Another Americano Summer 2013

We’re back in Prescott, working and enjoying cool and sometimes cold wet weather. We spent the month of August back in Gallatin north of Kansas City with Mom and our family. Another good get-a-way from Phoenix. The first 2 weeks of August no AC was required as they had record lows. Eventually the warm and finally very hot weather arrived before Labor day. We had no projects this year so we had lots of time to shop for primitive treasures for the cabin. We were very successful as you will see by the truck trailer load looking more like the Beverley Hillbillies returning to AZ after Labor day. I’ve packed the entire summer into one blog. Album photos on the right will take you to more photos to dig in deeper and see all the photos. All these photos are available to down load on my Google+. join Lowell McCulley

You can hear the track from Phyllis & Rex’s on Saturday night and we’ve always wanted to check it out. Fun night of racing and music with JD & Lisa.
