Nothing absurd or funny to report...

Will never get used to all the driving. We took a day trip to Minneapolis yesterday(6 hours roundtrip from Ladysmith). Visited with Heather's grandmother and an aunt, as well as one her college friends. We didn't go to the Mall of America(I've been), but we did end up at a mall named Eden Prairie(akin to Montgomery Mall, only smaller) -- ate at a decent Chinese restaurant called Great Mandarin, where the waiter called me "buddy" about a dozen times.

One of Heather's aunts(from Milwaukee) had a family cookout at their "cabin" on Dairy Land Flowage(formerly Lake Flambeau) today. The girls got to swim and everyone got a nice tour of the lake by boat. Rather nice actually.

Zoe's beem completely out of sorts for stretches the past couple of days, not our usual happy go along, occasionally stubborn little girl. I reminded of our visit to Cape May last summer when she refused to drink anything for a couple of days.

time to sleep...
