Last Friday, August 3, we took a trip up to Pickerel WI to visit Grandma and Grandpa Blodgett. This was our first time visiting their home in upper WI, at least upper compared to Pewaukee where they used to live. We arrived around 4pm on friday, let Gizmo explore the yard, which was rather large compared to what they are used to having for many years. Then we went out for a fish fry a few miles away in Pearson, i think. All of us had fish except Ed of course, he had a burger. Aunt Karen joined us up by the grandparents for the weekend too. That was the extent of friday night since I had worked the night before and only slept 3 hours before leaving that day, and Ed had worked at 5am friday morning also. So off to bed we all were by 10pm.
Well we thought we were going to sleep. Gizmo was a bit to excited about what was going on in the rest of the hous
e to actually sleep on his bed, so we let him in the bed with us. That was a mistake, 2 adults and a dog sleeping in a full size bed, didn't work so well. So that meant a night with lack of sleep again between trying to stay in the bed with the 3 of us, and Gizmo whining at the door to get out of the bedroom, the zzzzz's were few and far between.
Saturday we went out for breakfast, then we took a trip to the Liquidators store, which Aunt Karen calls the "Duncans" of the north. Bunch of cheap stuff, from tools to toys, to gift wrap, to gardening stuff, to seeds for the garden, you name it they had it. After that shopping excursion we headed back to the house where we let Gizmo run again, played some basketball, played catch with Gizmo, took a nap, had a late lunch/early
dinner since our breakfast was so big. Showered and then decided it was time to head home. I had to work on sunday night and we weren't looking forward to lack of sleep for a second night, and we had seen all there was to see in Pickerel WI. So we got our trip in to Pickerel this year, don't plan to return until next spring, they get lots of snow which doesn't interest me at all.
Sorry i forgot my camera this weekend so no pictures, until Aunt Karen fixes her camera and gets hers to me. More excitement for next weekend, heading to IL for Cousin Brookes wedding. We don't get to stay home any weekends in August! Putting some miles on the Hyundai!!
