Harvest

Harvest has started. This is a quirky year, with Husband's brother down from back surgery. Our nephew Nick and son J are both here helping. So far so good! (photo by Son J.)

Nineteen

Hard to believe Little L. is nineteen!

 She had a bonfire party with friends and gifts from the family.

Milwaukee

After Nathan and Raena's wedding, the girls rode home with relatives, and Husband and I went on to Milwaukee for a soybean conference. A. and L. rode with Uncle Brian and Aunt Dena, and had a great time. They made a side trip to the Amana Colonies.

 Neither of us had been in Milwaukee before. While he went to meetings, I explored the city.

Milwaukee Art Museum, filled with lots of cool art, known for its stunning architecture. Many "known" artists to see and many "less known" to discover. I enjoyed taking pictures. Some of my favorite pieces are here, many just as detail shots. (Actually, I don't really love Picasso, but he is so "important" and interesting, I always like to see his work.)

 

Flea Market

W. and I went to the flea market with Amy and Sidney. We were gone for Sidney's birthday, so had a girl date together instead. We had a great time poking around in the junk and bringing a few things home.

This cigar box was packed with lots of little fun things. W. and I bought it together. It reminds me of an I Spy book page. See if you can find: three pairs of Dutch clogs, two question marks, 4 pigs, a tarnished silver tray, a nutty duck, two cows, a fire plug, Mount Rushmore, three thimbles, a bell, an ear of corn, IOWA (or IA) four times, four windmills, and two old locks.

Wedding!
