okay so I skipped a week, sue me LOL
Week of Feb 16-20 was pretty crazy! I went to 2 Illinois offices on 2 days and worked from home on a third. Kind of nice to not have to be in my office everyday, all day. Sucky part was the driving 2.5 hours one way, sleep there, meeting for 4 hours (they forgot me when it came to lunch) and 2.5 hour drive back. Ah well I get paid for it!
Saturday the 21st he fished while I went to the gym. That night we hit up the local beer show called “Food & Froth” at the Milwaukee Public Museum – great to try a bunch of new flavors – and great to see an old friend at her own Homebrew station – check out what she made for the Milwaukee chapter of Barley’s Angels that night! She made the top three and the mead at the bottom. YUM!
Sunday February 22nd, he wanted to go fishing again so I said, lets try for walleye – so we went out from 4-8pm. I got 2 walleye that were too small to keep, he got a bass and then together we caught the biggest northern pike he’s ever seen! 35″ long and we think 10-12lbs!
The following week wasn’t much to talk about except on Thursday the 26th my girls talked each other into try “Insanity” at the gym, and boy was it insane! Good thing it was only a half hour. Weekend of Feb 28/Mar 1, his parents came down. They met him out fishing on Saturday (I went to the gym, met them later) to find that he finally got a walleye we could keep! 21″ long.
That night, his parents met my brother and my father for dinner and after that we went to the Greater Milwaukee Auto Show. My brother loves that kind of stuff, and his dad is semi-interested in a new truck, so that was fun to wander for a couple hours. Here is my brother checking them out.
Sunday we went fishing again and got not a darn thing! But we did grill out brats on the ice and of course, cheese, crackers and real venison sausage (hello, Wisconsin!?)…not to mention, drinking the beer he’s been brewing lately!
Live. Out. Loud.
