Memorial Weekend

Friday evening we drove from Peoria, IL, to my parents' cabin near Mountain, WI. Saturday we hung out at the cabin, shoveled sand, climbed around on "the big rock", and had a good campfire. Sunday we drove around the south end of Green Bay to Sturgeon Bay, WI, and saw Karen's family. Among the things we did up there was attend an art fair. I gravitated toward the photography-imagine that. That evening we drove back down to Green Bay. This morning we visited and breakfasted with my grandma, who has recently moved to an assisted living community. The place is nice, but she needs to get out of her shell and network with people out there. We drove back to Peoria this afternoon. It was a whirlwind, but good, trip.

Around here things are growing well. Some of the tadpole/frogs are beginning to hop out of their tank (which I moved outside before we left). Some of the lettuce leaves in our garden could be cut to make a small salad. Our first strawberries are ripening to the point of picking within a couple days.
