shop antique stores.
