Tonight we went to dinner with Bill and Jeanette, Dick (Jeanette’s brother) and Jean Bartmess and John and Jean Coulter. The Coulters operate a family farm where they grow about 4,000 acres of corn and soybeans. After dinner we went to Koontz Lake where John and Jean have a lake front cottage for an evening boat ride.

Char on the phone with our son, Mike.

It was a beautiful night for a cruise around the lake. We have always enjoyed watching the sun go down and tonight we had the privilege of witnessing a stunning sun set from John’s very comfortable boat. We had such a great time that no one wanted to stop. Although it was dark when we docked and went ashore, we could hear the laughter and see the lights of other boats that chose to remain on the lake enjoying the perfect night.

Thank you John and Jean for inviting us to join you for a terrific evening on the water.
