Monday, my least favorite day of the week! Probably because I have a wonderful weekend and then need to forget it to concentrate back on work. We did have a fun weekend. Friday night we met with friends to share some cocktails and stories. And went out for a nice dinner to end the night! And Saturday we slept in to start a relaxing day.
We took a ride to the Appleton Barnes and Noble to get Chris a new Nook Tablet for her anniversary present. We spent some time there to learn a little more and did some testing over a coffee and scone. I think it is a hit, she has not put it down very much. And we took a nice ride through the Wisconsin country side. Stopped at a Winery near Poy Sippi. did just a little tasting! Stopped at a Mexican restaurant in Wautoma, inside an old fast food restaurant. The food was unbelievably cheap and very good! My chorizo and huervo torta with a Negra Modello was a hit. A place to stop again.
And then on to Neshkoro to a bed and breakfast for Saturday night. A women who was a professor at Valparaiso University who moved back home to take care of her Mother, and turned the house into a bed and breakfast after Mom died. Very personable and welcoming and did a nice job with the house. We enjoyed it very much. It was a cool day. We walked down the river and to the dam in town that creates the mill pond behind it. But it was too cold to linger. From the house we had a nice view of the mill pond and even a bald eagle fishing. And we took her recommendation on a local supper club, and the food was worthy of the recommendation. Once I saw roast duck was one of their specialties I made my decision. And it did not disappoint. And Chris had a nice tenderloin she was thrilled with.
Sunday was a wonderful breakfast, and a slow ride home. Home was back to a little reality, getting some weed and feed on the grass and some round up on the driveway. Of course I had heard it would not rain until Tuesday night, and it rained last night. So I will wait a couple of weeks and see if anything took hold. And we put the Bayliner boat in the water and out on the lift. And put the canvas over the boat lift. Some stretching and lots of tieing of strings. It would have been easier with a warm sun to help stretch the canvas, but that was not to be! But it is done and I could put my truck back in the garage. And next will be putting the 5th wheel hitch back in the truck!
So we hope your weekend was a good one, and the week is even better!
Happy belated anniversary! Sounds like you had a wonderful time. Life is too short and uncertain to not enjoy every minute!
