Relative Something

This was no regular trip to the lake, three convertibles and three couples in the bright sun and high heat of our summer days, mixing and matching at multiple stops along the way. We prolonged what normally takes 3 hours into an all afternoon affair with a stop for dinner after 7 p.m. in Hayward, so that we didn’t get up to the lake place till something like 7 hours had passed. Little did we know, the town is celebrating the 60th annual Musky Festival this weekend. We wandered briefly through the midway area to see the rides and the carnival games. It did feel festive.

We stopped in Hudson to see art and have a snack and drinks, then stopped again in Osceola for fried cheese curds and ice cream at the DQ. Paused in Barronett for more refreshments and discovered a risque arcade game at the bar and won a few dollars on pull-tabs. We made it to the Angry Minnow in Hayward for dinner. Guess what I had.

Fish!

It was Friday night in Wisconsin, what else would I choose? I think I only had to endure the birthday song one time in public. That’s not too much to suffer. It was a special day and I appreciate all of you who have shared your well wishes. It worked. I had a very happy day.
