Norm & Gus/ armbike ride with Steve





we had a family weekend with sister Michelle and my nephew scott in town and my brother Norm...I wish I got pictures of michelle and scott but it was so quick our time together. short but sweet......Got the camera out this afternoon with Norm and his buddy Gus... Gus has a hard time resisting beer. (they have a lot in common).. Steve and I finally got out for an armbike ride. It was cool and windy but seemed as beautiful as ever..... said good bye to Norm after a beer downtown.....Thanks for all your hard work Norm.....look forward to the whole Kinscher clan getting together in WI in July.....

old friends came to visit for the day. great to see one of my best friends from college - Kristan and her family. such a good day. no matter how much time passes , true friends never loose a beat when reconnected. I am lucky to have those relationships in my life.
