Our First Florida Party

We got together with 8 of our Franklin friends and gathered at our place Sunday for an informal party. One of the gals brought me these beautiful roses. The gentleman with the beard sings next to me on our church choir

Autumn in Wisconsin

On a beautiful Sunday, about a week or so ago, Bob & I took a ride to view the autumn colors.


We went to Holy Hill about an hour away from town. We happened to get there just as a Mass was ending and a massive crowd of visitors were following a priest in a procession.

I believe the priests and his altar boys were marching along the paths where many grottos are nestled in the hills. The choir was singing while they walked by.

Here is a view from atop the Holy Hill road.

And another..

As much as I dread the cold weather that is approaching us, there is nothing more spectacular than Wisconsin's Autumn!!
