August 7th Tuesday
It was 55 this morning when I got up and let Herbie out. I even went walking around the yard. It rained last night so there was a fresh smell in the air.
I broke my new glasses this morning, I went to put them on and the arm broke. Off to town this morning early to get them replaced. It will be a week so I am back wearing old ones. Stopped at Menard's and then Wal-mart for a few items and then back home..
Concert in the park, what a great country rock band tonight.. north winds off of the lake made it a bit chilly...
August 8th Wednesday -- HAPPY BIRTHDAY HERBIE
Today is my Herbie's Birthday. He is now 7 years old.
We spent the day getting our belongings into the 5th wheel that we are going to take along. We had our dinner of BBQ beef rib. Herbie had some nice bones to chew on. Then had Ron, Eileen and Molly came down for cake and ice cream in celebration of Herbie's Birthday. Herbie was not ready to share his bones with Molly, but he didn't have much choice as Molly made sure she had one.
August 9th Thursday KEWAUNEE , WI
Up early and it is cool out.... Rain is in the forecast. As we were crossing over the Big Bridge in Green Bay, we seen that on the bay side the skies were very dark and raining hard and on our side of the bridge it was grey skies and cloudy.. NO rain..
Arrived at Kewaunee Campground around 1 PM.. It was a nice day, Alot of our HitchHiker friends were there and were happy to see us... We went to town for a few groceries and it was a Piggly Wiggly that we went to.. I have not been in one of those stores for many years. I will have to go back and take my time and walk through it..
We bought a rotisserie chicken and instant potatoes and cream corn for dinner. It was really good. Dan took Herbie for a walk and the rains came... We sat in and enjoyed the evening...
August 10th Friday KEWAUNEE, WI
We woke up and it was chilly out and 61 degrees . Dan made coffee and took Herbie out for his morning walk. I turned on the fireplace and grabbed a cup of hot coffee and got my blanket and computer and settled in my chair for a while... Later we visited with Hitchhikers and there was also some Heartland trailers and went and introduced myself and made conversation about Heartland and, the forum and the HOC (Heartland Owners Club). A couple of the owners haven't heard about the forum, and the Owners Club. I gave them information and they said that they most likely will join. Another one have been on the forum, and I told them about the Owners Club and The Rallies. I will be looking forward to seeing them at future Rallies.
Most of the HitchHikers went out for dinner tonight, and we chose to stay in and after we were done with dinner we went over to the fire it and watched Kadin, (Devoes Great Grandson) get the campfire going.. After everyone got back from dinner they came and joined in the circle. Isn't it amazing the campers and campfires bring everyone together.

It was just a bit to crowded for us to get out and walk around. We drove around the marina and there were no boats out fishing. We stopped at the Piggly Wiggly again so I could get a few items I needed for the pot luck tonight.
