Cutlers of Stillwater: Beer Brats and Burgers

It's been a while since I have really had the time to write. And now I have to think about what has been going on the past few weeks.

Bob Cutler and his Great grandson, Ridley Holland

Earlier this month we had Brother Bill over to celebrate his birthday. Bob also joined us with Vickie and Ridley. It was a bit on the cool side for the first of August so we spent most of the time inside. Jeff found a barbecue recipe in a magazine and it was pretty good.

Robin arrived for a visit on Thursday the 6th and will be heading out this evening to return to Bethesda later this afternoon. He and Jeff took a bicycle repair/maintenance class that was held on two Sundays. I have gotten the impression from both father and son that the class is informative and fun. They also had the opportunity to go on a couple challenging bike rides together. Robin is in a little better shape than Jeff, but he hung in there and did his best to keep up. Of course Jeff had the floating on a cloud thing on his side. Jeff beams when he spends time with the kids.

I wonder if that a bit how Doris feels with Char as a roomy for the month? I know I am drained of energy after one day of trying to keep up with her. Doesn't sound like Char is having too much trouble finding things to keep her busy above and beyond the new job. I believe she will be moving into her own place in September. Then it will be a matter of getting her things to Sheboygan Wis. The place she found will allow her two large dogs, and the two birds. There may even be room to store her motorcycle.

Couple cute pet pictures.

And 'Mr. Trouble is my middle name', Willie. He has been returned to us by two different neighbors after he nosed his way out the door. There must be a vacuum or some sort of strange phenomenon that acquires at times that hinders the latch from catching and he seems to take advantage of the situation. On all occasions there seems to be no problem retrieving him. One more thing Willie can add to his list of mischief tasks. We have found that after four years of hanging out with Goldie he has also learned that if he "sits pretty" a treat will follow

During Robins visit we had some pictures taken at a photo studio in Stillwater to have group shots of the Cutlers of Stillwater. Only Char was missing this time. Later that evening we had

family and some friends over for burgers and brats. It was a good night with Beer Brats and Burgers.
