We are having a great summer.    It seems like it took a long time to get here and now time is flying by.  I realize when I get up for work in the morning that the sunrise is getting later already!  The weather here in Wisconsin has now been unseasonably cool.   But comfortable.   We just returned from our yearly Door County trip last weekend.   It started out in the 90 degree temperature range and ended in the 50’s and 60’s!  That time went quickly.  I worked parts of both weeks and did not get time to talk with many of our friends.   But time enough to say HI and get some golfing in.   Chris and Marie spent the full 2 weeks and Mary Jane was there  for over a week.  Always a good time.  We came home last Saturday and on Sunday went down to Milwaukee to see Mom and we went to Germanfest for the first time.   We are usually in Door County until the following weekend, for the past 30 years!   This year we took a week earlier so Chris could be home to concentrate on her end of the month duties.  We spent some time at Germanfest with Skip and Claire and had a very enjoyable afternoon.

This week was back to work and lot’s of challenges.  And unfortunately news this week of a plant closing in our division.   450 people in Jefferson City MO will lose their jobs.  But being back home was a chance to catch up with some yard duties and of course time to catch up with good friends.  Friday night we made it to our favorite stopping place Oblio’s and had a great time, along with beer and ice cream,  and then out for a fish fry.   And this morning we went to the Oshkosh Farmers Market and stocked up with some fresh vegetables.   The market is full this time of year.   We brought home our first sweet corn of the summer and had it on the grill and shared with Noel and JoAnn.  So one more day of the weekend to enjoy!   We are also deciding to take the next step in our house clean up.   So if you know anyone that needs a pontoon boat and trailer, 16′ Bayliner, 2003 Ford Superduty or 26′ 5th wheel, or a utility trailer,  just let us know!  Oh and a boat lift!
