Last weekend Dad and I went to Minneapolis to see my sister, Barbra Bloy. The lilacs blooming in front of her house made a great backdrop for a few pictures.

The Farmall H
Dad and I went to the Rock River Thresheree yesterday, to look at the antique farm equipment. The Farmall H is the tractor my grandfather (Theodore Bloy) bought around 1950 to use on the farm where my father grew up. Dad (Wilmer Bloy) stands beside an H from that era below.
At Miller Park
Yesterday, my father (Wil Bloy), brother (Steve Bloy) and I went to Miller Park for a Brewers game.
The Casket Arts Building
My sister Barbra’s studio is in the Casket Arts Building, a 120 year-old structure that once housed the Northwestern Casket Company.
I could have spent hours walking around the old building and taking photos,
Minnehaha Falls
When my father (Wilmer Bloy) and I were in Minneapolis last weekend, we went to Minnehaha Falls, which is in the city, along side the Mississippi River.
Inside Barbra’s studio
Last weekend, Dad and I drove to Minneapolis to see my sister, Barbra Bloy.
We wanted to visit while Art-a-Whirl (the largest open studio and gallery tour in the U.S.) was going on. It was great to see what that was about, and check out her studio.
Easter walk
After a delicious Easter brunch at my brother Steve’s house, some of us decided to head outside for a walk. Below, Mike, Adam and Wil Bloy demonstrate that yes, waiting is hard.

Bloy cousins
The main reason Dad and I decided to go to Tennessee a few weeks ago was to attend the 80th birthday party of his cousin Jim (Happy Birthday Jim!). While we were at the party we also visited with Dad’s cousins Ruth and Janette, and their families.
Pictured here are four Bloy cousins. From left to right: James Bloy, Wilmer Bloy, Janette McCormick (née Bloy) and Ruth Zeppelin (née Bloy).
