Madison - Part 1

We celebrated another birthday for Jo almost two weeks ago (I'm a little behind on my posting).  It was a pretty low key affair, with just the two of us.  We heated up some of our Papa Del's pizza since that seemed like the best taste treat and had birthday cake for dessert.  Then it was to the fun part, opening presents, with Jo picking up several new clothing items and a few things for the kitchen.  Then it was off for a nice quiet walk around the neighborhood to chat about all the changes since we starting celebrating birthdays together a long time ago.

Jo is on the University of Wisconsin Chemistry's board and since she had a meeting two Friday's ago, we headed over to Madison for a few days.  While Jo went off to help the Chemistry department solve its problems, I helped my sister-in-law by raking a few leaves.  Since she has most of Sherwood Forest in her yard and many of the trees hadn't decided to drop their leaves yet, my help on raking was pretty minor, even though I spent several hours out raking.  We had beautiful fall weather while we where there, the fall trees were in full color, and it was great to catch up on Kathy and John's recent trip.


Saturday night we headed over to the UW Field House to watch the women's volleyball team take on Minnesota.  UW won, which is always good, and it was a lot of fun to watch these athletes in action.  Did make Jo and I reminisce about when we were younger and could do more on a volleyball court - like move and jump.
