Last weekend we went up near Steven's Point, Wisconsin to spend the weekend at the lake house of one of Pam's counterparts from work. It was a nice, quiet, relaxing weekend. Got up there Friday evening. Settled in, visited with Jane and Tim and sipped some wine while logs burnt in the fireplace.
Saturday we went to a local cheese factory. Picked up some interesting varieties including Monterey Jack and cranberries. It was interesting to watch the equipment processing the cheese. We picked up a bag of curds and they were good. The only other time we'd tried them was in at the Minnesota State Fair a couple years ago, but they were deep fried.....and we liked them too.We also toured a couple of log homes of Gold Eagle Log Homes. They were really nice. One was just the right size for a couple. The other was seriously family sized. I don't know WHY I (Gene) didn't take any photos.
Saturday evening, Jane made a great beef stew for dinner, and we just hung out, consumed some adult beverages along with cheese, sausage and crackers we picked up at the cheese factory, watched a couple of movies and contributed to global warming by burning yet another fire in the fireplace.
Sunday was football for a while, and then headed home. They are about 100 miles NW of Madison, so about 250 miles in total. Easy drive. We're looking forward to going up there again soon.
What a neat bench out on the porch of one of the log homes.
