Go Badgers

We headed over to Madison on Friday for a portion of our Labor Day weekend festivities.  After dinner with Kathy and John we all took in the women's volleyball team's game against San Diego State.  Besides it being sweltering hot in the UW Fieldhouse, the home team won in three straight sets.  Lots of fun to watch volleyball being played at this level and wishing we were still playing the game.  But we have enough invested in Jo's wrists without her blowing them out setting a volleyball.

Saturday morning we were up early to stroll the farmer's market and pick up our breakfast (morning roll and cinnamon roll) and some fresh cider (both for breakfast and for home).  We then spent most of the remainder of the morning discussing how we might lay out our condo - which led to a complete redesign of one of the rooms.  Then it was off to Kathy's for lunch and an afternoon cheering on our Badger football team as they won a squeaker against LSU.  Lots of tense moments and screaming during the game.  Later, we headed to the Union to enjoy some Spotted Cow while enjoying VO5 (local disco cover band) and a beautiful sunset.

Sunday morning after brunch with Kathy and John in Verona and a quick stop at Target it was time to head home and catch up on a few chores around the house.  Jo spent the afternoon preparing tomato glut from tomatoes from our garden and Kathy's (why is it tomato glut?, not a clue it looks a lot like spaghetti sauce to me).  We enjoyed the freshly prepared glut on some pasta later that night (see why I think it looks like spaghetti sauce).  Our actual Labor Day was spent lazing around until we joined John and Linda for some Kopps frozen custard in the afternoon.  They were in town to catch the Brewers/Cubs game.
