Billy's beloved Buckeyes were playing in Iowa city last Saturday and Billy really wanted to go. He also read in the paper( with the help o
f two mirrors) that the Buckeyes were favored and it would be a cake walk. Billy also likes the Amana Oktoberfest. Since I was going to be his keeper and I remember the last time I schlept him up 77 steps, and in view of the weather report, I talked him into the Oktoberfest option. We towed the lung behind the Smartcar ( he loves that stuff) but He was the first to admit it was a little chilly going around the Lily Lake.
Billy likes to catch up with the Lemon Sisters and generally likes the UMP UMP music that envelopes the town. He likes to watch the Eisenmann contest and he wishes he could compete. Of course, everyone likes a parade and Billy is no exception to this either.
"Aunt" Audrey was going to do a stint at bar tending at the Ronneburg after the parade and he was excited to see that. He is easily excited.
Right after the parade we caught up with Audrey and watched her work her magic. It is said you meet the nicest people at places like the Cadillac dealership, Walmart and bars. This couldn't have been more correct as we were introduced to Libby and Wayne and there friends Connie and Craig. Billy took a shining to Libby immediately.... Maybe it was the accessories or here hat which was very alluring. Or maybe it was the underwear....only Billy knows because there are some things he just doesn't open up about.
His landlady stayed for awhile and then she had to go to the park on another mission and that left us in the custody of his buddy Wally.
It was Wally who suggested we have shots of Ashbach and the able bar tenders were eager to oblige.
After the shots it was off to the Eisenmann contest and we were also treated to a great ventroloquist act. I swear I could not see his lips move one iota.
