First Day of Fall or Last Day of Summer


Harbinger
Neighbors gathered on the tarmac tonight to salute the passing of the seasons and admire the new sealcoat job on our driveways. Highlight was Tom Story's spiffy new Schwinn. His old bike tumbled off the bumper as they careened through northern Minnesota on their most recent camping adventure. Care free, they drove merrily onward until a motorist flagged them down to notify them of their mishap. Tonight, tarmac talk eventually turned to wedding anniversaries (Stan and Kathleen's 30th is coming up this weekend) so veteran husband John Gerken set the tone for the romantic twilight evening with this observation: "I never knew what true happiness was until I got married. .  . and then it was too late."

Proud owners of a spanky new seal-coated tarmac. Party on!
