Anne in parade...

Anne drove a convertible in the annual Waunafest Parade today. She was helping Peng, a friend who is running for a state Assembly position in our district. We've had fun over the years with Peng -- got to go to his naming ceremony a few years back and drink toast after toast with the elders. More often he and his children come over to fish from our dock. 

Waunakee is the town just to the northwest of us.  It's slogan is, "The only Waunakee in the world."  But their parade was pretty similar to most town parades. Politicians, businesses, youth groups, cloggers, equipment like fire trucks, and Shriners! - those big men driving around in circles in those little cars. 

Vote for Peng!!

Paddle & Portage



The Paddle and Portage race was today. Anne and Alana have won a few ribbons at this event (1st, 2nd and 3rd place finishes). With Alana in DC, Anne's needed to find a new partner. Last year she did it with her cousin Ellen. This year she volunteered to direct traffic and keep participants safe! The bandages on her chin are a result of the two skin cancers spots removed from her face a couple of days ago. All is well on that front.

Also, the sandhill cranes are around this summer. This time there are two families. Notice the high water levels behind the cranes and the underwater dock that leads to the boat.
