Last Sunday I headed out with Evelyn, Meg, & Pam for our first group bus tour ever, to spend a week in Wisconsin and Michigan. We flew into Milwaukee and got on the bus there, and we were off. We got our first glimpse of Lake Michigan when we saw the Green Bay. So pretty.

We stopped for lunch, and then were off to visit Eagle Bluff Lighthouse in Door County. It was seriously the best lighthouse tour I think I’ve ever been on, and I’ve been on several. The lighthouses on the Great Lakes are much shorter than the lighthouses we are used to on the Atlantic coast, because the lights don’t need to be seen from so far away. We couldn’t go quite all the way up to the fresnel lens – this is taken through a piece of plexiglass – but I loved that it really did look like the lens in the museum at the Statue of Liberty – just much, much smaller.

Last week Jeff went with some of his buddies to a Southern Culure on the Skids concert. They decided to dress up, so Jeff got a new hat to wear 🙂

This is from Friday a week ago, when I picked the Clover grandkids up from school and took them out for supper and ice cream, to get in a good visit before we headed out of town. Eagles Nest was yummy as ever.

When I took June and Mason home we all spent some time visiting with Addie & Lee, and I loved seeing all the work they had put in and how beautiful their backyard was. Just a great, low key evening.

When we got to the girls’ golf match Thursday, the new team shirts were finally in. The girls all seemed to love the pink :-). Clara didn’t play – she’s still recuperating from the hip injury she suffered while playing goalie on her soccer team – but she was there to cheer the team on, so got hers to wear, too.
