I'm a little late this week with my post and no excuse except for limited desire to be writing earlier this week. We had a busy weekend as we headed over to Madison on Friday to spend some time with Jo's sister and take in a Badger football game on Saturday. Unfortunately, the weather was a little less than ideal as we woke to rain Saturday morning. However we had seats that were protected from the direct rain and just had to deal with the cold mist blowing around. What made up for the poor weather was the exciting game in which Wisconsin was victorious. It certainly helped all the fans to see WI score twice within the first 3 minutes of the game. We also did a little house hunting while we were in Madison since, as anyone that knows us, we love going through other people's homes. We eventually landed back up at Kathy's place which after some Rocky Rococo's pizza for dinner we headed home.
Sunday we got in an early morning run and then picked up my parents and sister at the train station for a brief visit. We had a wonderful brunch at the Lake Park Bistro although the tornado warnings and torrential rain made for a few worried moments. Especially trying to decide whether we should head to the basement or continue eating our meal. We managed to finish our meal and get home without incident and only got partially drenched. We spent the afternoon catching up on the family news and viewing our safari photos - the short version. Then my sister headed back to Chicago while we enjoyed a delicious roasted carrot and parsnip soup using our freshly harvested parsnips and the last of our earlier harvested carrots.
Monday while Jo headed off to work, poor Jo, my Dad and I watched the safari photos - the long version. Afterwards we packed up and headed to the Milwaukee Public Museum. We had to take in the butterfly exhibit since that is always one of my favorites. We spent the bulk of the time in the section on the history of the planet (movement of the land masses and the dinosaurs - because how can you ever get tired of seeing dinosaurs). Then it was back to the train station for them to head back to Chicago for a few more days before heading home.
