Greetings and welcome!
It has been a while since I updated . I took a little time off and got married. It was a very small affair with only a few friends. We are planning an outdoor celebration later in the summer that will be quite a bit larger and more public.
We have a beautiful weekend coming up. Today we are looking at 76 and sunny, Saturday 78 and sunny, and Sunday 83 with increasing clouds. The next rain chance is for Sunday late afternoon and Sunday night. The only caution that I have here is be aware that with clear skies once the sun goes down temps can drop into the mid-40s (tonight) or mid 50s (Saturday night) so bring a sweatshirt or jacket along. I guess that there are two cautions.. I don’t trust a weather forecast that I like this much.
The 4th of July weekend was busy around here, but much quieter than normal. I guess that $5 gas will keep a lot of people home. If all of your disposable income will go into the gas tank why go?
My gun shy/thunder shy border collie was happy about it though. Instead of having 4 days of firecrackers and bottle rockets terrifying her there were only the professional shows in Crivitz, Wausaukee, and at the Twin Bridge Ski Team and one neighbor’s show on Sunday night. For the most part it was pretty quiet, and she/we were happy about that. I personally love fireworks and how I ended up with a dog that is terrified of them is another day’s story.
We are a little behind on rain right now so fire danger is on the high side. It was for the 4th weekend too but I am not aware of any wildfires. The good news is that the lawn is starting to go dormant.
Gas prices are coming down. I paid 4.69 locally yesterday and today they were $4.49 in Crivitz. When I went to Marinette a few days ago I saw prices as low as $4.27. It is a start. Now if they only come down $2 more we could have some spending money left when we go on vacation.
I do have one event for this weekend.. An ATV ride with the Ranger City Riders. The ride starts tomorrow at 10am at their clubhouse and ends at Sociables Bar just east of Athelstane.
That’s it for me. Have a good weekend and thank you for visiting!
