The last weekend in July, 2013 Gene was invited to attend his 50th year high school class reunion. This event also coincided with Bratwurst Days in Stacyville, Iowa. Planning to use the motorhome as our "home base", we got permission to park for the weekend on the Smith family farm. We drove into the farmyard where Gene's grandparents, aunts and uncles once lived, and set up camp between the house and the chicken house.
Gene wondered what the deceased relatives would be thinking...probably discussing among themselves why he had spent all that money for an RV, and what was he doing parked next to the chicken house!
We had an enjoyable weekend attending reunion events; having lunch at Bubble's Cafe in Adams, MN; watching the Bratwurst Day parade and eating brats Saturday evening; and visiting old friends and relatives in the area.
