Save the TaTa's and some other recent memories



This past weekend, I walked with 3 friends{Cassie, my niece; Delilah, my sister-in-law; and Jodi, George's coworker}for the 1st Annual Lake Geneva Hope Walk for Breast Cancer. We couldn't have picked a better day for the walk, or better scenery. We hiked along the Lake Geneva shorepath, which literally crosses over the backyards of mansions along the lake. Lake Geneva has a rule of some sorts that mandates lake property owners to maintain a walkway for people to saunter around the lake. We walked to Williams Bay (7 miles) and then back to Lake Geneva (another 7 miles). Grand total: 14 miles! The "Save the Ta-Ta's" reference in the Title comes from some of the creative shirts we saw fellow walkers wearing along the lake path...







Last weekend was our 5th anniversary ("6th Honeymoon". We spent a wonderful weekend in Elkhart Lake, at the Osthoff Resort. On the way to the Resort, we stopped by the Kohler/Andrae State Park near Sheboygan---absolutely impressive. Who knew that Wisconsin had sand dunes? We had a blast walking barefoot (in late September) along Lake Michigan.






Here are a few random pictures of Marcella, her cool new shoes from Grandma, soaking her feet with Daddy, and our amazing Orange Tree.

Wow, you have been busy. Love the pictures. Isn't the Ostoff Resort nice? Scott took me there last year. Very nice.

With Michael's new job, he recently held a training session at the Ostoff Resort. He said it was really nice.

. . . and Andre-Kohler State Park?! We visited the dunes on our way to Door County. Gorgeous park that I will appreciate visiting in the future.
