Lois McKinzie

The picture of Lois McKinzie who passed away June 24, 2016
was inadvertently left out of the news last week so it is in this one.
Kenny and I decided to go camping with the McGraths this
weekend! We didn’t travel too far and we were constantly going home to take
care of animals and get batteries for the boat and propane as we both ran out.
Good thing we had extra tanks at home!
We had quite a storm late Sunday afternoon and evening. We
didn’t get much rain (.23) but we sure had lots of loud booming heartstopping
thunder accompanied by an intense lightening show. We sure were glad we didn’t
get the tornadoes and large hail that they had in other places around the area.

Moose at Hiddenwood Picnic Grounds
|
I told you last week that I would get the moose picture that
Staci McGrath took of the moose that visited them while camping. John said he
had just let the dogs out when he saw it and he had to hurry and get them back
in before they saw it! The moose had gone for a little swim by the boat dock
and then started wandering down the road to where they were camped. Kinda scary
if he would have been mean but also quite neat as Staci was able to get a great
picture.
This is it for the news this week, looks like everyone was
busy camping and attending weddings and street dances and later hiding from the
weather.
