Kate fixed another great meal. \u00a0The salmon was wonderful, a diced salad combined several different vegetables, and there were beets and Iowa corn relish, too. \u00a0One of Jon’s Breck friends came by, Thomas Thorpe and his wife Allison. \u00a0It was fun to see Jon with a high school friend. \u00a0He seemed lighter, younger.<\/p>\n
The conversation was interesting and the solstice bonfire tradition got underway, though I \u00a0didn’t create a true bonfire. \u00a0We did have fire enough to make smores and the conversation around the fire pit lasted until twilight fell.<\/p>\n

Tomorrow we’re going to Running Aces. \u00a0It’s family day at the track. \u00a0Free beer and a $2 bet for all the kiddies! \u00a0No, not really.<\/p>\n

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. \u00a0He had harness horses and so did his son, my Uncle Riley, and after his death my first cousin Richard. \u00a0Richard 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.<\/p>\n
