Never even heard of Graeters brand! Must be a regional ice cream! I will look for it when I'm on my road trip!

You'll never find me making Jello! Flavored, congealed boiled hooves...

The best!! My dad's side is from Cincinnati, home of Graeters. My dad likes Raspberry Chocolate Chip, but Claudia and my favorite is their peppermint stick available only at Christmas. Heaven, filled with melty peppermint stick chunks.
I've been to Baraboo and ditto the recommendation. Cool place. Seem to
remember the town being very walkable with lots of shops (artisan and vintage stuff and circus themed art and memorabilia. Open door and come on in kind of places.
Greetings all
It was foggy this morning but sunny now. A stiff wind- I could really feel it on the highway even though my electric car is bottom heavy. I went to the studio for awhile and made a few things. One of our staff has ideas for redoing the front of our building which has shelves and shelves of pottery for sale. It does kind of look like a giant thrift store and could be improved. A perennial issue is finding price tags that don't fade or fall off since the stuff sits outside all the time. Guess I will consult the facebook studio owners page for ideas.
Lunch today is some cold roast beef from the deli. It's particularly tender this time and much appreciated. Dinner will be deli enchiladas .
Yep. the bus leaves at 9. Or the train. No one ever says "plane". My mom used to always say "the maid quit:. And my dad used to say "things are tough all over" in response to whining.
Yay Peps you get to stay in Yellowstone!! My advice to you is to allow plenty of time there because it is huge and wondrous and takes lots of time to see all the good stuff. My favorite is the paint pots. Probably too far out of the way but the Badlands in south Dakota are awesome. Ditto the Flaming Gorge in western Wyoming near Rock Springs.
CC chicken salad sounds good. And yay on you for not bringing a Jello!
DD porch swing! How wonderful. I remember one my grandparents had and thinking it was no good as a swing because it could not go very high. Now we all get it. A joy.
Congrats on the fast house sale Liz. A big step for you but important.

I have never visited the Laura Ingalls Wider sights. A domestic saint makes no miracles. People speak highly of the one in Minnesota though ( Walnut Grove?) Austin Minnesota has the Spam Museum (Hormel headquarters). Probably not dog friendly. Southern Minnesota by the Mississippi River is very picturesque, but its very flat and Iowa like once you move away from the riverbluffs. Might be too far North from your route, but Baraboo Wisconsin has a Circus Museum (Ringling Brothers Origin) that is very cool. Don't know if outside exhibits allow dog visitors.
Here is a cool State Park close to the WI/MN border. I have not been there for 30 or so years but remember it being so beautiful with great hiking. Not sure if you actually camp in your camper, but is so, they have a camp ground!

Me too! Love ice cream! Have you ever had Graeters brand? To die for. Their toffee chip is my favorite!
