Oh, you were a good weekend
Spent along side many a good friend.
But alas, you pass far too quickly,
And now it's warm and a little stickly!
OK, so I am not a poet. But the weekend was good. I went to Nona's cabin in Luck, WI Friday night (after battling stupid drivers on 35W who don't know how to react to a lane closure when they are warned 3 miles ahead of time). Nona and I had a really good, deep conversation on Friday night when it was just the two of us. I love those times together.
Saturday was a perfect weather day!! Sandy and Carlene arrived around 10:00 and we hung around chit-chatting for awhile and then eventually went to lunch at "Hog Wild" (a BBQ joint) in Luck. Her daughter and her family joined us! It was fun. Went to a couple garage sales and then headed back to the cabin for a pontoon ride. While we were out on the lake, the two visitors from Norway showed up. Yep - REAL Norwegians!! So we got them on the pontoon and went back out. It was real fun talking to them about Norway and found out they have almost the same last name as my maiden name (they are Rud, I am Ruud). Had a wonderful dinner with the whole family and the REAL Norwegians and then I came home.
Today was a lazy day. I went to church and then didn't do much else. I did manage to go to Target and spend $46 on various things which I probably didn't need. Now I'm 'doing laundry' and getting ready for a fun-filled work week. I am in training every night this week for the shelter, so will be exhausted! And then all day on Saturday, too. Ugh!!
Hope everyone had a great weekend, too. Can you believe it's almost the end of August already? I will be going to Indiana in 2 weeks and Chelsea and Chris will be here in less than a month. Then I go on Sister's weekend and off to Seattle. The next thing you know, it will be Christmas. What happened to this year??
When you spend your time in Wisconsin, probably liquored up, eating BBQ all the time and then throw in a couple of Norwegians (I know that is code for something dirty)of course time will seem to pass quickly. When you get down here to Indiana I think we will probably have an intervention. It will be for your own good.
ReplyDeleteYou know that Minnesotan's don't dare drink when they are in Wisconsin. The Highway Patrol is just looking for our license plates and a reason to pull us over. But I like the idea of an intervention, so write me up! I'll pretend like I didn't know it was coming.
