Beautiful Summer Day…
June 28th, 2009 at 10:35pm
Today was a picture perfect day. Low humidities, plenty of sunshine. I took three kids shopping with me and we made our way through the maze of stores. They were all perfect angels and I am not exaggerating one little bit. It was an absolute pleasure to have them along with me. We stopped at the dairy farm to pick up our milk and they got a little bonus. The wife took them on a tour and they even got to see a calf that was a few hours old! It was very cool. This farm has 420 head of Jersey cows and they name them all! Can you imagine? I’d be looking to buy memory if I had to keep track of all that!
We came home, got naps for little people, grilled out, and went swimming at a friend’s pool after supper. Great summer day!

I miss our trips to the farm we went to for milk. It was a little more out of the way, a place near Rubicon called Back to the Best. Great place and Natalie LOVED the cows, we also saw one one time that looked like it had JUST been born! I mean, I think it was still attached to the mom! Fortunately, raw milk is very easy to come by here. Just go to the store. lol Some of the brands they have are raw which is definitely different. Yeah, raw milk is easy to come by but ibuprofen, that’s another story. Those you can only find in pharmacies. But you can get samples of wine at the grocery store just like you can any other sample. Definitely a different world here.
I’m really learning that the humidity in WI is NOTHING compared to here. We’re in the rainy season and even when it is cloudy and raining, it is warm because it is SO HUMID! Yuck. It’s doing a number on my hair and I really wish I had thought to stock up on coconut oil before I left the states. So yeah, the AC here is my best friend unfortunately, the stores aren’t as eager to kick down the thermostat in most places. So going out can also be tricky because not only is it usually warm and humid wherever we go but there also tends to be a ton of people! Crowds in stores like the US are NOTHING compared to how crowded they get here, it’s insane. And lately, just about everytime I’ve gone out, I’ve ended up with a nasty headache. Not fun.
And this isn’t even the worst of it. August is supposed to get really warm. I’m just hoping we’re still in this apartment and since John is off the first week of August, I’m really trying to figure out how we can maybe take a trip to Australia. It’s winter there!
