Jim & Maria Cross Came Up To Visit


Jim and Maria drove up this weekend to visit. They got in Friday night so we just had time to sit around the house on our back 3 season room. It was still pretty pleasant out there. That room has heated up some now that the temps here are up around the 90s. Saturday morning we stopped by the farmers market. The strawberry season has started around here and the vegetables are becoming more varied. For the first time I was able to buy some shitake mushrooms there. I can't wait to cook those up. After picking up a couple of things we headed up to Bloomer for breakfast. We ate at the Bohemian Ovens, a restaurant that I heard had pretty breakfasts. I had some oatmeal pancakes for the first time. They were pretty good but such a different taste; one I wasn't expecting.

In the afternoon we took a walk along the Chippewa River on a bike/walking path that goes through town. The river was full of people drifting downstream on rafts, inner tubes and even inflatable beds.
