People, Places, and Bovines Along the Way - - -

.

During our wanderings around Wisconsin last week, Dad and I had some "close encounters" of our own kind.


This is Norma and her hubby Dwight. Some of you may remember Norma from my dandelion dish post. So many of you LOVED her from the note I posted then that I begged her to let this picture to be taken so I could show her off to you. She and Dwight are very dear to my heart.

(Hey - - - that's a pretty good picture of moi, n'est pas? I say this only because I am about the most unphotogenic person in the universe and often look ridiculous in photos.)


This is my cousin Shirley, who is Doug's sister, and her hubby Dave. I KNOW you remember Doug, the one who can do it all.

Shirley and Dave took us to breakfast at a place where the food was yummy beyond belief. Sorry - - - I forgot to get out my camera, so you'll just have to take my word for it with nary a picture over which to drool.


This is the mall in Wisconsin Rapids, which is the town where I graduated from High School. We didn't even HAVE a mall back in those prehistoric days. I just HAD to take this picture so my Marion friends would believe me when I tell them there IS a mall SMALLER than ours!!!!

Nancy's House on Lake Wazeecha
Isn't it the cutest little bungalow EVER?

Nancy was my sister's BF in HS.
She is also now a bloggy buddy of mine so
I took these pictures especially as a surprise for her.
Nancy - - - the place looks GREAT!!!

This picture is for Ollie Hopnoodle fans everywhere.
It wasn't "Granny's" but it was close enough to
Make me slam on the brakes and grab the camera.
They even had little windmills,
Though they aren't visible in this photo.

THIS is a truly green bovine.
She doesn't consume any natural resources.
She is 100% committed to recycling.
She doesn't produce any pollution.
AND she doesn't release methane gas.
(That's "passing gas" for those of you non science geeks)

She's also dry.
To the question, "Got milk?"
She just says nooooooooo.
