Raspberry jam season!

Kristin and I made our annual trip to pick raspberries today.  The berries were great (as usual!)

 
and we saw a new friend as well...

Then came the cooking...

And finally the results...yum!

Kristin's last day of freedom

Today was Kristin's last day without work before she goes off to college, so I asked her what she wanted to do.  Her answer, take Jane and go to Sheboygan for a cheeseburger at Gosse's!

We filled the day with a great walk on the beach and dunes...

The desired cheeseburger for lunch...

Picked up Grandma and took her to the bookworm gardens (where the organizers have designed an interactive garden for each book)...

Can you guess which book this is?

And stopped for ice cream at one of the 100 best ice cream shops in the USA on the way home...

I'm full!

Future ride?

Kristin and I saw this great car for sale the other day and wondered whether or not it was meant to be her ride after finishing her college career.  Anyone want to weigh in with an opinion?

Perfect Summer Weather...

Even the cat has been enjoying this perfect summer weather...

Bald Bluff

I found this beautiful trail today and enjoyed it fully!

A lovely night

Thanks to the kindness of one of my students in accepting a last minute babysitting gig, we got to go out with Dave and Patty last night. They took us to a great place on the lake where we laughed and ate and even had a bunny visit us!

A day at the fair!

We love the state fair!  Kristin and I have gone very year since she was a baby and this year was no exception.  We each took a friend and had a ball...
