Wow! What a week it has been!! I always think I'm going to have so much downtime in the mornings before we go in the music festival, but that just never seems to happen as I plan. At Summerfest in Milwaukee, my husband Dan plays twice a day every day for the 11 day music festival! It is quite a long two weeks, but such an overall great time. We are blessed to stay in paradise with some friends at their lakehouse. It's lovely to have quite mornings before the chaos of the afternoon hits. Once on the Summerfest grounds we are busy playing music, selling CDs, and chatting with fans. It's a full, but great time. The only downside to this year's festival so far has been the weather. The Summerfest grounds are right on Lake Michigan and it has been so chilly down there! With high in the 60's and 70's and cold breezes off the cold lake it has hardly felt like the middle of summer--even for the midwest! This weekend is looking a little warmer, though, and so I'm looking forward to that.

One more full weekend here and then we'll be heading home to our little homestead...I must admit, I'm missing my garden, chickens, and especially my kitty buddy. Oh, home, I miss you.
