My dear friend, Karen, sent me this youtube last night.

Chuck and Karen own Mickey-Lu's.

It is one of our favorite places in the whole world.

We all miss it and everyone in my family is a 'fan of Mickey-Lu's on Facebook". :o)

But I miss Karen even more than Mickey-Lu's.
Love you Karen!!!

Watch!








Marinette is the last town in Wisconsin on hwy 41, just before you get to Upper Michigan.

If you are on your way to the U.P. via Marinette....you must stop at Mickey-Lu's.

You won't be sorry.

In fact, you will be delighted.

FYI: It's closed on Mondays.

Katie said she was trying to make a face like Emma.

Oh yea. Emma does a little sideways glance thing.

Hello Nineties!!!

I have a rule around here.

We are not allowed to complain about the weather.

No matter how hot and sticky and flushed and uncomfortable we are....we can not complain about it.
Unbearably cold and snowy winters will make you do all sorts of things.

We have a cool car and a cool house and fans for hot nights.

Summer is for sweat dripping and sunburns and dips in the cool pool and trips to the farmers market.
It is a time for bare feet and mosquitoes and sunlight.

I am determined to love every sweaty second.

The girls of summer



Look at Katie's tummy!!! White enough for ya?

She borrowed her friend's super cute swimsuit for the afternoon.

Burned her little back in the process, but had hours of fun in the pool and sprinkler.

Super fun!!!

Patrick Jr. comes home this afternoon!!!
We can not wait.

I think I will bake a cake!!!


What special treat do you make for your friends or family when they come to visit?



Encourage one another,
