Happy Memorial Day I remember my Grandfather Trautner who
served in World War 1 he loved Memorial Day and the parades and going to the
cemetery. We always seemed to have a
family picnic either at Henes Park or at home.
Rain, rain go away come back when we are not here. We moved campsites so we now have full hook
ups when they close the showers again to finish them. I am working mostly in my workspace creating
some great cards and making some videos.
It is Memorial day and everyone seemed to leave early as we
could change campsites by 2 PM everyone
was gone.
We were going to have Brats but not in the rain. Don made friend potatoes which was nice for a
cold rainy day.
I tried to get some work done so went up to the club house
for internet and uploaded my videos for the week. When I got back to the campsite and we moved
I tried to work more but with the Data throttled down it was hard so we played
500 Rummy and watched a little PBS Antiques Road Show. Just a laid back day.

Got up and the sun was shining so it will be a nice
day. Headed to the clubhouse to get my
newsletter out and Don went to do laundry.
Maybe a long walk this after noon or a nap.
It was a beautiful day all day. I got my newsletter out and Don got the
Laundry done. We had a few conversations
with Meigan about Australia mainly about insurance, when can she be out of her
dorm etc.
Don tried to put some disinfectant in our holding tank and
after a few tries we got the right one.
The lights went off and we scrambled to see what was
wrong. Don finally found the GFI
reset. He is so good at those things.
WE still hate the smell of cigarettes and at times it seems
to get worse. WE opened the Jack Knife
couch and got a face full. Have to find
a way to get rid of it if possible or we may get another RV.
Walked around the campground only about 5 campers still here
though the long term trailers are still here.
Finally had our Brats this evening and have a few for lunch
tomorrow. Rain again. Well one day out of 4 not to bad I guess.

Today was another beautiful day. Sun out and I actually got into shorts after dinner.
Went for a drive around the area and looked at a few
beautiful areas around some lakes. There
are a lot of lakes in this are. Came
home and started getting ready to leave tomorrow. So a laid back day until Stampin’ Up! threw a
sale at me at the last minute. SO now I
am working.
May 30, 2019 Moving
day going to Blue Mounds State Park WI
Today was moving day.
Had a few drips of ran at each place but not bad. Was a long drive and
the GPS took us through a lot of back roads which is not bad but before we got
to the Blue Mounds State Park I thought
we were again in Bandera and on the long trek out to Holiday Villages and are
we really going the right way, can we turn around if the road stops. But we made it fine.
We were ready to leave the St Croix River Resort.
As we were leaving I noticed that most of the trees now were
full of leaves. When we were coming in
they all had buds on and now they are bright green with new leaves. It is great to see that and really notice it
happening.
So we headed down the road to Blue Mounds State Park. Not the smoothest check in not the fault of
the Park, in fact Maria was very helpful.
We didn’t get to see Kayla as she had dancing. I hope we can spend some time with her
tomorrow.

Beautiful morning this morning went for a walk around the
campground and there are a few more folks than when we went for a walk last
night well at least 2 more for a total of 7 we will see what we will have this
evening.
Tried the shower loved the shower room but could not find
the hot water. It was warm but not hot.
But it was a nice and clean shower.
Around 3:10 we headed out to see Kayla. Was not a bad drive except for the
construction. She was off work and
home. She has a nice apartment and in a
nice area. We had to go and pick up a
UPS package we thought was for Don and it was not but for Kayla, well she would
have gotten it sooner or later.
She didn’t want to go out to eat so we made plans for
tomorrow and headed out for some big shopping found a great grocery store that
Kayla recommended – Woodmans. It is
huge.
So got back to the campground and it is filling up. We move
tomorrow and Kayla will be here to go to the Art Tour. I wished we got to spend more time with her
tonight but we will have all day tomorrow.

Today we had to change campsites to a no electric one. We are on a down hill sloop and really didn’t
try to level it was only going to be one night and I hate that it jiggles when
it is of it’s wheels but we definitely roll forward.
Kayla was looking at fish tanks so we went into her place
instead of her coming to the campsite and we going on the Art Tour. It was a fun day. Not just once but 3 times her and Emily went
to the Petsmart store for fish related stuff.
As we were driving in I noticed that the same fields I saw
yesterday some today had little green shoots in them. Some you could see the farmer still planting
and tilling on. But it was amazing what
1 warm sunny day could do.
After we did some fish tank things we went to a Chinese
Dumpling Restaurant for lunch. Was that really good. It was nice as Kayla
paid for it. She really has grown up a
lot lately. Usually if we teased that
she should buy she would have said she wasn’t hungry and would not order
anything this time she said OK I
will. So proud of that.
We got back to their apartment and they finished the fish
tanks. Then Patrick came home Emily’s
boyfriend and the third roommate. WE had
a good time putting a puzzle together and it was so much fun. We left after 6 so we could get home and BBQ
pork chops but once we got back here decided not to.
We hope all three will come out tomorrow and walk around the
area and have Brats with us.
June1. Went to Church
this morning to Immaculata Conception or St
Bernadette. Was very small only 1
mass on Sunday about 100 folks there it was at 8:30 so surprised I saw a lot of
kids and young folks. Was a very
friendly place.
We switch campsites again to an electric site. They should hate us as we were going into one
but wanted another so change again.
Maria was very helpful.
Kayla, her friends and roommates Emily and Patrick. We took a ride around the park and then went
into Mt Horeb and had a great time. Kayla
and Emily liked the Art Show and bought a few things. We walked around and had a great time.
Headed back to the campground. I did my live event and we got ready to have
brats. It was so fun to have a great
conversation and dinner. We had a fire
and play Cards Against humanity. Spent all
day with 3 amazing young people today. I
was really glad to see how much Kayla has grown up and that she has some
amazing friends.
