Fortunately, after several hours of miserable car repair to replace our serpentine belt on the car, Will got our car ready to roll. So, on the Fourth of July, we were able to make our family’s get together on a lake near son Bill’s property.<\/p>\n

Luckily, the rain stayed away all day and we got to visit with everyone, have fun with the grandchildren. Bill took us on a pontoon boat ride over the lake, where we saw a loon family.
