This year we spent Father’s Day locally at our son Jake’s in Hastings. My dad Vaclav and Ella also came for some quality family time and grill near the Yankee Springs​ area and Gun Lake.

Usually we travel 500 miles deep into the Midwest to the banks of the Mississippi River in Prairie du Chien, WI for the fur traders Rendezvous.  It is also a rendezvous with our Des Moines friends Sheryl and Brian. We’re sorry that we missed it.

We didn’t go this year due to logistics surrounding the upcoming release of my new book “Shifting Sands Short Stories” which will be released on June 30 on Amazon. The book is now available for pre-order at https://www.amazon.com/Emma-Palova/e/B0711XJ6GY

I’m very excited as I am ligning up my booksigning on July 16 at the Fallasburg one-to-one school house from 1 to 4 pm.

Everyone is welcome. Pictured below are all the men in my life except for my brother Vas Konecny.
