Friday as I was heading home, I saw a sun dog in the clouds.
Check it out. Someone on MyFace said the cloud formation looks like an angel.
That evening Rich’s Japanese guests made dinner again. Saturday
I was supposed to play with my band at an orchard and then go to the Badgers
game, but I was feeling under the weather. Later in the afternoon I felt a
little better, so Travalon and I took our longest boat ride yet back into the
marsh with Rodney. We saw a lot of people out there, in kayaks and boats and
even on personal watercraft, so we weren’t too afraid of being all alone if the
engine should conk out. Which it didn’t, so it was a fantastic ride. Then
Travalon was a wonderful husband and stayed home to watch the game with me. It
was a blowout, so we were pulling for Hawaii to at least score some points, but
they never did. I don’t find games like that satisfying. I prefer close,
exciting games. Who needs to watch the Badgers beat up on teams that aren’t in
the Big Ten?
Yesterday our group went to a different place for brunch,
but we were disappointed to find out it is a chain and not a family-owned
restaurant. The food was very good. Then Travalon and I drove to Mineral Point
and walked around the town, stopping at the brewery for a summer shandy and
going to a store that sells all sorts of Celtic art and foreign food. Then we
drove to Governor Dodge State Park and explored the two lakes there, but it was
too late by then to rent a canoe. The good news is that they allow dogs in the
canoes there. The park is so beautiful; Travalon said he felt like he was up
north. Then we met Jilly Moose and Kathbert at Rich’s for some leftover
lasagna, and we all watched the lunar eclipse. A couple of Rich’s neighbors
joined us in watching the earth’s shadow getting cast over the full moon until
the moon appeared blood red. It was a “super moon” eclipse because the moon is
now at its closest point to the earth. These only happen once every three
decades or so. I hope all my readers got to go outside and check it out last
night!
