A wonderful weekend

My family spent last weekend in a cabin in the woods near the Wisconsin Dells. We were only about five minutes from town but we were in a very secluded area on a lake. There were eleven of us, and to say we had a good time doesn't begin to describe our experience.

We all contributed to the meals and I must say we enjoyed very good food, which we took turns preparing. We certainly did not go hungry!

We had some delicious drinks as well. Plus plenty of beer! 

Saturday was spent on the water with kayaks, a canoe and a rowboat.

In the evening we had a fire by the lake and made S'mores.

We ventured into town on Friday for dinner. The group is missing my youngest daughter and her boyfriend. He took her to a nearby vegan restaurant which was very good.

We had so much fun and we are looking forward to more trips in the future 😃


P.S.
I asked my kids if it was ok to show their pictures, it was not a problem for any of them. My youngest did have one request. Her friend watched Duncan for the weekend, and my daughter wanted me to include this photo of him dressed in the outfit her friend bought for him. We both thought everyone would enjoy it. ( Youngest is the one in the kayak so I didn't forget her either.)  😉

Dapper Dunc!

P.S.S.
Happy Fathers Day P!!!

Short and Sweet

Sometimes I come across something that really resonates with me. This little cartoon is one of those things. I think that all us WTIOCers are at this place in life also.

Here's to a wonderful weekend, friends!

No kidding

I thought these were self explanatory,  but it never hurts to be reminded. 😉

Nine important facts to remember as we grow older:

Number 9 - Death is the number 1 killer in the world.
Number 8 - Life is sexually transmitted.
Number 7 - Good health is merely the slowest possible rate at which one can die.
Number 6 - Men have two emotions: hungry and horny, and they can't tell them apart. If you see a gleam in his eyes, make him a sandwich.
Number 5 - Give a person a fish and you feed them for a day. Teach a person to use the Internet and they won't bother you for weeks, months, maybe years.
Number 4 - Health nuts are going to feel stupid someday, lying in the hospital, dying of nothing.
Number 3 - All of us could take a lesson from the weather. It pays no attention to criticism.
Number 2 - In the 60's, people took acid to make the world weird. Now the world is weird, and people take Prozac to make it normal.
Number 1 - Life is like a jar of jalapeno peppers. What you do today might burn your butt tomorrow.
...and as someone recently said to me don't worry about old age; it doesn't last that long

Have a good week everyone!

The unforgettable Maya Angelou

Summer may be here

It appears that the weather has finally warmed up in my neck of the woods.  Here are a few pictures to start the weekend.
