We spent Memorial Day weekend helping our friends, John and Linda, move their lake house from Lake Geneva to Lake Winnebago. They now have an actual lake house since their new place is right on the lake - the Geneva location was inland a bit. Fortunately, there was time around all the packing and unpacking activities to get one last ride on Lake Geneva and one new ride on Lake Winnebago. Unfortunately, the weather decided to act like March instead of May - so it was long sleeved shirts, sweatshirts or anything to cover up since it was quite chilly on the lake. Even with all the moving activities it was a fun weekend especially exploring John and Linda's new house and lake. They are positioned on Lake Winnebago with a view to the west leading to beautiful sunsets from their living room and yard. A special treat was make s'mores around their fire pit - I even managed to not catch my marshmallow on fire, although I was really tempted to do it just for fun.
We got home just in time to pack back up to head over to Madison for the following week. Jo had a business meeting in Madison for a couple of days and we decided to spend the rest of the week there. I spent the time finally getting everything out of the moving boxes and doing a few needed chores - like setting up my new workbench and tool storage (I mostly managed to cram everything into the small storage room we have across the hall). On Friday we spent the morning working with Jo's sister, Kathy, getting her community garden plots tilled and planted. It will the first time in 17 years that we will actually have a vegetable garden that is in the full sun - can't wait to see the increased yields!!! Might actually get enough brussel sprouts to make two meals. Afterwards, we finished getting our kitchen semi-organized and then spent the evening having dinner and playing pool with Kathy and John.
All too soon it was time to load up the car and head back to Milwaukee. We both can't wait till we can stop moving things between one of our two locations. Pretty quiet week ahead, although Jo does have a business trip to Dallas at the end.
