Nothing like celebrating Independence Day in American's Heartland! We spent the day riding bikes around Vermillion, driving some country roads where family homesteads were, checking out the Vermillion Boat Club which my folks were instrumental in forming, visiting the Meckling (Bergen Lutheran) Cemetery where ancestors of my mom's family all reside. Treated ourselves to the famous chicken dinner at Toby's in Meckling -- an institution for over 40 years -- and discovered Meckling High School class pictures for my mom and my aunt & uncle. Then to the little Farmer's Market (small but wonderful fare) a couple blocks from our free RV spot in Lions Park. Got these incredible fresh-picked strawberries. Supper last night was fresh-ground peanut butter on great 'peasant' bread & a bowl of strawberries & cream - YUM! We were treated to a very good fireworks display which we watched from our free RV camp.
