Madison

We spent part of last weekend in Madison visiting Craig and Megan. In addition to a couple of great dining spots (The Old Fashioned and Sunprint Cafe), we also saw a Wisconsin Badgers hockey game, visited the Farmer’s Market and the Henry Vilas Zoo. It was a blast– enjoy the photos!

Halloween Cupcakes

…because you can’t have too much sugar in your viewing diet. This was my Saturday afternoon project– I was working on these while Lisa was making her White Chicken Chili.  Yeah, we ate pretty well that night. I’m still working on my cupcake-frosting technique.  I’ll get there one of these days.

Fall View

Fall is almost upon us.  We had a great summer, and we’re ready for the cooler weather which will bring us more fires in the firepit, Lisa’s molasses cookies, and the ever-popular Apple Butter Daze in Indiana.

Granny’s Backyard

We spent part of the long holiday weekend at Lisa’s grandmother’s new house in Akron. The new house is wonderful, and fortunately much of the original landscaping is still intact.  This shot is of the farthest-back portion of the yard, taken in the late afternoon.
