Oh the places I've been! Part 2

 I guess I should finish up this post…. I have been debating quitting blogging. Shockingly Dave told me to continue because I do a good job! Who knew he appreciated this form of social media?  This morning is another grey sky day in Fallbrook which normally I love because I can get a cool walk in before the sun pops out (and it will between 8;45 and 9:30). This is our May grey, June gloom, July…. time of year. A sky like this in Wisconsin would  mean an all day rain in the Midwest. Here it just means the tourists get all wound up because they had planned a beach day- never fear the sun will appear like clockwork! That marine layer will burn off and it will be another gloriously beautiful day. That being said, I am not walking- I am blowing my nose and hacking a lung out! I started feeling ill Thursday night and Dave joined me 24 hours later. And we are still going downhill. We rarely get ill and never both at the same time so this is something. We had to cancel on the 2 special ladies who were coming to visit which is very sad. Anyway, no need to plan a funeral- probably will survive this but getting very annoyed! So last we "spoke" I had just entered WI after a road trip from Denver….

 

I met up with my husband in Milwaukee. His company treated us to a Brewers game. We found our friends Peter and Deb there. Deb was Tristan's 4th and 5th grade teacher and was fabulous. And I do hope she doesn't cringe at my grammar and sentence structure in these blog posts!

My sister happened to be at the game with her co workers so had a little time with her also.

The best part of the game is seeing which sausage wins.

I was in Milwaukee less than 24 hours but I managed to do lunch at Culvers with a friend. Take that In N Out!!

Supper was so very healthy also- Shepard's in Berlin.

Spent a lovely evening at the Kelbert's lake home. I failed to get photos of our hosts.

Nikelle figured out how to put "Bouge" in stereo mode.

Shower #2 was in Sun Prairie at the Choi home. Another yummy cake- the no sugar diet had issues at all these social events.

A-D-O-R-A-B-L-E sisters

Amoolya was only 6 weeks old when her family came from India to stay for 18 months. Well that was 11 years ago!

I finally got to meet my 2 newest great nephews. Handsome dude, Reid and his mama Kaylyn….

And stud Jackson and most of his mama Jessica.

Also met the good looking Zane with his mama Karli

The 3 guys and mamas.

Gerald the Giraffe was the one item Shane felt the nursery really needed. actually he always wanted a huge animal for  himself! So of course we had to get it for them.

And look how happy he is!

After a week in WI we headed to Minneapolis with Tristan. We met our grand dog daughter Marlowe. She was a great walking buddy and bed buddy. 

So pretty!

Loved my walks by these falls….

and by the mighty Mississippi.

I planted flowers in CO,WI and MN. I felt a bit like Johnny Appleseed!

Loved our time with this couple- Tristan and Brooke

Played some fancy mini golf in Edina.

Breakfast downtown with Tristan at a yummy crepe place.

Tristan works right here downtown Minneapolis. And that's all folks- next trip to the Midwest will be in August to meet our very first grand baby!!!
