On the way back Rollie and Cecilia had an interesting conversation, while I tried to sleep.
In the evening we drove in the golfcart to the logcabin, where I played my accordeon.

By Ford Model A and by horse
Wednesday, Neighbours Jack & Bonnie had family over from Virgina and liked to show them Rollies former diary factory. So we set off in two Model A Fords.
Here is Jack, Jay, Cecilia, Jays and Kathies son and daughter, Kathy and Rollie in the factory
We all were treated to a very good icecream by Samantha, Rollies eldest granddaughter.
Here we get back in the old Fords to Whitelaw. Just in time to bring Cecilia to go and ride a horse in Francis Creek.

August 4th, Manitowoc Maritime Museum
We Carol and Rollie we visited the Maritime Museum, and one the submarines, they built in Manitowoc during the 2nd WW. Mr. Charley Torpedoman told us of the hard life of that time.
The rest of the Museum told us about shipping, shipbuilding and fishing in and around Manitowoc and the Great Lakes.
We had a desert at an old shop called Beerntsen: for me a wonderful Icecream Soda.
We we got home Pepper-dog got the remnants of Rollies lunch as a reward for guarding the house and property.
We have just one week left before we return to Oosterland. So time gets very precious now. What will we do these last days?

Sunday August 3rd
This Sunday Reint drove the pickup to New Holstein, while Rollie flew over in his PA11Cub. All this to return the camper to Whitelaw.
On his flight back Rollie landed in Windhave near his recently plowed field and found some Native Indian Artifacts: 1 spearhead and 2 scrapers. Of course he was was very excited about that!
Cecilia went with Carol, Bonnie and Heather to a Fair in Kawaunee. There was a Czechian singer Anita Smisek. Cecilia was in tears when she heard her singing on a CD. Then the biggest surprise came as she asked to sing with Anita in a former silo, with a beautiful sound.
Later on the ladies went to Two Rivers. Here a portrait of Cecilia an Carol in Two Rivers.

New Holstein 2008, Goodbye!
This is a what the thunderstorm looked like from Whitelaw, before it hit New Holstein Friday afternoon. Luckily all survived with their Cubs. Only their tents and clothes were soaked, but could be dried at the Laundromat.
Saturdaymorning Cecilia an I arrived back at NH to pack our things and share the last breakfast with our old and new friends.
Both Steve Johnson and Cecilia were presented a good bottle of New Holstein wine.
Here I say goodbye to Ron Massey before his take off to New Mexico.
With almost everyone gone except for Wilbur and Sharon (who was expecting Wayne coming from Oshkosh), Randy, Jay and their family treated all of us to a fantastic lunch with fresh cheese, sausages, and self brewn beer and self made wine. Especially Cecilia was testing all of it. Then we drove off in 'our' pickup truck back to Whitelaw. Thank you New Holstein, thank you wonderful Supercub.org family!

Friday, Fish Boil Party
Our wonderful Whitelaw (WI) hosts Carol and Rollie invited us to share their fish boil party with their friends and family. So for one evening we were absent from New Holstein. Fish Boil is a traditional meal, where the potatoes, carrots, onions, spices and fish are boiled. Then the fat that comes up in the water is burned off and the food is taken out and eaten.
Rollie gives the fish to Cecilia.
In the break between two Boil rounds Cecilia and I offered to play an impression of our family show Red Riding Hood and the Big Bad Wolf.
While North and South of Whitelaw big thunderstorms threw buckets of water, we played our show for this all American audience. And luckily they liked it!
For us it was an honour to have our American Premiere of Red Riding Hood in Whitelaw.

New Holstein Friday, quiet day
Fridaymorning quite a few Cubs left, mainly to the Eastcoast. So just six Cubs entered the Short Take off and Landing Exhibition. The shortest take off again was won by Charley Aileron (34 feet) and the shortest landing by Steve Johnson. Then everyone relaxed. Rick Papp and Cecilia did a juggling twobodies two hands jugglying act.
Ed threw out some toiletpaper and tried to catch it with his Cub.
Also like in 2004 they started to harvest the wheat. But this time - very nice of them - they stopped during the night. Then Cecilia and I left for Carol and Rollie in Whitelaw, to be their with their Fish Boil Party.
