TOP OF THE HOUR

FROM THE COLORADO RIVER IN THE MOHAVE VALLEY TO THE MIGHTY MISSISSIPPI RIVER IN PRAIRE DU CHEIN.

 

OUR FIRST DAY HOME IN WISCONSIN, WE DECIDED TO SPLIT UP TO VISIT FAMILY AND FRIENDS. MARY HEADED OUT TO THE FARM TO VISIT WITH HER BROTHER AND SISITER-IN-LAW, WHILE REX HEADED ACROSS THE RIVER TO HAVE LUNCH WITH MY OLE FRANKVILLE BUDDIES.

MY FAVORITE X-COUSIN-IN-LAW….

NOT TOO BAD FOR 50 !!!

AND OF COURSE IT WOULDN’T BE FRANKVILLE WITHOUT DANNY BECKER.

WE TOLD SOME OLD STORIES AND NEW STORIES, IT WAS GREAT TO SEE YOU BOTH.

SINCE IT WAS EARLY AFTERNOON AND WE WERE BOTH STILL SOBER WE HEADED OVER TO FIND OUR PRAIRE DU CHEIN BUDDIES, TODD AND MIKEY.

 

FINDING THESES TWO PUT A QUICK END TO SOBRITY. TODD FRIED UP FRESH BLUE GILLS AND MIKEY KEPT THE DRINKS FLOWING FREELY, AND EVEN CAUGHT THE “TOP OF THE HOUR” .

THE “TOP OF THE HOUR” IS AN OLD TRADITION OF HAVING A SHOT OF GOLDSHALGER ON THE HOUR WHILE OUT DRINKING. HERE’S TO GOLD FLECKS IN YOUR SHIT TOMORROW!!

IN THE MORNING INSTEAD OF  GOLD,WE WERE AWAKENED BY MARY OUT IN MIKEY’S YARD MOWING LAWN. SOMETHING ABOUT PAYING OFF A DEBT FROM A BAR DICE GAME THE EVENING BEFORE.

IT FEELS LIKE A FREMONT STREET HANGOVER….
