Lake Bound

Fun week, leading into a fun month. Matt was on vacation, although he had to work quite a bit this week for being off. We ended up heading to Chicago to visit friends. He dropped me off and then went to Milwaukee on business. I checked off something on my rejuvenation list while in Chicago--took a cooking class. It was one of the most amazing things I have done in a long time. It was SO MUCH FUN! There can be upwards of 20 people in the class. Emily and I somehow ended up having a PRIVATE class and we were so excited. Rick, the chef, was ours for the whole evening. We chopped, marinated, broiled, grilled....And came up with fresh lime margaritas, Fish tacos, steak tacos, pico de gallo, salsa verde, mango salsa, and grilled pineapple with ice cream for dessert. YUM! It was amazing fun and we are definitely going to go back and take our hubbies next time. I will have to post the recipes--fish tacos were my fav. There were fabulous and Emily and I could not stop eating them.

Matt and I have spent the last 24 hours cooking and packing for the lake. We are leaving for a month to spend it at a cottage we rented. It is right down the lane from Lake Gage. So, we can visit my parents, as well as many LG friends. We are ready to be there and to walk around the lake, swim, grill out, read books, have bonfires, and just be at the COTTAGE!

Not sure how much I will write for the next month, as I do not have internet access. I think some friends do, but not sure how much I will actually make the effort to use it. I will be home once a week or so, so will try to update my blog then.

Well, must go finish packing and relax a little before bedtime.
