Jane, you had such a lovely weekend on the lake. We too have to constantly defend our plants from critters. I love chicken salad and make it often. Have a great week! xoxo, olive

Hi Blondie,
Such a lovely spot there and how lovely to share with good friends.
I have made some really good blogging friends and because we have so much in common it is so hard to stop chatting when we get together!! We could go on for hours. I guess we inspire each other:)

Have a wonderful day.

It sounds like you had a great time, Jane! I always like to read about bloggers connecting in real life and becoming friends. It just proves that something virtual can become a "real" friendship.

Hi Jane,
That sounds like a lot of fun. I think the garden center sounds like the best part, and of course, looking over your garden and the chicken salad too. I go on a chicken salad kick every summer too, think it's the warm weather!

I can tell from your wording what a lovely time you had, how nice you've been able to visit with one another a few times.

Mmmm... corn on the cob, that sounds good too!

What a great weekend. Blog world is a marvel.
Love the colour of your summer house and the vegie patch next to it. Pesky rabbits! Yes the baby pepper is gorgeous. We call them capsicums in Oz.

Jane, that is such a wonderful thing, friendship, no matter how it comes along! My grandmother told me that she was warned about the kids in the neighboring town... how they would not be nice and you didn't know anything about their bringing up. She would be appalled at my internet friendships! I think I am just very very lucky!

Hi Jane, It is so much fun to get away from the city go boating. You wouldn't do much boating in our area at the present time with all of the flooding. Part of our city has flood water where they closed streets. According to the news they open one of the high schools as a red cross shelter. We had heavy rain last night and early this morning. When is it going to end, a very good question. Your boad ride looked so inviting. Have a great week. We are going to our daughters for the 4th of July. Take care Your Missouri Friend.

Jane- I am so glad that you and Cindy had fun! I can tell that you are comfortable together-like old friends! I used to go through Black River Falls sometimes when visiting my daughter when she went to UW EauClaire. It is such a small world, isn't it? Your little garden area looks pretty good -especially considering you are there only part time. I am working the next 6 days in a row-right through the 4th of July. Only bad part about working in a hospital...there is never an off day~ xo Diana

How fun that you have become such wonderful friends and it all started through blogging. It looks like you had a great time. I have just started blog hopping, but feel as though I am getting to know a few of them. Darn those bunnies. They're too cute to get too mad. Hope your garden flourishes!

Hi, Blondie, so glad you had such a great time. Your lake house and the lake must be a perfect spot for company. I know they enjoyed it very much.
Now, that is one cute little green pepper. I do hope the rabbits find something else to eat other than your cute little garden. :)
Congrats to the winner of the gift card...a very generous gift, indeed.

I told Cindy that I would have loved being there with the two of you...you both are such sweeties!!! Loved getting to see all of your photos! Thanks so much for sharing them with us! Girlfriend, I LOVE...LOVE your kitchen at the lakehouse! It's fabulous!!! You have such a beautiful home there...and how much fun...to live right on the lake! The boating and wave runners look fun! Did you and Cindy take the wave runners out? Just seen pics of the guys. I also enjoyed seeing more photos of your sweet guest cottage...ohhh my gosh...it's simply divine, Girlfriend! What a talented designer you are!!!

Well my dear, I really enjoyed hearing about ya'lls weekend...thanks again for sharing it with all of us!

Sounds like you had a great visit, Jane! Fun looking photos!
I sure wish we'd had your hubby's help routing us through & around Chicago two years ago. The stupid GPS took us right through downtown at quitting time on a Friday night. OMGosh, I though I was going to DIE, waiting to get out of traffic & find a restroom. NEVER AGAIN!

Did you ever find out what your basket was for? I'll have to go back & read the comments to see if the mystery was solved.

Have a nice 4th of July holiday, Hon,

HI!!
I am new here, but Cindy at Applestone is just such a doll that I had to POP over and meet you!!!!
My family live in the Chicago area. I have been to Galana once and fell in love with that charming river town!!I love U.S. History so I was sad we arrived to late to tour Grant's home there. I hope one day to get back there. Your Lake House is LOVELY!!You were great hosts to Cindy and Dan. I live in AZ, so luckily I get to see Cindy a couple times a year. You should come to warm AZ with her some time, like in Jan-Feb-March!!!DO not come now, it is brutally HOT!!!
Well so nice to chat with you, I will pop in more often now!!!Friends of mine are my friends!!!
