A few highlights from the weekend!

We went to Guttenberg to see Gina, Steve, and Luca. We didn’t have big plans and mostly hung out and caught up!

Sunday

• Arriving in Guttenberg to spend a few days with Gina, Steve, and Luca.
• Hanging out and chatting.
• Checking out the new brewery in town and walking around downtown a bit.
• A yummy homecooked meal (pasta!).
• A walk with Gina after dinner.
• Staying up late chatting.

Monday

• Sleeping until 7:30! Woot woot! I never do that! (I needed to since we were up so late)
• A yummy breakfast – cinnamon rolls, hashbrowns, and vegan bacon.
• Going to the island to see what’s up (that is where my family has homes).
• Seeing the hay bale pooper! That is what we call the equipment that bales hay. We first saw one on a river trip many years ago and still talk about it.
• Grilling out lunch – burgers and hot dogs.
• Painting rocks with Luca and Gina.
• A yummy dinner – stir fry. Ha, I keep mentioning the meals because they were all so good!
• Walking around by the river after dinner.
• Staying up too late (past 12:00) chatting and being goofy again. We were trying to learn to whistle with our fingers and that did NOT work well for any one, except a little, for Steven.

Tuesday

• Sleeping until almost 8:00!
• A walk with Gina.
• Going to Pike’s Peak to hike with Gina and Luca and hide rocks. Luca really wanted to be in a reel so we hid rocks and I made a reel of it.
• Taco Salads for lunch.
• Arriving home just before dinner time and getting settled in.
• The cats seeming to have gotten along while we were gone!
• Packages from Colorado and Japan arriving. Val sent me painted cat rocks to donate to Sip & Purr, and my friend Lauren from Japan sent me the Been There Starbucks Japan mug (and a bunch of other goodies!).

Lowlights

• Just being so tired from staying up so late! My body can’t do it!
