Regatta 2008 ~ You just gotta ~

We gotta Regatta you know!





It began with a flag ceremony.



The fans came ~

These folks were set ~

They had their cooler, chairs, hats???

There were fast boats!!!!!!!!!
There were ski boats!

There were old boats!

Terry was lovin' it!

There were silly boats!

This tow boat was my favorite from the "Anything that floats"

There were "What the heck is that?" boats ~ yes it is a floating quad ~

And then there were lighted boats and that means it's coming to an end...

We had another great Regatta weekend. For us some things never get old.

Good friends, good food, good fun.

What guys do!

So one morning us girls were hangin' around in the sun and realized it had been some time since we saw our guys around. We began to wonder where they might be so we went for a walk. And here's what we found. Jack had his hatch open and they were all sitting there solving a problem with the engine. Nobody was actually turning wrench, but that boat was getting fixed! I believe this is known as the thinking stage!

We have big news in our little town of Beaver!

Barack Obama began his campaign rally right here in Beaver!!!

How cool is that? What an honor for our town. And I watched it all unfold right out my window of the Bank all day.

~ They came and took all the mailboxes ~

~ The fences were put up ~
~ The flags were hung ~
~ The sharp shooters were positioned on top of the Bank ~
~ The crowd gathered ~
~ And then there he was ~
He brought his wife and the Bidens along and lots and lots of Secret Service people who found the crowd well behaved and very eager to hear his message. There were lots of cheers and and flags flying and people clapping and whistling during his talk. I had chicken skin just to think that it was all happening here. The gazebo looked great. It felt so American.

I am looking forward to election day!
