Saying Good-bye and Heading South

Lake Delton, WI.
59 deg. clear, no wind.
Forecast today = high temp. 85 deg. clear, NE winds @ 5 to 10 mph.

Yesterday morning was kind of sad for Jim and Linda. Everyone that was staying at the lodge had to check out by 10:00 AM, so the plan was to meet at Howie's Restaurant at about that time. Howie's is a restaurant that has been around for years and years, they're known for their great breakfasts, they're only open for breakfast and lunch, and then close about 2:00 PM. It has become kind of a tradition for the whole family to get together one last time there, before heading home.

After they finished eating everyone went outside and then, there were the hugs, handshakes, and kisses before they all got into their vehicles and headed for home. Jim and Linda will more than likely not see most of them again until the next reunion.

Like I said, Kind of a sad time.

After they left the restaurant, Jim and Linda came back here to the RV Park and just relaxed for awhile. Then, about 3:00 they took CLT and headed into the Dells to try to find some moccasins for Linda. They were successful, and bought 2 pairs. On the way back here to the park, they stopped and bought a few groceries.

Today, we'll start heading back towards Florida. Anna's wedding will be on the 16th, but I need to get Linda down there about a week before that, so she will have time get a blood test and get the results before going to her doctor on the Monday after the wedding. I actually have 9 days to get her down there, but I think we're going to try to make it in 7 so that Jim and Linda will have more time to visit with Laura, and of course, help with the preparation of the wedding in any way that they can.

Did you know that on this date in 1876 Wild Bill Hickok was murdered in Deadwood, S.D.?
