And then dinner in Oconomowoc.

Whitewater house is an older house with the old-fashioned kind of screens and storms that need to be changed with the seasons. Quite a bit of work, which is why we do only about a third of the windows. Work, yes, but also a ritual, so not entirely unpleasant. With the screens down and the storms up the house feels snugged and prepped for what's to come. Assuming something's coming.

Later, good fun and a good dinner at Victoria Lane. All of these girls like ham. One is deeply devoted to mashed potatoes. Another crazy about cranberries. A third all about blueberries.
