Goofy weather around the country seemed to be the theme for last week. I visited my folks in Albuquerque for a couple of days and the weather was lovely in the 70's most days except for a last day where it decided to pour. Meanwhile back home, the temps soared into the 90's for several days and we haven't had any significant rain for weeks. I was kind of expecting those temperatures in New Mexico and the rain in Wisconsin not the other way around. Anyway, I had a great visit with my parents and enjoyed touring the Unser Museum - that is the racing Unser's in case you aren't a Indy car fan. Interesting when to see a family in which multiple generations all pursued the same passion. We are still in discussions on what the theme for our family museum will be and where we should locate it.
I came home just in time to do some laundry and pack up for a visit to Madison for another Badger football game. The heat had finally left and we got to enjoy watching the Badger's win in picture perfect college football weather - sunny, temperatures in the high 60's, almost a cloudless sky. To fill up the rest of the day we did a bit more selecting for our condo and a bit of shopping for some sports gear - we found we are bit short in red shirts sporting a badger. We then picked up a Rocky's sausage pizza (one of our favorite in Madison) and joined Kathy and John for dinner and a walk. Then it was time to head back to home so we could wake up in our comfy beds and not the air mattresses we have in Madison.
On Sunday, we caught up with some old friends from our days in Pennsylvania. Patte and John were neighbors at our second PA house and she is now doing a short assignment down in Chicago. They stopped by on their way back from Door County and we spent a couple of hours on our porch finding out was happened in the16 years since we last lived close by. Also, since it was John's birthday we had whipped up an apple cake to celebrate.
