Next, we drove to Holmen, WI and spent 4 nights so we could see our very good friends, and former neighbors, Rod and Louise Peterson. We went to dinner with them at the Freight House (I had FRESH CRAB) and also to Ardies for their Friday Night Fish. Both restaurants were as good as we remembered. Judy and I also went to Hunans for Chinese Food. Judy loves their Vegetable Egg Foo Young.
Rod and Lousie drove up to Holme, where we were staying so they could see our RV..
While we were at Rod and Louise's house, we looked over the fence at the backyard we created. It was pretty over-gown but the front yard was even worse. We both would have loved to have some pruning shears and some time to prune things back in our old yard.
The garden shed was added by the new owners. They have really let the landscaping and yard go...there wasn't a weed in the yard when Judy was in charge of the grass!
We planted all the trees in the yard except the 4 big Maple trees that were in place when we bought the house. I can't remember the name of this little tree but the Cedar Wax Wing birds would spend several days eating all the berries off it in the fall when they were passing through the area. It was always a treat to see them out there, enjoying the berries.
There were 2 big Maples in front and 2 in back when we bought the place. We put in the flower beds around the trees when we had the house. We were in the local paper for "Best Yard" once when we lived there. The Maples sure need pruned so you can see under them once again.

This is looking under the second Maple....they have let the lilac trees get out of hand and you can barely see down the side of the house. There WAS a really pretty little side garden that we planted in honor of Granny after she passed. She would have loved it!
We ran into our first toll road after we left WI. It was $2.80 for us to pass through it, on our way to Garden Prairie, IL which was our next stop. We just stayed one night and then moved on, with PA being our goal. Judy's sister, Sara, lives there.
