HOW ABOUT THAT HAT, SCARF AND THE SUSPENDERS?

FINIALLY HAD TIME TO TAKE OFF A COUPLE DAYS THIS PAST WEEKEND.    LEFT
TO RIGHT, MY BROHTER CHUCK (BLUE SHIRT) OF MILWAUKEE  .. TERRIBLE PICTURE OF ME .. THEN NANCY JO ..  SISTER-IN-LAW BETTY, WIFE OF BROTHER GERALD OF HORICON    CHUCK IS YOUNGEST AND GERALD IN THE MIDDLE.   ALL 4 YEARS APART.
CHUCK AND GERALD RETIRED.  NANCY AND I OF COURSE CHEERED FOR THE ST. LOUIS CARDINALS.    CHUCK, BETTY AND GERALD FOR THE  BREWERS.    CARDINALS WON 4 TO 1....TOOK 3 OF 4 IN THE SERIES AT BEAUTIFUL MILLER PARK.   GREAT WEATHER, BUT THEY STILL THEY HAD THE ROOF CLOSED FOR THE GAME.   
HAD FUN WEEKEND.   ON WAY HOME, STOPPED AT A DULUTH FASCTORY OUTLET
STORE AT MONTICELLO, WISCONSIN (BUSY STORE) AND SPENT AN HOUR AT NEW GLARUS, THE SWISS CITY.   A VERY BUSY TOWN SUNDAY.     A GALENA-LIKE TOURIST
TOWN NORTH OF MONROE, BUT MAYBE EVEN BETTER THAN GALENA.    GET THIS,
I BOUGHT DULUTH UNDERWARE SHORTS FOR $30.   NO, NOT 3 PAIR FOR $30.
GOING DOWN THE HIGHWAY, THERE WAS A HUGE BILLBOARD, AND RIGHT IN MIDDLE
A PICTURE OF THE SHORTS.    THEY ARE WORTH THE MONEY.   I'LL BE ORDERING
SOME MORE.
