Kolsch in the summer…mmm memories of McMennamins patio on a hot, August evening! Nothing better.

Thanks,
Rick
Rick,
Thanks for taking the time to come and visit the blog. I hope you add my blog to your RSS reader!
I have not heard of the video contest you are trying to locate. Perhaps someone reading this blog will know. If you can’t find it on Google or Bing, I’m not sure what to tell you.
Wish I could provide you with a link. Let me know if you find it, I’m interested in seeing the videos!
Thanks for your comment!

Thank you Christian! She will be the one in the family to watch, that’s for sure!
I love it. Alarm Clock = My mom. Priceless.
