Charles Schimmel's July 4th Visit

Charles arrived for his second visit of the year on July 2.

Highlights and Comments:

July 2: Charles had brief visit with Denise, Tom, Dan, and Laura who were departing just as he arrived. We ran some errands including picking up our official 2001 July 4th Walk/Run tee shirts. Enjoyed a pleasant summer meal on the mountain view patio

July 3: Strolled the down town street fair. Took photo of Charles with George W. Bush. Ate "pasta feed" supper at the city park. Watched the movie "Quills" on HBO.

July 4: All of us arose early and drove downtown for the 21st annual July 4th walk and run. We joined the other 5000 locals and visitors on the 2 mile course past a bevy of entertainers. After the walk found a spot and watched the big parade along with vistor Lonnie Anderson. That evening we drove to the golf resort to view the annual fireworks display. It was a long, busy, Americana day.

July 5: In the warm afternoon Charles and I spent a couple relaxing hours both at the Lake Siskiyou beach and in it's water. The evening movie: "The Contender"

July 6: With Jennie, we drove to the old ski bowl at the end of the road up Mount Shasta and at a table with a view ate a picnic lunch. We met a beguiling Aussie kid with his dad there. Back down, Charles packed up and departed about 3:00. It had been another good visit with my long-time friend.
