On to Oconomowoc

We got an earlyish start this morning (departing Friendship) to have time for a stop in Madison for a brief visit with bro Steve W. and his S.O. Kay D.  (if that designation is OK with all concerned).  We intend to return to Madison for a longer visit.
   On the way to Ocon. we stopped to see the Forevertron.  The World's Largest scrap metal sculpture.  The Forevertron is  just south of Baraboo (with it's circus museum -- World Famousest)  and across the road from a munitions factory.  The munitions factory is handily located to wipe out the Forevertron and the Circus Museum should either one become too obstreperous.
   We also drove through Waunakee -- The Only Waunakee In The World -- It's also the best Waunakee in the world. 
   Just before we left the Forevertron, D. called Steve to warn him we were coming.  (They like each other -- even though Steve has retired -- so it was a safe call) And Steve asked us to stop at Ski-Hi (which seems to have nothing to do with skiing, snow, or anything else wintery) and pick up a couple sacks of apples.   We also bought a sack for ourselves (cortland) and an apple pie. 
    Visiting and seeing the new kitchen in S & K's house.  We were going to go to the Toilet Paper Museum but alas, it closed a couple of years ago.  Then on to Ocon. and the seniorer W's.  DA 

Back home in Dairyland.  Driving through the rolling hills of south central Wisconsin, it was a post card - farms, silos, corn fields, red barns i.e. very picturesque.  Enough to make one forget about the frigid winters and humid summers.  It has been beautiful fall weather the past four days and everyone here is enjoying it after the heat of the summer.  Family visiting time for the next couple of days and nothing "weird" on the schedule unless Dennis finds something on-line.  dw
