We're finally home again!

We took a week off and travelled to Wisconsin and Winnipeg, Manitoba. Our dog went to the kennel, our guinea pig went to grandma and grandpa's and our chickens were visited daily by some wonderful friends (who want some fresh eggs this fall! ;-) Picking up and going somewhere isn't as easy as it used to be! We spent a day in Wisconsin with Bret's brother Mark. We enjoyed BBQ chicken and a hike on his 40 acres. We spent an enjoyable week with Stephen and Heidi (and Benjamin) in Winnipeg and visited with all of Angela's family while there. On the way home we were surprised by a flat tire and ended up buying two new tires in Fargo, N.D.. Surprise! Although our return was delayed, we did stop in Janesville on the way back to check out our old house there. They put a pool where I had my garden and built a deck on the back of the house. Oh, well. I'm still quite glad we moved, although it was nice at the park by the highway. We stopped there for a while to let the kids stretch their legs. It was a nice trip down memory lane.
