What A Great Time With The Young Folks

Saturday night Sue's folks (The Harv and Molly),Sue and this humble writer ventured out to St. Peter to Patrick's On Third to watch "Useful Jenkins" a five member band that included our nephew Josh and our nieces husband, Travis.
Of course we had to get some pictures...you may recognize some of the suspects...Josh, Brooke, Harv and Sue.




The band started playing shortly after 10:00 (my bedtime) and it didn't take long for the dance floor to get some action.



Before the night was done, the dance floor was packed with people clutching their drinks for dear life. I also saw some people clutching each other, but that will be a different story for a different time.

Here is a picture of Brook's husband, Travis. He is on the far right.


And a few more shots....



Sue's brother Bob and his wife Molly were also there. They are nice people and fun to be around.

If you ever get the opportunity to see this band, please do. Here is a link to their site. You can listen to their material and even order their new CD if you wish. Useful Jenkins Site

There was an older couple on the dance floor the entire night...(the guy with the white beard and wife in long dress) who had a healthy attitude. While talking to Sue...He said..."Growing old is inevitable....Growing up is optional". In the words of our niece, Brooke... Yup....that saying belongs on a t-shirt or bumper sticker.

Coyote Ridge Construction Update

It has been a few days since I spared you the details of our construction project so if you are interested, read on my friends.
Construction gurus Bruce and Mike have been bust mudding and taping. They finished that multi day project Wednesday and commenced sanding Thursday. Once the dust settled, they put a light "knock down"surface on the walls and ceiling. We like the look as opposed to flat surfaces.
I just received an email from Bruce saying that they would be here Monday morning to clean up the floors and prime the walls and ceiling. Then the paint and the building of the cedar beams that will encase the horizontal supports will be put up. There will also be beams that run up the cathedral ceiling. After the painting, they will install a 5'x4' window where the door to no where was.
I think they will install the fireplace hearth slate tiles and the stone fireplace backing next week as well. All of that has to be in before they start laying the wood plank floor.





So there is the update.

Tonight we are going to Patrick's On Third in St. Peter,MN to watch my nephew and niece's husband perform. They are in a band called "Useful Jenkins". They are REALLY good. We are taking Sue's folks with us and meeting more of the family there. It should be a lot of fun and of course we will have pictures for you afterwards.

The weather here today is delightful. It is sunny and in the low 50's with highs near 60 on Sunday. The weather prognosticators are telling us that we will have temps in the 60's through Tuesday. No complaints from me!

Tune in again real soon for another edition of "Now What Are They Doing?"
