Top 10 Highlights of Summer

10. Watermelon.

9. Small town community festivals. Beard contests. Live local music. Weird food.

8. Finding a lake. Coming up out of the water on skis for the first time of the year.

7. Feeling justified in eating lots and lots of ice cream.

6. Recovering from third degree burns from the slip 'n' slide.

5. Sun tea.

4. Not having to scrape ice off your car.

3. Getting so many mosquito bites you can reminisce about what it was like having chicken pox.

2. Forgetting socks. Forgetting shoes.

1. Getting a waterballoon to pop at exactly the moment it's supposed to.

P.S. Here's a picture from the recent celebration of Kingsley's 125th Celebration, taken by Becky Wilson. Little guys competing for the coveted Little Mr. Muscle title. It's a tough call.

Magdalene Landegent Yes, I like hotdish and lakes. My idea of a fancy meal is a potluck. I don't call it "cold" until it's below zero outside. I pronounce one syllable words with three syllables. (Example: "No" is "Nooo-ah-uh") I am from Minnesota. But about nine years ago, I ventured across the border to come to Northwestern College. From there I landed in friendly Hawarden where I worked two years learning this newspaper business before rolling into Le Mars to work as reporter, then editor. I learn a lot of things while I'm trying to scoop out a story, but I learn even more when I'm off the beat -- and that's what you'll get a taste of in my blog. I tend to be a klutz, I admit to starting more than one fire on my stove, and I generally find myself to be the source of many an awkward moment. Add to that newly-married life, and I sometimes feel like a three ring circus. So gentle reader, enjoy. Advice is always welcome. Even from you, Mom and Dad.
