  • Wisconsin

    I'm back!

    Just returned from my annual girl-friend week in Wisconsin.  I left last Tuesday night and got back home around 5 this afternoon.  Whew!  I'm beat.

    Good thing I drove up Tuesday because by Wednesday morning I was one sick puppy.  Found out later that Ken was also sick so we decided we had food poisoning.  So Sue drove my van up north and I just slept.

    First stop, mimiwi's house.  You can check out her blog for a full description and pictures.  I slept and didn't eat.

    I went to bed as soon as we got to the cottage. 

    On Wednesday I was OK enough to shop with the girls.

    We had a mid-afternoon biscotti break at our favorite coffee shop in Marinette, Wisconsin.

    Followed by dinner at the Serving Spoon, across the bridge in Menononee, Michigan, in the UP.

    Sue and Dawn herded cows.  This was actually a reinactment of an incident that occured the day before while we were still at Sues.  I was at her house, too sick to leave, and they did a Walmart run.  On the way back a bunch of cows broke through their fence and almost got into the road.  They helped another passerby to herd the herd back into their pasture.

    AFter dinner we heard this band play at the town bandshell.  They were a country rock-n-roll band and very good.

    Friday we went to a fish fry.  Yum!

    Saturday I had a problem speaking.  I used a lot of wrong words that day.  We had lunch here, where I had a very tasty crunchy salad.  I said, "These walmarts are so good!" and we all laughed.  So walmart was code-name for walnuts the rest of the week.

    We also saw this one-legged "frog" Val-speak for fox.  I was really bad that day!

    Sunday we attended the catholic mass and the Presbyterian service.  They were both good.  Then we hiked a to a few waterfalls.  They were beautiful!

    Tuesday morning we had to pack up and leave the cottage.  Boo hoo.

    We drove to Sues and today I dropped Dawn off at Midway airport, then headed home.  Such fun times!  A week is still too short!

  • Glad to hear that you were feeling better on Wednesday.  I was going to call you, but I seem to remember Sue saying that cell phone reception was lousy at the cabin, and didn't want to bother you if you were out and about.  Been thinking about you all week, though. 

    Thank you so much for the gift certificate.  SO unnecessary!  It is such fun to do this for you guys, we certainly don't want remuneration!!  Ken says he is taking me out to the Lighthouse Inn for dinner on my birthday the end of August.  lol
