Mix & Match

This weekend was the third year in a row I attended Head of The Charles, it was the 45th annual. Our first year it was 70 degrees, the second year it was very windy, we put on layers & layers and still froze. This year we had RAIN. We spent just over two & a half hours in the rain, it was not pleasant. Although, I would do it again. Head of The Charles is the premier rowing event & a must see. Kelsey is thinking of rowing in college so we just might go again next year.

I didn't bring my camera out into the rain. But, I did take photos out of the hotel window in MI during a storm that came thru.Since I have not spent much time on the water I found watching the bay during the storm very interesting.I mentioned to a few of Mick's co-workers that evening and they didn't have the enthusiasm I had.

Lambeau Field

This post is for LUD.

Mick & I went to Lambeau Field on 10/4 & had lunch at the sports bar, Curly's Pub, inside the stadium.

A statue of Vince Lombardi in front of the stadium.
Also one of "Curly" Lambeau.

The stadium looks very small.

During lunch I figured I've seen 9 NFL stadiums. Mick didn't like the idea of attempting to see everyone. So I was just happy to add WI to my list of states.

Dave, you have to plan a trip. Get out your game schedule.

Goose Poop

I tried to get close to the Canadian Geese, they would not let me. Make sure you notice the light in the background. I have a bunch of photos from that, for another day.

I love the geese & I have several geese prints hanging in the house.
I've always heard stories in the news about the goose poop problem, golfers that can't putt on the greens from the poop & even from home owners on the mess in their yards. "Hi, Ke" I NEVER knew the size of the poop until I saw it first hand in MI. I put down a penny so you could see just how big it is, in case you didn't know. I always assumed golfers were just making excuses on their game by complaining about goose poop.

I still love the geese.

Have a nice weekend. I can't believe another week is behind us. We are already half way thru October.

Replacement Again

Thanks for all your suggestions naming my replacement GPS. I knew someone(s) would suggest their own name, that's something I would have done. I loved the idea of "my little helper" and Sacajawea. What a joke the Palin suggestion was, totally against my idea of smart. So, when I decided to name the GPS Palin I couldn't believe it.

About four hours into my 15 hour road trip the GPS quit, shut off, screen went blank, to this day has not started back up, resigned. I was in a panic since I had no idea what my route was. Thankfully, about 45 minutes down the road there was a Walmart. I ran in, bought another GPS & paid way to much but at that point I would have paid anything. I should not own a GPS. I guess I can't live with one & can't live without one. Palin is not going back to Alaska but to Amazon in Kentucky.
Since I can't have a day without a photo. Our rental. Come visit, it sleeps eight.

Wordless Wednesday

A week away

Arrived home yesterday after spending nine days in Michigan. Here we are in the back yard of the house we rented along Lake Michigan.

It was a 15 hour drive, most of which thru Canada. I could have turned it into a much longer drive, if I stopped for photographs, the fall scenery was just beautiful. Stopping would have also been very dangerous. There are no shoulders on the sides of their roads.

Happy Thanksgiving

Happy Thanksgiving to all our Canadian friends.
