Being summer is rapidly drawing to a close; I thought I would invite Barney to Eau Claire to spend a week with me. I have an exciting week all planned out, and I am sure he will enjoy his visit. I have a 1966 Chevy convertible so I think one night I will get him a date. I have a single blonde neighbor gal who is really a fun girl, so I thought we can go to our outdoor drive in movie. On the way home we can drive down to Carson Park and look at the ducks. I have a club meeting on Thursday night and I am hoping to put Barney up for an honorary membership. We will go for the dinner first and they can look him over. Hopefully they will serve their specialty, California burger, that's a new sandwich that came out since California became a state. I have a free coupon from Karate America for a free lesson, so on Monday I hope to take Barney there and let him use it. If it is really nice we may go golfing. I usually shoot around 80, so if Barney is lucky he might even hit 90 and beat me. Boy that would really be something, if old Barn could beat me, wouldn't it? Tuesday morning I have an appointment at our bank to let Barney inspect their security system. They just installed new alarms and a video camera. That should really make Barney happy. On Tuesday night I plan to rent a doctor show video and my wife is going to make a pan of cashew fudge. I hope that doesn't make Barney too homesick. On Friday night we will go out to Smith's Country Inn for a pounded steak dinner. It is located just off the highway outside of Eau Claire. They have place mats on the table and cloth napkins. Fancy fancy. I just hope Barney isn't disappointed because the waitresses don't wear peek a boo blouses. I don't think they will let us take a bottle in their either. On Saturday afternoon the Oakwood changes the movie marquee, and with a ten screen theater, Barney should really enjoy watching them change ten names. On the way though, I am going to have to avoid driving on London Road. Every Saturday farmers come to town in their pick up trucks and they sell their vegetables along that street. I wouldn't want Barney to try and arrest them. But I will take him down to Phoenix Park where we have a huge farmer's market, where the farmers are actually invited to come sell their produce. Barney may have a bit of trouble understanding that. I do hope Barney remembers to bring his Salt and Pepper, because on Saturday night I am hoping to take him to our Arthur Murray dance studio for a free dance lesson they offer. Sunday will be a quiet day. We will go to church and then after dinner we will sit out on the patio. We will walk down to the corner gas station after a while and get a bottle of pop and maybe pick up some ice cream. We might go out to the mall too. They have an arcade there with all kinds of games Barney might like. They even have a booth where we can have our pictures taken, and they are guaranteed not to turn yellow. All in all, I would think Barney is in for a great time. I can hardly wait. But he did say something about bringing Cousin Virgil along, and I am not too sure about that. I will report back to the digest and let you know how things went with Barney's visit to Eau Claire.
