We have had quite a summer! Hottest summer in history here in the Mid-West, good thing we live on a lake! I haven't been keeping up with this blog... I tried to upload pictures a couple of times, but was unsuccessful. So i have decided to just jump in here, and not worry about the pictures I've missed... maybe I'll add a few each time I post!
Here is a bit of what we've been up to:
 |
| Mark took me to Madison for a Birthday weekend... we stayed at a lovely hotel, strolled up and down State Street, ate wonderful food, went to the Art Fair on the Square and went to see Billy Elliot. I want to make it an annual affair!!!! |
 |
| We found a great bakery on State Street with amazing pastries.... |
 |
| Stella and Sally were glad to see us return! |
 |
| Grandma (and grandpa) came up in July and stayed with us for a couple of weeks. |
 |
| Ralph and his gang came up for a weekend, and he and Mark put in a beautiful wood floor in Mark's "office". |
 |
| Laura enjoying a good laugh. |
 |
| Nick is planning his next fishing expedition to the dock! |
 |
| Stella, who left us last Friday, is relaxing on the couch. She was a great dog, and she will be missed. Not sure what to do with all of the doggie treats we have.... She really loved those treats! |
 |
Our next visitor's were the Dale's. Dick and Mark kayacked and cooked. Betsy and I read and relaxed. Perfect weekend!
(We did give Stella dog treats too!) |
 |
| Betsy modeling her USA Soccer Shirt from last year's tournament in Germany, which our daughters attended. |
I will try to update this more often.... coming up next, our weekend in Washington with Michael's Gang.
