Go St. Jo!

Governor Jay Nixon came to the groundbreaking ceremony for Boehringer Ingelheim's new warehouse. Later, Boehringer had an open house for their new corporate headquarters located here in St. Joseph.

The Farmer in the Dell

Despite the drought, my tomato plants look the best that they have for several years. I have "harvested"only three ripe tomatoes so far this summer but I see many green ones maturing. Maybe I'll get some in September.

Trails West!

Another Trails West! Patron Party. This one celebrated the 20th anniversary of Trails West!. I wore 11 buttons from the past and my original tee shirt from 1993. I have posters for every year of the festival dating back to 1994. Those from 1996 on are signed by the artists who created them.

Sister Dot and I went Saturday afternoon to check out the crafts and artist booths and eat festival food. I had Greek chicken and salad, Dot had bbq pork. We finished by sharing a funnel cake, Dot's first....but probably not her last.
