More Culture

This weekend had so much to offer culturally in Northern Wisconsin. I wanted to go to 2 main events; Catfish Races in Greenville and State Tree Climbing Competitions in Appleton at Erb Park. The night of the Catfish races there was a great lightening and thunder storm so we didn't go, but Saturday was the Tree Climbing competition.

On a scale of 1-10 in excitement it was probably a 3, but I was very impressed with the skill and the determination of the people climbing those trees. The kids watched one guy climb a tree and they were through. Mike and I at least watched 3 guys climb trees before we said "ICE CREAM" and we were off to Van DeWalls.

Today we spent the afternoon at a beautiful Waterfall near Crivitz, and then a little drive around and found those cool old cars.

Speaking of trees, Mike got the final board into the treehouse floor, now we just need the walls, ladder, tree swing, trap door and railing. Actually the railing is going up next, I still get a little queasy going up there it is really high. I'm so proud of Mike for working so hard on this.


I've not blogged for a very long time, well, not here. I've posted notes on facebook. I think I'll rekindle the blog for a while.

I have been selling my pendants, owls and softy things at The Fire and also started on online store called etsy.com. I'm not too sure how this is going to turn out. Could be a time waster. I'm grateful for the sales that I have made.
