Pretty much right after breakfast, Bob got started smoking some chickens and pork ribs for a lovely Father’s Day barbecue. Here’s the chef at work!
More photos of the food and the guests, after the jump.

Schell’s Brewery in New Ulm, Minn. was established in 1860, making it the second oldest brewery in the US. (The first is Yuengling.) We went for a tour and a tasting on a beautiful Friday afternoon.
Jake’s Stadium Pizza — one of Greg’s favorites because of its thin, crackery crust and fun toppings, such as Canadian bacon — is moving to make way for a CVS. We were there on its last weekend in the old location.
After lunch, we took the car out to the prairie for some sightseeing and nostalgic visits to places like “the home place,” where Greg’s dad grew up. When the wind whistles the tall grass and it sways back and forth like waves along the fields, you start to understand such references as “for amber waves of grain.” Even though these are green.
We arrived in Minnesota around lunchtime on a Thursday. Doris had salads ready and waiting for us.
