Well, you are going to have to wait until tomorrow for the pictures.   I am pretty tired and we are not done yet.

Bret, Barb and I drove over to Wade House this morning for the tour.   The weather was perfect and we had a great time.   I had not seen the sawmill that was restored in 2004 so along with the house, the blacksmith shop  and the carriage house.   We all had lots to see.   Barb and I got to pet the horses - they have very soft noses and seemed to like it.

We had fun doing a bit of shopping.  I got Dick some popcorn, some homemade candles and a small jar of orange marmalade. 

Then we came home and rested just a bit.  By the way, Bart was kind of sore and tired so he rested while we were gone.   Then Barb and I went to the Design Center in Kohler as Barb had never been there.   We "picked out" a whirlpool bath for Barb and a wonderful roll in shower for Dick.

Jim and Michelle called.  Michelle had surgery today.   It seems to have gone well but please pray for them as it is always scary.

This evening we went to Sweet Basil for our dinner.  It is our favorite restaurant and we love to share.  Bret treated us.  I had salmon, the kids had scallops and Dick had spaghetti and meatballs.   Then we came home and Bart and Barb stopped at Walmart and picked up fresh strawberries, sponge cakes and whipped cream for dessert.

Now we will be going to see Mother so that the boys can say goodbye to her as they leave in the morning.  Bret at 5:45AM.   Bart and Barb somewhat later but before noon.

So this wonderful visit is coming to an end.  I will miss them but we will never let this long elapse again.  It was so good  to have them together just being brothers.

Love you all and God does too.

Mary
