I left Janesville for Green Bay shortly after another of Barb's wonderful breakfasts. I have two cousins living here, Sharon and Audrey. I am staying with Sharon in her beautiful condo. Tonight Audrey had us over to her apartment for dinner. It is getting really hard to stay on my diet on this trip, so I guess I'll just give up on it for the duration.

Sharon, Audrey and I drove to Marinette to visit another cousin, Karen. The four of us then drove to Menominee, Michigan, for lunch. We walked along the dock of the marina where there were gobs of huge sailboats. Can't figure out how so many people can afford this kind of living.
Here are the four cousins having lunch on the porch of a small restaurant in Menominee.August 6th -
Today we drove around Marinette looking at the town. A short distance out of the city limits is this house that my father built back in 1940, shortly before I was born. It was a farmhouse then with more land around it. I understand we even had a cow at that time. I didn't live there very long as we moved into town and lived there for awhile before moving to Milwaukee.
The house that dad built!I certainly don't remember living here, of course. But it was really fun to see the place. I have been collecting pictures of all the houses I have lived in in my lifetime. It's really fun to see them. I am thinking of making a collage or something of them in the future.
Tonight Sharon and I went to a concert on the lawn of the botanical garden in Green Bay. I see all the gorgeous flowers and wish I could have just a little piece of beauty like that in my yard at home. There was a big full moon tonight too and that added to the lovely surroundings and mood of the evening.
