Another crazy weekend went by in a flurry of activity!
Saturday John and I went searching for a new set of couches~the perfect ones for us were found right here in Winona ~pics coming after delivery!
He did surprise me with these....
I love them and him!!!!
Here's some nice Autumn pics from our yard
love those milkweed seeds!

Well we finally carved a little time out to let Grandpa Bob lead us
up to the cave of Galesville legend ~Decorah Peak
The hike itself was John's usual cardioworkout
but the actual peak was AMAZING!
We had to actually crawl through a cave UPWARDS like a chimney
a very narrow very vertical chimney
guarded by 100's of hornets
to emerge on the peak
EXTREME HIKING!!!!
the begnning
not the real cave, Fionn
here it is....
pretty sure I can't make it
really, I'm good right here...
impossibly narrow and vertical
Tatatada!!! I did it!
It was worth it!
John helping Grandpa down
tight fit
Grandpa hadn't been up here since he was 10!
heading back down

| remember those hornets? ya, me, too! |
level ground!
on account of the hornets, the kiddos were not able to go into the cave
better safe than sorry...my sting STILL hurts!
Then we swung into that great book store in La Crosse
Pearl Street Book Store
the kids were impressed by the floor to ceiling
rows and rows and rows of books!
New and used...I want to LIVE here!
Even made time to make a couple of
Pinterest items:
I made pumpkins from scrapbook paper, too
Forgot to take pics,,,
We also canned 6 pints of Grape Jelly...mmmmm...summertime in a jar!
