After our first trip to Montague for the summer we are headed back to Green Bay. While many head to the lakes for the Memorial Day week, we are headed home primarily because it is Jordan’s birthday. Ok, I also have doctor appointments but we aren’t going to make plans around that.
Kim celebrated her birthday yesterday. She’s in California with her parents after a quick trip to France. It will be fun to catch up with her when we have a moment to chat.
We spent a few nights on the boat “on the hard” before launching on 17 May. We’ve been on board since then getting things settled and getting ready for the season. Lots of cleaning and sorting and just getting ready.
We didn’t get to take the boat out; it seems there is something amiss with the hydraulic system. Justin is bummed.
It was good to catch up with some of our Maple Beach friends: Joel and Annie and their houseboat , Bill Orlowsky who will fabricate a new swim ladder for us, Joe and Deanna who promise to take us out and teach me to sail, Roger and Pat who have Princess who is 19 yrs old and still has all her teeth and several others. We spent a nice evening with Laura as she was finishing up some grand upgrades in the club house (we took mojitos).
We found a new restaurant in New Era, The Artisan. Suri has a good deal going; her sons David and Angel run the front and she does magic in the kitchen. I told Justin when we were walking in that I wanted something totally new and different than I’d ever had before. We had asparagus tamales, a chicken and asparagus quesadillas and a ham, cheese and asparagus salad that were all worth going back for again and again.
We tried to connect with Brian and Christina on the way back but they are traveling. Instead, we took advantage of the opening of Wayfair just outside of Chicago. I think it is there first ever brick and mortar storefront. It was huge; I think I’ll stick to their online presence.
