Getting near the end of another week.   I always like the end of the week.  Even though this was a short work week it sure seemed long!  A couple of rough days mixed in.    Maybe it was a bad golf game to start the week that did it!  No even bad golf is better than working, and I had Noel’s company to make it worthwhile.

Wednesday was too many needy people at work.  Then I drove to Milwaukee for a stock club meeting, and traffic was horrendous.   But I did miss the down pours and floods in Milwaukee!   And got to see old friends.   A few of which, I am afraid,  I won’t be seeing much longer.  I have probably been in the club 30 years or more, and always been the youngster.   So the ones that are left have been retired many years and have lived a good life.  But age is taking it’s toll.  So I hope their last days are not drawn out and unhappy.  We have lot’s of good memories.  So the club will be left to just a few of us, youngsters like Al and Noel.

And after a rough day I stayed for a couple of drinks with friends.  Of course then when I got home to Mom she had stored up a lot to talk about.  So it was not an early evening last night, and up early to drive to work this morning.  So I skipped the Waterfest concert tonight, as fun as it would be I think bed will be soon.  Have some extra energy for the weekend.

Tonight some projects around the house.  Maybe tomorrow some relaxation after work.  Well,  try to cut the grass first, then relaxation.  Good friend Mike is playing with his band in Omro,  so will try to get there for awhile.  And on Saturday to Milwaukee to do a quick shopping trip for Mom and then pick up my wife at the airport.   She is coming home.  I am sure MJ will miss her.  But MJ is doing better.  They ventured out today and even met John for a dinner out.  MJ is limited in what she can eat but good she had the chance to get out and try a little pasta.  So hopefully in a week her strength is up for Door County.   I did a little packing tonight because next week will go quickly.

After a few things around the house I indulged myself in a quick boat ride and glass of wine.  the rain has stopped and the northwest wind is actually cool and refreshing.  And the sunset is beautiful.  Enjoy the weekend!
