Ah, The Hot Breezes in WIsconsin

I tell you what.  We leave Florida to escape the heat and it never fails, its hot no matter where we go!  We are in Green Lake, WI and our site has no shade.  Yesterday, the outside temp read 99.  Don't know how accurate that was but it was definitely in the mid 90's.

Haven't been doing too much exciting as I have been a bit under the weather. 

But today we got out and about.  First stop, an Amish farm with vegetables for sale.  All I got were some good looking onions, and they smelled great.  We then went to an Amish bakery that is only open Friday and Saturday.  They bake all morning so their goods are actually warm from the oven.  We bought some homemade egg noodles, a little 4" cherry pie, cinnamon roll and cinnamon bread.  The cinnamon bread is outstanding, best I have ever had by far.  Makes me want another piece just thinking about it.  The noodles were good and the cherry pie was also amazing.  YUM!

We went with friends to Maple Marsh, an unusual shop full of art prints, craftsman furniture and woodsy, cabin type decor items.  And it was out in the middle of nowhere.
A very interesting place.  I found a little wooden crafty item that I loved...


It's kind of like the elusive falls of Chippewa Falls.  We went to Maine and all around the northeast, looked and looked but never saw a moose.  Then we went to Wyoming and Montana.  Looked and looked and never saw a moose.  I think moose are avoiding us.
So when I saw this guy just paddling away, I had to take him home.

We headed back to the trailer, had some lunch and I took a nap. :-)

Plans to meet my sister and her husband for dinner were made earlier in the day.  Meeting up with them and Mary & Al in Berlin, WI at the City Inn.  Put the restaurant in the GPS and we were off.  Only problem being that the street the restaurant is on is under construction.
But nonetheless, we arrived
This used to be a Knights of Columbus, and is now the City Inn.  Most everyone had the buffet,



which was picture worthy, but I opted for the grilled chicken.  It was the first meat that I've eaten in 3 days.  It was pretty good but not picture worthy.


Downtown Berlin, a neat little town.
After dinner, we said our good-byes to Mary and Al.  So hard to do as she is one of my oldest and dearest friends.

Tomorrow we are headed to Oshkosh, where we will park in my sister's driveway for awhile before turning south for the North Carolina mountains and home.
