 What a fun couple of weeks! We met Joel, Karen, Randy and Debbie at Leinie's Lodge for a evening of beer and music then went to Fill Inn for fish and Pizza one night. Then the next day friends Bob and Shirley Ericson stopped in for a visit enroute to a family wedding, then joel and Karen had us over to supper for Zucchini lasagna. tom actually ate it with out too much complaining. it was delicious! then the same night we were invited over to Cheryl and Kevins for a campfire. Newly met folks that are going to be at the campground for a couple of months. Earlier in the week we had been invited over to Laurie and Mike Browns for a evening of beer and playing vinyl records. Peggy and her sister Mary were there also. Good time. On sunday last week Hazel and Dean Poppe had us over for dinner. Another good time! Monday we had to cook for ourselves. :( . We had mom and Joel and Karen over one night for Chow Mein. Then Val and Ken surprised us by coming on tues this week for a couple of nights camping, eating, shopping, golfing and wine were enjoyed. Phils dad died so he has left us in charge for the weekend while he goes to the funeral. Tom is handling most of it. It is forcing us to stay home and close to camp! good thing, I am exhausted!  We are having the Rykal brothers and wives over on sunday for golfing and dinner. Still trying to decide what us women should do for the day. August is winding down quickly, by September we are going to have to start thinking about cleaning up, packing up and putting the summer stuff away. I got new glasses from sears optical last week, and now I hear the eau Claire store is closing. grrrrr!.

Just returned from our Rykal Retreat weekend held at Kevin and Aprill's. FUN, FUN FUN!! Everyone but Braden was there, so it was a busy household. Cindi and Mom came down on Saturday and spent the afternoon. They were going to spend the night but Kevin's dog Rascal and Cindi's Chewy did not hit it off and there was some snapping and growling going on so they left after supper. We all just hung out Thurs when everyone arrived then went to a Brewer game on Friday with tailgating. On sunday some went to the trampoline park and some took a drive over to Lambeau field. Heather lost her phone there and someone was nice enough to turn it in so she was able to get it back. Whew! very lucky as it was a new phone. Monday Eric and Breanna headed in her car to Brads in Crozet. She is going to live there while going to school. Heather and boys headed to Boulder and the rest of us hung out the guys, Mallory and Payton went golfing and Kendall, Brett and I went out to lunch and then the park for awhile and played a rousing game of War. Tues. Brads headed out at 0300 to catch a plane and we left at 0830. In between we ate a lot! Those boys require regular feedings!! A busy laugh filled weekend! Everyone is home safely and that is always a good thing.
 Back at the park things are same old same old. So far we have put in 171 hours between the both of us since arriving. Tom is doing more. The garden is producing pretty well but the beans are slowing down but tomatoes and corn are picking up. I had a dental and eye appointments, Teeth perfect! Need a new set of glasses which I kinda new. Supposedly, my eyes have improved overall.
