I journeyed north in search of cooler weather over the Fourth of July weekend
in the summer of 2005. Escaping the 90+ degree Florida heat, I found welcome
relief in Wisconsin, where the temps were in the 70s for a high--and dipped into
the 50s at night. I had to borrow a heavy coat! Here are some of the
pictures from that trip.

An old farm in the country near Willard, WI. |
 |
Cindy, one of the birthday celebrants. Sweet 29...and holding....
|
 |
Donna and Dan, at West Fourteenth, which is on 13th street. Go
figure. We're here for our Fish Fry! |
 |
Two of the princesses |
 |
"Kemo Sabe, me see um coming up the hill." |
 |
"Now what the heck is Dad looking for, another lawn to mow?' |
 |
George and Cindy's pond with an island in it. My definition of
"serenity." |
 |
Grandma and granddaughter, sharing a moment. |
 |
Good looks run in the family! But who is this tall kid? |
 |
Dad relaxing. He's retired, so this is his full time job now. |
 |
Joe is mentoring his younger cousins, no doubt giving them tutelage
in the finer arts of beer drinking. I'm sure belching is right around
the corner. |
 |
Proof that I was there. |
 |
My brother-in-law the Cyclops, Perry. Wonder what he's looking
for? |
 |
It's George's birthday party, so why's he cooking. Well, at least he
has two supervisors. Must be a government job. |
 |
The picture of summer relaxation. |
 |
And even better picture of summer relaxation, with maybe a bit of
childhood remembrance thrown in. |
 |
Water Sports, Konieczny style. |
 |
Sing around the campfire...minus the singing. |
 |
The setting for the pre-fireworks party, in Dan and Mary's back
yard. |
 |
George obviously loves having his picture taken..... |
 |
George and Cindy. |
 |
Lots of food ready....and it was a great meal! |
 |
Some of the fireworks. It was truly an awesome show, and our seats
were within 50 yards of them. Truly spectacular. |

Fourth of July, and we're having Dad's three beer chicken. |
 |
The cook and the boss. |
 |
Mom, looking a bit pensive! |
