Hot, sunny and as my wife has come up with 'spicy'; that's what the weather is like this week. Personally I enjoy the hot weather; but it can grind on you a little. Speaking of the grind; The KCLY Community Wheat Harvest is at full throttle this week. You can follow it by tuning to 100.9 FM and following the KCLY Harvest Tour. Duane Toews along with Joyce Beck and Robin Sherbert will keep you up to date; and for those working the harvest; they'll have cold pop and water for you.
Be careful out there!!

Back In The States
Hola!
The first week of June our family flew into Cancun and then stayed on the Riviera Maya; what an amazing vacation we had. Kim and I had been to Peurto Vallarta two years ago (my first trip to the ocean) with two close friends and had a wonderful time. But after visiting the other side and seeing the white sand and goergous water...WHEN we go back it will be to this area again...it was absolutely beautiful.
For Zach and Amira it was their first trip out of the country and to the ocean as well. Amira I think could hang out in the ocean 24/7. We ate, swam, ate, tanned, ate, swam...you get the picture. Actually I think it seemed we ate more than we did; we were on the move or on the beach a lot. We did dine at a Brazilian resteraunt that served SEVEN meats during the meal; each brought out to our table and sliced off by one of the chefs; everything but the Green Sausage (that's really what it's called; and what it looked like) was delicious; what a cool experience to really 'Fine Dine"...OK the hot towel before dinner to wash hands---and outside in on all that silverware...right?
The highlight of the trip came on a guided snorkel trip. It was the 2nd largest Coral Barrier Reef in the world...and it was amazing. If you've not done a snorkel tour before; we highly suggest it. Be ready for a decent little workout...with a view of things I've never seen in my life. WOW! We were really glad we took the time to do it.
And of course a highlight was also getting back home...we had such a wonderful time; but there is something about getting back home isn't there!
Have a great day; Rocky Downing
