The kids' official last day of school was Friday. Kate & I went out to sort some things with Ducky, so were there when they got home!
We also enjoyed a campfire and s'mores… I like Davy's "marshmallow baton," and chimney sweep look! It's going to be a fun summer!
On Saturday, we drove down to Sheboygan Falls for an estate sale that almost seemed to good to be true… and it was. There were a couple of red flags in the description but ya never know, so we took a chance. The whole place should have been donated to the local fire department for practice. BUT, we traveled a bunch of roads and saw lots of stuff that we've never seen before. We have seen the sign for JOHNSONVILLE before, but never made the turn… until Saturday. Oh my goodness, what a surprise to drive up & see BRAT, a sculpture by Robert Indiana (though amid some controversy). We were a bit overwhelmed in the Johnsonville Marketplace — so much merchandise (all impeccable quality) — but we did bring home some summer sausage, fresh bratwurst for supper (Johnsonville is hands-down my preferred sausage), along with Sheboygan brat buns from Norman's Hi-Lo Bakery (amazing), and beer… and a beer koozie. We're all about the koozies lately. Potosi Brewery, on the other side of the state, brews some beer exclusively for Johnsonville.
There's a ton more going on around here and I'll try to get back ASAP. Tonight, I'm racing home (so to speak) to pick up Kate, then stopping by to grab Ali, and we're making our way to Hamilton Wood Type & Printing Museum for a book-making workshop!

Those smiles, marshmallows, brats, and beer look like the beginning of a great summer! Enjoy!
A book making workshop sounds like great fun! Looks like Davy is going to be as much of a ham as the other kids – all great and I bet you have a wonderful summer. FUN, FUN, FUN!!!
I just LOLed at the photo of Davy — that kid is fully living his life! Can’t wait to see what you, the girls, and all the kiddos have fun doing this summer!
I buy Johnsonville Brats here in Massachusetts, I’m pleased to know they are Vicki approved! Can’t wait to hear more about the book making workshop!
Oh! Davy’s “chimney sweep look”! So very dear. (I remember my own kids’ “chimney sweep” days at the campfire. I don’t think they were EVER clean – even after baths – in those early days at our up north place. . . ) I think you are going to have an exciting summer, Vicki! (And I’m here for it!!!) XO
We love Johnsonville here in Georgia, too! Gosh all your people look so happy … I hope you’re finding a few moments to pause, breathe, and simply ENJOY it all! (Happy June!)
