Thanks Fellas!!!

A huge thank you to all of the Prior Lake Fire guys (and Jeff too) that came by and helped Holly! Jarod led the charge (thank you my red brother) and got a crew together to help paint, mow the lawn, and finish the play set.

Freddie working hard!

The Big Horn and Wolfman building the play set (with my kids taking care of the foreman duties), and Kleistie and Yurk on the burn detail.

Hello!

Hey eveybody,

Well, the seasons are changing. The highest temperature to date has been 112 degrees Fahrenheit (dry heat my.......) and we had a killer sand storm. I am baffled by the fact that so much dust can be in the air on a relatively calm day! The weirdest thing is the orange "fog" that results. I took the picture to the right on my way out to lunch at 1130AM. The dust actually accumulated! I guess that's why they call it the "crappy sand box".

I'll write again soon!

True Americans!

I was going to post this earlier and in true Zimm
fashion, I forgot!

Anyways, we stopped in Bangor, Maine on our trip over here. When we arrived, the terminal was lined with veterans and citizens. They welcomed us with loud cheers and clapping. It was truly humbling to see all of the people there to show their appreciation for us. As it turns out, these great Americans were part of the "Maine Troop Greeters". These are a great group of people that provided an awesome layout of goodies, great conversation, and they even offered us free cell phones to call our family...any where in the United States! Check out there website at http://www.mainetroopgreeters.com/ If you find your way into the troop photo section, we went through on March 31st. I can tell you that I am looking forward to seeing these fine folks on the way home too....after all, they had great cookies!

Till next time,
Zimm
