September 5

We are sitting in the car-ferry terminal in Milwaukee waiting for our 7:00 cruise to Muskegon (2.5 hour trip).

Woke up this morning to hear the very sad news that Russ, husband of my friend Anita died of pancreatic cancer after just a 2-month diagnosis.   Our hearts and prayers go out to her....

Had a good chat with my Dad and also the nurse.

After visiting with Mark's parents and sisters at the hotel, we packed up and left for Racine.   So good to be back as we have many happy memories of our 11 years of boating here.    We stopped at Borzynski's (a favorite shop) and browsed around - sooo awesome with all the gourmet foods, fresh veggies/fruit, and fall decor galore!   It is wonderful!

Vistited with 3 long-time couples on E-12 where we docked Catrina all those years - lots of catching up.

Laura, Pat, Carol with Molly and Cathy
Ken, Mark, Bill and Bob

Met Paul and Kathy (we had both been to Chicago weddings yesterday) at the Yardarm and had a really good lunch and visit.    They went to their boat and we stopped at a few more spots,including Milaeger's (another favorite) - oh, great, fun, pretty stuff including all the Christmas!!!

And now...waiting for the ferry to take us back to Catrina!
