Now that's what I'm talking about!

Just South of Hastings, Minnesota is the Little Log House Pioneer Village. The fourth weekend in July they hold the most amazing Antique Power Show you will ever see. This is not your ordinary Old Tractor Thrashing get together. A few highlights of the Village are the replicas of the old Hastings Spiral Bridge, St. Boniface Church, and a working Grist Mill. Sylvia's flower gardens are beyond breathtaking.

This years Power show features National Harvester. The action is nonstop with live music, a western shoot 'em up, parades, truck and tractor pulls. For a complete list of events go to the Antique Power Show schedule.

Not the first Barge this Spring to come through Hastings, but, the first one I had the chance to see. There is nothing like walking along the river next to a masive Barge heading for Lock and Dam No.2.

The observation deck allows you to watch boats, barges and sometimes even a Paddle Wheeler as they raise and lower in the locks getting ready to navigate the next part of the Mississippi.

My grandsons love to push the BIG GREEN BUTTON and listen as "some guy" talks about the Lock and Dam and the whole process of how the boats enter and leave.

It's a beautiful, short walk from the Historic Downtown of Hastings. You pass Lake Rebecca and it's many ducks and geese, fisher people, and boaters using the public boat dock and marina.

A short drive from the Twin Cities. Come down and visit sometime!

Derby Up Guys here comes the competition.

My bright spot this month is the preparation of the fastest cars in my grandson, Colton's, Cub Scout Pinewood Derby.

When I say CARS you have to understand this is a family project. 4 year old brother Calvin is making his version of Scooby Doo.

Mom is doing the Pink Cadilac ... With a KISS!!!

And of course the reason for all this SANITY...Our Cub Scout Colton is doing the fastest Camoflaged Army Jeep the Montgomery, Minnesota derby will ever see

.

It's kind of nice stepping away from the Bad News hitting every area of our lives and just relaxing in the thrill of creating simple memories with our daughter and grandsons.

MARCH 14TH IS DERBY DAY IN MONTGOMERY, MINNESOTA
