July is nearing an end, which is sad because it has been so much fun. And it also means the summer is going by quickly. We spent our 2 weeks in Door County. It has been many years since Phil and Judy first invited us to join them for a weekend, and we have returned every year since. But this was the first year we did not camp. Cedar Court provided our lodging this year. Campsites were scarce during last years reservations and we decided it was time for a change. We have rented campers the last few years so we applied that money to the motel and had less camping equipment to bring. Marie had a motel room and Chris and I a cottage. And MJ and Denise joined us for one week and shared a motel room. It turned out well, not hurt at all by the fact we were in downtown Fish Creek and could walk to a number of favorite shops and establishments. We spent time with old friends, ate and drank too much (too much??), and had lots of quality time. I managed to get some golf in with friends. We had some quality card games and quality walks. Each day went quickly. Sorry we did not spend more time with everyone, but we have a big group and everyone is pulled in many directions. We hope to see them again sooner than later and be back in Door County soon. We took an earlier 2 weeks than some of our group so we could be home yet in July. That allowed us to catch the end of EAA Airadventure in Oshkosh. Our location downtown and close to the airport allowed us to catch a lot of the airshows. (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OlMXo0eqx6E) The day and night shows featured lots of different aircraft and aerial acrobatics. A number of military aircraft were featured this year and all were awesome. It was a great weekend. Now on to August. Friends to catch back up with, courses to golf, beer to brew. Marie heads home this month, Irishfest is mid month, and we will see what other adventures come up. Love life!

Great pictures…Happy you all enjoyed Door County. Josie and Patti are coming in Oct. so we will be spending an over night in Door County…and my favorite Fish Creek also. Staying at the Main St. Motel and will have breakfast the next morning at the White Gull Inn…that is always a “must”. Tickets reserved for The Peninsula Players….and will bring some Fall Goodies home….Just hoping our Texas folks will see beautiful Fall colors and not snow….but they would probable enjoy that also as it’s been over 100 degrees for over a month there now….They need a change.
I hope we can again get together before you head back to Florida…Yes, the Summer is going much too fast. Take care…..And Chris and Marie…so enjoyed our get together at The Brothers….
Onward to more adventures right? Maybe will catch you at the Farmer’s Market….Barb
Door County AND Lambeau Field. Two of the greatest places on earth – in one trip. If you’re ever down in Madison, let me know.
Great pics. Sounds like you had a fun 2weeks and what a great place to view the airshow. The summer is going by so quickly. Can’t believe it’s almost Aug. Take care and keep in touch.
Great pics, you guys know how to ” GIT ER DONE”, We enjoy reading your blogs. Been a hot summer here in Northern Ontario. Only problem is that there are many forest fire and many out of control. Temagami was put on alert a few weeks ago and evacuation notices were issued to the residents. Ron and Verna had to leave ther place for a few days, the fire was that close (Scary stuff).. Any way keep up the good work and we look forward to seeing you in Florida
We heard about Ron and Verna. Looked like some fires in the Sudbury area also. And I saw there was talk about shutting down part of Hwy 69 due to fire, but not sure where that was. We will monitor the next few weeks and hope for lots of rain for our Canadian friends!
Love the pictures of Lambeau Field. Sounds like your summer has bee very exciting. Please give say hi to Marie and hope she enjoys rest of her stay. Continue to have fun and looking forward to seeing you in FL. Take care.
