Karena Cutler
Our first stop was in the Oshkosh area where we delivered a piece of furniture (that once served in Bob and Jean's home), to Karena Cutler/Lake. She picked Rinn up from daycare so we could see her. We don't see Rinn often enough that she is real comfortable around us, but she liked Char. We believe it's because Char's an "Ope"; (some one who looks young and holds a child like appearance) and kid are drawn to kids.

Charlene Kuhl and Rinn Lake
It is always a surprise to see a child after a few months and see how fast they grow. It goes for Ridley also. The last time I saw Rinn I thought she looked like Mom, but this time there seemed to be a little more Dad in her eyes. She sure is a cutie.
We weren't able to stay too long before we had to dart off to the factory in Oshkosh that manufactures the lazy susan parts of the 'spinner boards' that Jeff makes. It saves quit a bit by buying direct and picking them up at the factory saved a lot on shipping. Gee I wonder if we can write off the gas as a business expense? And off to New Holstein....

Due to the diversion in our course we took a route we don't usually travel and saw a huge stand of wind mills spinning in the fields. I can't begin to guess how large of an area they covered or how many there were, but there were a lot of them all turning in the wind. I thought it was very interesting but I haven't found a project name or a story behind the crop of towering turbines. If any one has any information they can share I would like to hear about it.
We arrived safe and sound at Mothers pad where we crashed for the night. There's no place like home.
On Saturday we got our acts together at a reasonable time and headed off to Elkhart Lake Farmers Market. We weren't there to look at the produce, there were crafts and artsy stuff as well as some very cool looking vehicles. Oddly a lot like Stillwater.
We stopped at the cheese and wine shop sister Carlo work with, Kris's Cheese to Please in Plymouth and Char picked up some treats that she had discovered during our last visit. And I stopped at a scrapbook store and found a few clearance items and a little something to put together a page for our next adventure... Road America.
Thanks Doris for getting us ticket to go to the June Sprints. I feel like such a hypocrite because I, the person that states that auto racing is the biggest waist of fuel had a good time. It was exciting to watch the cars go through parts of the hilly and curvy 4 mile track. It is a pretty cool track and we went to corner 5 for old time sake. Insert "Flash back to the 70's here"
We agreed we would do that again or maybe watch the motorcycles race.
Jeff got much better pictures than I did because he has an uber cool Zoom lens that pulled in the cars right in front of him. I sure would like an uber cool zoom lens. Maybe when I learn how to use the camera better. There were a few race teams from the twin city area including Stillwater.

Not everyone stayed on the track. Two went off, one got back on. Everyone was alright.
Later in the afternoon we went to the Graduation party for Brad. There were so many familiar faces and it was nice to see some new ones. Kate and Paula were there with there guys and it was so good to see the kids. I wanted to get some pictures of Steph and her horse, and here they are.
I needed a family fix, some times I get a little home sick even at my age. Char had a good time hanging out with her cousins too.

We packed up the 20 pounds of string cheese that we acquired to fill the orders of our friends and left early enough that we got back in time for Jeff to see Vickie and Ridley as well as his Dad.
Ridley is now on the move....

And Goldie is unsure. Think she is going to work on staying out of Ridleys path.
