Dinner at the Glacier Club last night was excellent. I had a beef fillet. No one had the elk medallions. After dinner back at the “cabin” we played charades (less Bill & Cindy who crapped out and went to bed). The boys killed the girls.
July 4th broke clear and sunny. Bill Stehle, the honorary Master Sergeant, insisted we do an “honor the flag” ceremony. Boys only. The girls mostly laughed at us and took pictures.
Cookout
Preparing for the cookout we had a crisis in the kitchen. The oven caught on fire, apparently due to a faulty element. Disaster was averted, but there will be no cooking in the oven until it is repaired.
The cookout was traditional Fourth of July stuff (franks, brats, and burgers with the usual accouterments – chips, warm & cold potato salad, beer, soda,etc.) The whole crew was present along with a few guests from the area.
The beautiful morning unfortunately degraded into an overcast afternoon with a constant threat of showers. Not to be denied, a good time was had by all.
Fireworks
Fireworks were in downtown Durango (a fifteen minute ride). RAINY! We skipped them.
You guys are such a hoot. I loved the reunion weekend, felt like I was part of it!!!
Happy 4th from the AZ heat, a ‘cool’ 101!
Safe travels home to everyone. I so enjoyed getting to know everyone.
Greg, I learned “Present Arms” when I was 10! As well as “About Face,” and “At Ease” from my father. Who was your Drill Instructor? Back to Basic Training for you!
Looks like the Reunion Party was a great success. 🙂
Safe journey back.
