Used bike - new tires

Lou and I spent Thursday, August 30 at Peter and Taylor's new apartment in Chicago. Taylor wanted a new/used bike. She, Lou, and I stopped at a used bike shop and found this Schwinn.

Week-end of August 17 - 19

Fresh peach pie
We had a great time celebrating Den and Marilyn's anniversary and Marilyn's birthday at the farm. Some photos are uploaded here. In place of a birthday cake, we had fresh peach pie. As you may know, Kathy Tennessen's name was pulled at the Phillips Triathalon in July 2011. She won $100 of Park Falls Chamber of Commerce Bucks. Norb sent the bucks to us at the farm in July. Even though the Chamber Bucks had expired, the Park Falls South Side True Value Hardware honored them and Lou suggested we get a new grill for the farm because the one we've been using was our old one from Shorewood; the wheels were falling off among other problems. So, on a rainy day, Lou and I drove to Park Falls, Chamber Bucks in hand. The farm now has a new Weber grill!

Pauline visited for the week-end. She spent Friday and Saturday evenings with her Phillips High School Classmates - her 60th class reunion. On Sunday, Pauline and I met Joanie Bruner and went to Mass in Prentice and from there, we all had brunch at Hill of Beans on Timms Hill.

Pauline and I drove back to Milwaukee on Tuesday, August 21 to get Pauline back to Oconomowoc in time to get organized for her trip with Dee and Joanie to the Paraolympics in London. They leave today, Sunday, August 26 from Baltimore.


Pauline and I harvested some garden treasures before we left on Tuesday.
