VACATION COUNTDOWN

ON MY HOMEPAGE THERE IS A COUNTDOWN METER THAT’S BEEN COUNTING DOWN THE DAYS TO OUR WISCONSIN VACATION SINCE AIM WAS HERE FOR SPRING BREAK.  IT’S BEEN A LONG COUNTDOWN, ESPECIALLY FOR MARY WHO DIDN’T GO HOME TO WISCONSIN AT ALL LAST YEAR.

I WAS IN WISCONSIN LAST MAY WITH AMY AND WE ENJOYED OUR ROADTRIP WITH THE O.D.’S CADILLAC IMMENSELY. WE HAD “SUNNY & 80” WEATHER THE WHOLE TRIP. IT WAS LIKE THE 4TH OF JULY WITHOUT ANY BUGS.

I ENJOYED IT SO MUCH I DECIDED TO REPEAT THE TRIP THIS YEAR WITH MARY. UNCLE HANS JUMPED ON THE BANDWAGON AND EVEN OFFERED THE CADILLAC FOR OUR ROADTRIP TO MT HOPE, LACROSSE, AND SPOONER.

AS WE WATCHED THE SPRING WEATHER PROGRESS WE REALIZED THAT IT WAS GOING TO BE A LATE SPRING, AND WE WERE OVERJOYED THAT WE WOULD BE ABLE TO CATCH THE MORAL MUSHROOM SEASON AS WELL.

THEN I TURNED ON MY COMPUTER THIS MORNING AND READ ON FACEBOOK WHERE TERESA REPORTED THAT THE MORAL MUSHROOM HUNTING WOULDN’T START UNTIL JULY THIS YEAR…….

AND HEATHER FROM LACROSSE SENT THIS PICTURE….

I’VE NEVER SEEN A GLOOMIER PICTURE OF LA CROSSE!!!  THE WHITE AREAS ARE SNOW COVER FOR GOD’S SAKE……

AND THEN A PICTURE FROM UNCLE HANS AND RENEE……

 

SWEET JESUS, NOW THE COUNTDOWN METER IS MOVING TOO QUICKLY AND IT’S ONLY 14 DAYS TO GO……

JUST TO GET EVEN WITH YOU WISCONSIN JESTERS, HERE IS A PHOTO OF OUR OUTDOOR THERMOMETER WHICH IS SITTING IN THE DIRECT SUN.

 

TAKE THAT !!! AND YOU HAVE ONLY TWO WEEKS TO GET RID OF THAT SNOW, ICE, AND TO FIND FRESH MORAL MUSHRROMS.
