Nice relaxing day!

June 23 – No internet for 2 days, well, at least that’s a far ahead as we know.  It was a beautiful day today!  We left Oshkosh and got into the most traffic we’ve seen in a while near Madison, WI.  We are in Stoughton, WI for 2 nights.  The Viking Village Campground is beautiful!  Currently probably half of the sites are seasonals and we chatted with several.  Nice folks.  Some of the spaces are a little unlevel but we were lucky and got a good one!

While we were driving Bill made a reservation for me to go on a 2 hour tour of Frank Lloyd Wright’s home, Taliesin.  It’s expensive but I know it will be well worth it.  I’ve loved his work since I took a college class that we studied his work.  There are lots of homes/buildings he’s designed in WI since he’s from here.  Bill also called House on a Rock to see if we needed reservations for that but we don’t, so all is well and planned for tomorrow.

After settling in and having lunch we drove into town.  What a nice town.  Good size with some good stores.  We stopped at Aldi and I got a full bag of veggies, fruits, brats and a bottle of Peach Bellini!  Yum!  We passed a St Paul de Vincent thrift store and stopped as the one in Clermont is really good and this one was also.  Bill got some books and I got Tupperware!  What good deals.  Next door was McD’s and it was calling our names, so we went thru the drive-thru and ordered a mocha frappe for me and a caramel for Bill.  Yummy for sure!  We started to go to a Farm Market but realized it was further out than we wanted to go so we came home.

It was nice to sit out under the awning and just read!  Bill set the grill up for later and folks walking their dogs said , hey, and Bill always has a comment or to two make with them.  Bill grilled chicken and brats to go with the leftover pasta salad and steamed broccoli.  We had the last 2 shortcakes with strawberries and blackberries for dessert. 

No satellite tonight since we’re under some trees but did get quite a few channels on the antenna.  Bill was impressed!  I printed some postcards for mailing and time to finish my book!
