As the summer is starting to come to a close, we have been enjoying the outdoors quite a bit. As I already wrote, the Dragonboat racing at Lake Superior was a blast. I am uploading some pictures to the gallery today so you can see, check under the Dragon Boat Racing Album for more, but this one shows us racing, and we are not the last boat!

Racing in Superior


This past weekend we volunteered at the Chocolate Chase Ride, a fund raiser for TEAMSurvivor Madison. It was fun even though Scott had hurt his back earlier and was in some real pain. He still came along, the Trooper that he is. For more pictures of the ride, check out: http://trekstoremadison.com/page.cfm?PageID=388. There is also an article about the Chocolate chase in the Capitol Times if you want to learn more. http://www.madison.com/tct/news/stories/302834

On Sunday we went to the Taste of Madison which was held around Capitol Square. This is the same place they hold the Farmers Market for those of you who have been there. It was a lot of food and fun. The temperatures were a bit high, so finding shade to eat in was definitely a must.

Here is a picture that comes from the gallery with the article linked above for those of you who do not understand what “Capitol Square” looks like. You may want to check out the other 25 pics. I found some of them very interesting!

Well, this weekend will probably be a quiet one as Friday is Chemo day, but I will be damned if I let this thing slow me down too much! Hope all of you are enjoying the last few days of summer. Fall is soon approaching and although I love Fall, I will also miss summer. Take care all! - S&S
