Just a quick update.   We have had some hot weather in the 90’s, we already have had as many days in the 90’s as a normal full year will have.  And we have the hot months of July and August ahead of us.   Not everyone likes it,  but I do OK.  You know I will take the heat rather than the January low temps.   We had a front and some rain go through last night, and today a high of 80.  And a strong breeze off the lake so almost everyone could enjoy today’s weather.  Very comfortable.   We had been very dry until this week, but the girls kept the sprinklers going and the gardens are doing well.  There are some peppers and tomato’s on the plants.  And the zucchini plants growing quickly.  The flowers filled in nicely and the raspberries are ripe about a month early.

Lucky for the rain this week,  because Chris is not here to water.   Chris, Marie and Mary Jane are in Switzerland.   Sounds like their flights on Tuesday went well.  Everything on time and landed in Zurich as planned.   A tough day yesterday since they left New York around 4pm Tuesday and landed in Zurich at 6 am Wednesday.   I think they stayed up most of the day as everyone told them would be best.   Last night a good night of sleep and sight seeing today to some Swiss towns.  And tomorrow (is that today?) will be the Matterhorn and Zermatt.

Sounds great http://www.ski-zermatt.com/zermatt.html

Have a beer for me girls.   Had my homebrew club meeting last night.  The SOB’s http://www.realsob.org  are a fun group.  Last night a great night as we did a beer and cheese tasting.  How could I go wrong?    We had 11 combinations brought in by members.   I like my apple cider with Asiago, a surprisingly nice combonation.   But they were all good.   Hinterland Saison with mango salsa cheddar,  I have to find some of that.

So enjoy life.   Here in Wisconsin summer is short so we will make the most of it.  And I am sure the girls will have lot’s of pictures and stories from their trip!
