SATURDAY, SEPTEMBER 11
After the ceremony at Veterans Park for 9/11, I went to Meijer's and got breakfast at Burger King.
Came home and continued recording the Drive's 80s A to Z as well as rerecording previously recorded tapes.
Took the '85 Firebird out for a cruise, of course listening to the Drive's A to Z 1980s music.
That evening, we went to Stucky's for dinner and, of course, those $1 draft beers.
SUNDAY, SEPTEMBER 12
Enjoyed the FP for breakfast, coffee and the Tribune. Continued rerecording the Drive's 80s A to Z. At1:30, we drove over to Johnsburg for the Saufen und Spiel parade. Saufen und Spiel is a celebration of Johnsburg's early days when so many German settlers came and set up homes and farms.
They have a really big parade. We usually watch the parade at Sunnyside, but couldn't get anywhere near the place and after some backups from parade units, managed to get over to the shopping center where Angelo's Grocery Store and Stucky's is located and watched it from there. This parade was even longer than usual and had a marching band form the high school and a bunch of floats with bands on them.
Went back home and then back to Sunnyside where I dropped Liz off and I went to the Saufen und Spiel grounds by the Johnsburg Community Club. I just missed the Glockenspiel show which is always a treat. It is like a German cuckoo clock with live people. Go to You Tube and type in Milwaukee Germanfest Glockenspiel to see why it is so much fun.
They had a good band playing mostly 80s to current music called the Goo Roos. Also one of the greatest brats (with sauerkraut of course) and corn on the cob.
Then back to Sunnyside and saw both the Bears and Packers get blown out.
