I woke from my awesome nap around 3:00 am, wondering WHAT fun I missed during the previous 8 hours. Being too early to stay up, I took care of some moths that were fluttering around and went back to bed...I can get a good 4 more hours of shut-eye in if I hurry!

7:00 am - Got my 4 hours for a total of 12 and heard, AGAIN, I missed out on lots of fun. Involved in the missing fun was a river, the woods, a streaker, some running, and someone with a spectacular imagination! Just make up your own story!!!!

The turkeys arrived for breakfast right away and it looks like the tin I set out is still there, unknown if it has any food in it or not. Well, time for coffee, cleaning and photos!

The C&C Coffee Cafe opened for about an hour...no need for the neon sign. We visited with Paul and caught up a bit since we didn't see him last weekend. After he left, I cleaned the inside of the cabin, Carlo got the fire pit ready for a bonfire tonight and then I blew the leaves off the porch and deck. We spruced it all up!

Carlo replanted our very sick looking (most likely dead) shrub. Maybe it will find new life in the sun!

I snapped lots of pictures and then showered while Carlo ran to Do-It-Best. Now all we need to do is wait for Val and John to arrive.

They arrived at 2:00 and we had an awesome BBQ lunch. The chef was certainly "in the cabin" or at least on the deck! After lunch we sat around and caught up on everything O'Wich since their last bi-annual visit. Well at least we have some traditional type visit in place! We chatted and laughed about anything and everything - and like a shampoo bottle; repeat!

We walked down to the river and sat there until the bugs were too much for Val and the little portable fans her and John clipped to their waistbands! This must be why Val and I are such good friends...our love of nature!!!

Val made her "wish" by the O'Wich version of the Wishing Stones...hmmm, I wonder what she wished for...

We had a bonfire for the rest of the night that included some snacks, smores and more laughter. Captain (Morgan) and Tenille (Tequila Rose) showed up to join in on the fun. They left around 11:00, decided to stay at the Best Western. Tomorrow we hit the Dells with them!
