Paul & Nancita discuss the future Thistle Acres

Although this photo was taken some time ago, it is believed that, during the downing of the above fruit drinks, the idea for Thistle Acres was born!

Paul & Nancy were just resting up from measuring, and then cutting to exact length, every blade of grass on the immaculate "Manicured Acres".

Thistle Acres, South Dakota

Paul mentors Ron in smoke/grilling

Well, young feller, you put the meat on like this here, and then you- oh, yes, you do need to have hot coals first, good question!
Next, you move the meat to the back of the grill...
What? Oh, yes, another good question- you DO need to use meat, not bean sprouts or tofu...

Then, you close down the draft- what? Oh- yes, you SHOULD always ask your wife permission first- and then...

BigBandPhil and Milky sing for Holly!

Holly is here being congratulated by her grandparents, "Big Band" Phil and his FIRST wife, Milky/Carolyn Bowers!
I hope to record BBnd and Milky this weekend in Chicago in performance- if I do, I will upload it via youtube to... THIS AMAZING BLOG!! YES YES YES!!

It was a great party, on May 26, 2007- many, many Bowerses and friends of Moos Road were there, and a gala time was had by all...

Including:
1. Admiring Jay's square foot garden!
2. Listening to BBPhil and Milky sing a song for Holly next to the tent
3.Eating "Pauled Pork", grilled on the smoker by... PAUL!
4. Jeep rides in the CJ5!
5. Seeing all the friends and neighbors in their "native habitat", eating and drinking in a tent in the yard.

I felt particularly pleased to have plucked the indigenous "Wendtland Road" natives from their own sad, third-world environs, and enabled them to have a cultured afternoon on Moos Road, eating cooked food!, and learning, like Eliza Doolittle did, to eat with utensils!

The highlight, though, was when we all sang:

"Coulee folks should stick together, Coulee folks should all be pals!
Wendland dance with the Moos Road daughters,
Moos Road dance with the Wentlundt gals!!"

It's great when folks can all get along!
