Xylophile, as said little over a month ago: My day would soon come

Today my youngest daughter graduated with flying colors! If it weren't for my recently purchased PB-hemp, my scalp would leave my head from sheer pride

Great picture Ole! Congratulations to you and your daughter!

What will she be doing now, Ole?

And I just priced a new set of Lindberg glasses, from your neighborhood.
Do you know anybody at the factory?

I'm afraid I don't know the company - or anyone working there. I found their website, and their work looks super nice and well crafted. I'm looking forward to see a mugshot in new frames

She scored top grades almost all the way (best sheet I've ever seen in person), so she fulfills the admission requirements for all DK university educations. If the result hasn't changed her mind, she will work towards a master in Math, followed by a bachelor in Biology. Mathematical modelling and optimization in the bio-field, as I understand it. Many things can change over 7-10 years of studies, though

Thank you, Roger

My company hosted a golf tournament at The Manor Golf & Country Club today. I was in charge of monitoring Hole 4, the $10,000 Hole In One contest. No one got it, the closest was 6 feet from the pin. I created my own little living room, complete with a tent, two fold up chairs, pillows, side table, cooler, lots of water, and a portable bar (it belonged to my wife's grandfather).

I had a great perch with a terrific view. The temp wasn't that bad until around 11 AM. It started creeping up to the 90's. It was mid-90's by the time we wrapped up.

I received LOTS of comments about the portable bar. I was making Manhattans. It was a hit!

Summer nights along the river in Funkytown. Every other Thursday means Big Band Night at the Pavilion.

The Tom Daugherty Orchestra playing some 40s-50s tunes...

Some dancin'...(and good to see quite the number of "Yutes" out on the dance floor, at times outnumbering the more mature dancers - some even in their teens)

A nice sunset along the river...

Mama duck and her seven ducklings...

and a 60s Resistol Milan. Good times.

This granddad just loves that pic, Michael! A great hat in a wonderful situation

- and a great stache too. I believe it takes quite a brim to keep it dry on a rainy day

I live about 1/2 mile from The Manor North entrance...just across the county line where you can feel the taxes drop....

So does my co-worker. That's exactly why he moved to that side, as well. Shame we haven't grabbed a coffee or lunch.

Let me know when you're up this way again. I work out of my house mostly & look for a reason to get out to grab a bite to eat. Like to talk about your hattery venture/adventures....

As always on July 7. my son and I celebrated our mutual birthday (and my late dad's) in the World's second oldest amusement park, The Tivoli Gardens, together with my daughter in law, grand children and my youngest daughter.

It's really a picturesque old park, but I'm afraid I enjoy being with my family so much, I tend to forget to record the sceneries. Anyway here's a few pics from this year:

- now there's a tall full crown for ya, right there ;o)

 

[Michael R.]

WOW ! That's Amazing Ole ! Happy Birthday to You and your Son ! Your Dad was born on the same Date 7/7 ? Looks like Fun ! Loving the Peters Bros !

 

[Joao Encarnado]

Happy birthday to both!

 

[tropicalbob]

I took my son there when he was six years old. He still says that it's his all-time favorite amusement park. Charming place.
