Visiting Uncle Scott and Aunt Grace

Sis and I got a chance to visit Uncle Scott (from my father's side) and his wife, Grace, while we were there. This is only the second time I've seen him in the past ten years.

They took us for a drive through the Buttes (my first time driving through them) to a restaurant/bar on the Sacramento river called "Lovey's". It was a great location that had it been anywhere else in the world, would have been packed with boats and swimmers. Thank god there are still places like Sutter County in the world.

We had a great visit and got to get a picture in as long as it somehow featured Scott's boat.

At Beth & Charlie's

For most of the rest of the week, we stayed at Aunt Beth's & Uncle Charlie's. Uncle Charlie has spent most of his life working at John Deere. Hence, there is a LOT of John Deere paraphernalia around the house. Charlie took Lorenz on a ride on a "gator". For you city folk, it's a four-wheeled utility vehicle made by (whom else) John Deere. Here's more information: http://www.deere.com/en_US/ProductCatalog/GC/category/GC_UV.html. Lorenz went NUTS getting to ride in this. Just about the only two words that he said crystal clear the whole weekend were "marshmallow" and "gator".

The Sutter County Cemetery

On the way out to Lovey's, Scott drove us by the Sutter County cemetery and pointed out that our birth father and grandparents are buried there. After lunch, both Sis and I wanted to drive back and see Keith Sr's grave. I had never seen it and Sis had only been when she was very young.
