Summer Solstice Moon
Kate fixed another great meal. The salmon was wonderful, a diced salad combined several different vegetables, and there were beets and Iowa corn relish, too. One of Jon’s Breck friends came by, Thomas Thorpe and his wife Allison. It was fun to see Jon with a high school friend. He seemed lighter, younger.
The conversation was interesting and the solstice bonfire tradition got underway, though I didn’t create a true bonfire. We did have fire enough to make smores and the conversation around the fire pit lasted until twilight fell.

Mom’s side of the family, the Keatons, have a long track record (gee, now I know where that came from) in harness racing, dating back to my grandpa, Charlie Keaton. He had harness horses and so did his son, my Uncle Riley, and after his death my first cousin Richard. Richard drove for many years as well as owning harness horses, but had a terrible wreck and now handles horses and serves on some harness racing boards.
