A Quiet but fun weekend

This last week John and I decided that enough fat was enough fat.

Yep, it was time to watch what we eat, yet again, and start walking more regularly so we could lose a bit of this fat.

We walked every night last week for at least three miles, so that was good.

We shopped on Friday and bought lots of fruit, a few veggies, and other things that we thought were better for us than sweets and ice cream.

So, far, so good.

We did not have any visitors this weekend, so we knew it would be a quiet, inexpensive weekend compared to others.

We had a great adventure of Saturday which took us to Apple Holler in search of some freshly picked apples which we found there along with too many people and too much heat.  It was almost 90 today.

We found our apples and headed on.

We would not have gone to this apple place except that it was on the way to see John's folks at the veteran's cemetery in Union Grove.

We had not been there for quite awhile so it was good to pay the a visit.

Always a humbling experience to go to that cemetery and see all those markers for all those brave men and women who have fought for our freedoms.

The markers all stand in perfect rows just like the soldiers in the military.

After our visit there, we headed to Elkhorn to check out some of our old haunts.

Elkhorn will always hold such a special spot in our hearts.

We bought our first home there and we brought both our babies home to that house.

And we made many life long friends there before we moved back to Watertown.

We visited our first apartment, our first home, our church, and the downtown area.

It was a sweet trip home.

Then we stopped at Herb and Pearl's grave on the way home.

It needed some flowers so we decided to return on Sunday.

John grilled brat burgers for us.

We finished watching Under the Dome and called it a night.

Today, Sunday, after church, we headed to Herb's grave with  my mom and our bouquet of flowers.

After that we visited my dad, grandma, grandpa and Ohma, too.

It was a weekend of visiting our dead loved ones, I guess!

Lifetime movies filled the afternoon and the Packers play tonight so 

Go Pack Go!
