Too late for last week
Last weekend was the annual Cutty’s Bosch family weekend. There were around 30 in attendance coming from Sherburn, MN, Cumming, Des Moines, Ankeny, Sioux City, Sheldon and Sanborn, IA. A few family members were unable to attend because of involvement in sporting events. The weather was perfect and all in attendance had a great time with swimming, playing games, and enjoying much conversation around the campfire. Everyone went to their respective homes Sunday, tired but with happy memories.
