Celebrate Good Times!!!
My whole family was in town for my parents 45th Wedding Anniversary. I am quite proud of their great accomplishment. We even had a dinner just like they had for their wedding: baked chicken, dressing, and potatoes and gravy. My sister also brought an amazing carrot cake. There was good food to eat all around. I like food. Here are some pictures from the festivities. One of my mom's friends took family pictures for us. I will post them some other time. I am too lazy to go get the cd and walk to the computer!
My brother, Erich, and I. I hadn't seen him in two years and was so glad to spend time with him and his wife, Carmen.
I did a 2.7 mile run in honor of my parents. Okay, it was because I knew there would be too much food! The doctor was right by the way. Two would have been better. 2.7 hurt.
One of many Rhinelander Hodags that were scattered downtown for a car show/art show. Read about the Hodag HERE
Mom, Carmen, and cars.
A nice oldie.
The family at the car show.

The dogs were worn out after all their playing. Buddy(White), and Divot.
Carmen and Buddy ready to head home on Sunday.
It was much too quiet after everybody had left. It was hard to say goodbye but it was so fun to see everybody.
Happy Anniversary Padres!

Summer is Moving right along.
Life is good. My brother and Sister-in-Law got here from Des Moines this afternoon. I have not seen them in two years and am very glad to have them here.
The past few days have been nice. Monday through Wednesday, it was bloody hot.
The weather here is bipolar because softball on Tuesday was too hot and then tonight I was playing in a hooded sweatshirt! Crazy. Tuesday we won 8-4. It was fun to play. I wore these rockin' socks:
Tonight, we lost by over ten but actually got to play all seven innings without the ten run rule stopping play. That's progress, right?
Wednesday was taco night again. Here are two pictures from the festivities:
They are as good as they look!!!
Cute kids, right? That Nathaniel in the front is one happy kid. He makes me smile and laugh lots.
Here is a sign of summer. The first painting of the toenails happened recently:
I like summer. I also like cool bumper stickers.
Well, off to read the end of Catching Firehopefully I will not fall asleep while attempting to finish it. Wish me luck!

Bad Blogger.
I have been pretty bad at blogging this week! Sorry for it.
I have been loving being home. Everything about this place is nice. I am even enjoying the soft hum of my Mother's snores through the wall, as I type!
I played more softball on Thursday. It was fun even if we got hammered. It is on a co-Ed team so it is a whole new feel! Afterward, I was able to enjoy dinner at the park with some friends and that I always nice.
Here are a few pics from Wausau on Wednesday:
Oh Philly's how glad I am to be back to eat you!
I loved finding this outside the bookstore I went to because I have two friends currently in England!
After coming home from Wausau on Wednesday, my parents and I went to tacos at Pat's Tavern. It is a summer Wednesday tradition! And you cannot break tradition, right?
Mom and Dad on the patio. It looks warm but we froze.
Cute friends Nathaniel and his mom, Bob!
I've also enjoyed a lot of firsts of summer this week:
The first bike ride of the summer. I love my new pedals and shoes!
The first fishing adventure of the summer. I think the fish were on a hunger strike that day!
Mom and Dad working on the flower beds. I joined in as well.
Cool gnome I found in the shed. There are others that will be moving around the gardens this summer!
Mom and I went to see a live band Saturday night. It was a blast.
I loved this ad in the bathroom. Really...fireworks for divorces???
Tonight we ate our first dinner on the patio and also had the first fire. Yummy s'mores!
I have had a blast this week. Summer has sure kicked off well!!!

Home is Where You Hang Your Hat...
...it is a good thing I have so many hats. It has been so good to be at home the past few days. I have already spent time with family and have hung out with great friends. I am one lucky girl!
After spending Saturday night in Milwaukee with my seester and niece, we drove to Green Bay Sunday and were just in time for a family BBQ. My cousin's husband grilled for us. Wisconsin knows how to BBQ, right?
Paul is a grill master. Shannon said there was a "variety of meat product."
So good!!!
Monday two of my aunts, grandma, mom and I shopped 'til we dropped and then ate great burgers and fried cheese curds at Krolls across from Lambeau Field(aka Mecca for Packer fans).
The crew.
The curds(goodness they are good!)
Me with mecca! ;)
Me and my cute grandma. I loved her advice about 20 year old pool boys(I think I need a pool) and her solution for my aunt having too large of bills to pay for lunch: "Cindy, just take my twenty and give me your hundred and we can call it even." I sure do love her!
I love coming home to the Northwoods of Wisconsin. This house is one of my favorite places!!!
Last night, was the season opener for softball. I met my friends, Marla and Jeanette, for pizza at Sam's(Wisconsin is all about good food for me!). It was so nice to catch up with them. I stayed with Marla and kept her up much too late chatting, seeing she had to work at eight in the morning!
The game went well. It was close all game and went to extra innings. That was when we finally woke up and went on to win 9-4. Great time on a pretty night. I am in one of my heaven places!!! So good to be home.
