On the road again.

Rita and Roger are traveling to South Dakota for a funeral.  They'll just be gone over the weekend.

EMMA

Donnie did a great job capturing this beautiful shot of

Rita and Rogers "EMMA".

THE COUSINS WENT OUT TO EAT LAST NIGHT

I keep hoping that some year they'll behave while they're out in public but I don't think that will ever happen.

Carl was shoveling it in even before Roger finished saying the prayer.

Donnie was eating with both hands....

While Dorothy bowed her head in shame and pretended she was with another party.

DINNER AT CEDAR CREEK

Rita, Roger, Donnie and I enjoyed dinner at Cedar Creek last night.

A VISIT TO HOLMEN

Rita, Roger and I are going to Janie's today.  I'm hoping we'll get a chance to see her, again, while Donnie is here but she doesn't always stay put long enough to catch her home.  Next week she takes off for Colorado.

GOT A NOTE FROM RITA

"The ponies have lots of grass now.  We still have to find them a good home but, for now, they are quite happy where they are."

"The dogs got their beauty treatments yesterday.

Baths and brushed and scarves and even nails trimmed and Emma with nail polish to match her collar.   The’re all smiles and smell good too."

 

 



 

TV HAS NEVER LOOKED THIS GOOD

Roger got a new lawn mower.

What a day we had!

Would you believe we went all the way to Stevens Point to get bird seed today??  What a beautiful day for a road trip.  Lot's of sun and the temperature was just perfect.

 

 Roger shopped, Rita shopped, we played tourist and took in all the sights.  I had never been to Stevens Point or any of that part of Wisconsin so I enjoyed it so much.

Of course we stopped and ate and then they took me to the casino where I stood behind Rita and Roger and watched them lose their money.  It's amazing how fast that money can disappear when you're having "fun".

Personally, I think if you want to throw money away it's much more fun to drink it up than stuff it in a one armed bandit so we stopped at the Teepee Bar in Tomah and had a hamburger and some of that good old moonshine!

Thanks to R & R for a really fun day.



Rita, Roger and I are on the road today.

I can't really remember why we're going there but it's a change of scenery so I'm game!

We're taking a road trip, tomorrow, with Rita and Roger.

We're on our way to Plover, Wisconsin which is a suburb of Stevens Point.  A little city of, about, 12,000 people.  I know they told me why we're going there but, of course, I can't remember.

 

One thing about having a non-existing memory is that everything in life is always a complete surprise.

Thanks to Rita and Roger for a great Easter dinner!

I would have to say Rita outdid herself with the turkey.  I would never have thought a turkey done in the crockpot would be any good but she got a recipe from someone and it was DELICIOUS!  I brought plenty of it home so I'll have plenty for sandwiches this week.

 

Renee was there too and she's always great company so I would say Easter 2014 was a success.

 

I took some pictures but, unfortunately, I got super frustrated trying to remember how to get the pictures from the camera to the computer and ended up deleting them rather than saving them.

 

GRRRRRRRR!!

EASTER ON THE FARM

I'm going up to Rita and Roger's with Renee this morning.....unless we get a better offer along the way.

ANOTHER EASTER

Roger's kids, when they were little tykes, coloring Easter eggs.  One of those "little kids", Renee, is now a big kid and she'll be celebrating Easter with us.

I THINK I'LL DO THIS TO RITA AND ROGER'S TREES TOMORROW

VIROQUA

Off to Viroqua to see Aunt Wilda this morning.  Going with Rita and Roger.  It's been a long time since we've been up there so I'm looking forward to the trip.

ANOTHER PHOTO FROM THE BIRD MAN

ROGER'S BIRD HOUSE IS JUST ABOUT FINISHED

SURPRISE LUNCH

Nice surprise today!  RITA had to come to town so ROGER came along and we joined Carl and Kathy at the Arterial for lunch.

Rita and Roger brought back a T-shirt for me from Mackinac.

COLORING EASTER EGGS

Roger sent this picture from the 1960's of three kids coloring easter eggs.  I had no idea who they were until he told me.  Then I could pick them out right away.

They're Rogers kids; Rhonda, Renee and Rick.  Such a cute picture!
