Fresh Corn!

We headed up to Toledo this morning to fly and also to bring home the club mowers.  Every year when we tear down the field so the Grange can have the Threshing Bee, I have been bringing the mower and roller home.  I change the oil, sharpen the blades and do minor repairs, since the club now has two mowers, it took two trips, one for the mowers and one for the roller and  barbecue .  The Barbecue has not been getting hot enough, so I thought this was  a good time to check it out.
Our friend Bob had a new Spitfire that he brought out today and I got to test fly it.  It flew great, just needed a couple of small trim adjustments.  It was pretty windy today, so we spent most of our time visiting.  When we left, we came home on the West Side Hwy. and stopped at Jerry's place to drop off canopies for the reunion tomorrow.  We helped set the canopies up, set up the tables and chairs, then had a nice visit.  We showed Jerry and Karen the planes in the motor home just before we left.  Jerry offered us a batch of fresh corn, we accepted, so he picked it out of the garden.
After we made our second trip to Toledo for the roller and barbecue, Vera fixed the corn along with potato salad, fried chicken and watermelon for dinner.  The corn was so sweet that it was almost like having dessert.
