I'm Back and Ready to Blog!

Hello everyone! Sorry for the dry spell but I have been a little bit busy. I went home to see my parents for a week. I had a wonderful time. As you can see they are doing great! We are looking forward to going back at the end of the summer.
While I was home, my sister came down from Colorado Springs. We celebrated her birthday and my Mom's. That is a question mark on the cake for both of their ages. While I was gone, Jason was busy holding down the fort and still working. Lucas had his "exhibition" project. I was told he did a great job and it looks like it.
Once again, all of this work is done at school. Parent's have no involvement which I think is wonderful!
I believe the kindergarteners and first graders were some of his test subjects for track and field events.
They also kept busy by swimming in the lake and over at a friend's house. It was a hot weekend and since there is no air conditioning - the water was their best friend.
Neuchatel held an Antique Car and Bike show last weekend. I look forward to seeing it next year because they had such a good time and it was held right across the street from our place.

Some people dressed in costumes.
It's funny how the purpose of the trunk has changed.
I would have liked to see how that man got up there. It looks like that would be hard to ride.
They were even able to snap a picture of one of today's nice, fancy cars!
Stay tuned, we have a few adventures happening the next couple of weekends.

A Beautiful Day!

It is a beautiful day today in Neuchatel. I guess I just needed to post that. It is 70 degrees and lots of blue sky!

I also have been wanting to post a picture of the broom that the street workers use to clean the sidewalks. It's a twig broom like a witch's broom. They must work pretty well because they use them everywhere. The broom is on top of the street cleaner in the picture.
I hope everybody is having a good May 7th.
