Friends & Family
Lake Geneva - 08/14/2009
God writes the gospel not in the Bible alone, but on trees and flowers and clouds and stars. ~Martin Luther
What I loved about Lake Geneva:
- - Spending the afternoon with my brother
- - the beach
- - the vintage bookstore that I made Bryan go in
- - the walking path by the lake
- - Parking...and watching Bryan get nervous because of the vintage car behind us. (Maybe it was because I told him I was going to SLAM on the gas so "Relax your neck!" And then laughing HYSTERICALLY!!!!)
- - Caribou Coffee
- - driving home and getting "lost"
Something chilly
A little something FABULOUS for our fun outting to Lake Geneva, WI
The Coffee Club
Gloria, Jackson, Angie, Kristin, Patti, Leah, and Lauren

- I enjoy putt-putt!
- Male and female Blue Jays look the same. (Thank you, Aaron!!!)
- Charlie Brown's father was a barber.
- The National Animal of Canada is the beaver.
- Bitumonous Concrete is really asphalt.
