grabbed several pics.

Stump removal and our trip

Before we left for Wisconsin, the tree person came

to remove our stumps. Or I should say grind them.

Platteville, WI is famous for the mysterious "M" on 

the side of a hill.

We arrived at Lake Kegonsa and the first thing from

the kids was, "Can we go on a boat ride?"

Springers Restaurant and their Friday evening

"Fish Fry".

The shoreline on the south-side of the lake.

This would kill my legs.

Love the stonework.

A nice look west(two pics)

Someone waterskiing, before the wipeout.

Got the firepit going and the kids roasted

marshmallows(see "Boat ride, marshmallow roast").

More to come.

The Itsy-Bitsy Spider

Spider hanging on our Dining area light. Gonna have

Another view(with flash) of the spider in its glory

[before it was disposed of at the toilet].
