A Tad Bit Windy Here ...

... but only a tad ...

little parts blowing off our house ...

trees are self-pruning

and deck furniture blowing about ...

a tad breezy!

have a great rest-of-the-week,

Rog and I would like to welcome you to a little photo synopsis of Oktoberfest 2008 at GHB (photo by Tracy). A bunch of folks took a bunch of great pictures and I've tried to include a few in this post. It was hard to pick which ones to use and there are a bunch out there that I haven't even seen yet. You can view Frank's photos at his web site. I will try to give credit to the photographer who took the below photos.

(just click above on "Frank's photos"

and you'll link directly to his site)

I will 'be frank', some of the names have been abbreviated to protect the innocent. Well here we go, this is how October 11th progressed ...

The day started out very well for Tim with this catch from the boat launch at the creek!
