Fourth Of July weekend BBQ-ing

What a fabulous holiday weekend.  The weather was gorgeous, Laura and I rode our bikes everyday, and we were able to spend time with family and friends.  It was a weekend of barbecuing for us as we had my parents over on Friday for shish kabobs  and then on Saturday we were over to the Palmers for more BBQ, games, and a surprise pop-over by my brother down from Duluth.

 

Remembering Julie Steiskal

Julie is someone who was only in Laura and my life briefly but the one day I got to know her left a lasting impression on me.  She was funny, passionate about what she was doing in life, and an extremely talented photographer.  This past week Julie lost her life trying to save a member of her church group from drowning on a  trip to the North Shore.  Please keep Julie and her family and friends in your prayers.  She will no doubt be deeply missed in the photography community.

I recorded some audio clips from that day and pulled out some of the ones involving Julie.
