Papa reporting from USA
This morning I wake up very early in the morning in Chicago: Heavy Rainshowers and Thunder.
After a Shower and Breakfast around 7 am, and some mailchecking etc on Internet, I left the Hotel at 9:15 AM.
In spite of several Road Contstruction Areas, the trafic circulated surprisingly well.
Bikers along Interstate 94
First stop was at the Michigan Wellcome Centre at I-94. Had a fruit lunch in the Beautiful Picnic Area.
My Map was a bit bad, so I did some rounds in the Area, just to be known, of course. *giggles*.
Papa and Mats went shopping
Have you heard something similar before?
What did Papa buy?
Yezz - a Nikon D60 - Photo taken with my Pentax Optio (Water- and Dustproof)
Mats had to buy Food (my regular readers do know that's my job too, when at home) - and a Pillow for me. Plus a Night Lamp for my readings.
We went back home and made my camera ready for use. Below is some flower examples:
Then Lori called, and said: We need a new Hedge Trimmer. Here it is.
Took some more pictures with my new Camera.
These are Chorall Cactuses
Papa makes Dinner
First Aspargus with genuine Butter
Then Cauliflower, Broccoli, Special Saucisses, fresh pepper and tomatoes, French Bread
Rasberries, Bananas and Premium Home made Vanilla Icecream
PS. Lori got a Book from me: Norwegian Cooking
More to come....

Then we went back shopping. I had promised Mats and Lori BD presents to their new Garden.
They have a pretty big platform, that needs some big plants.
We found some Palms, but they were too big for the Dodge Charger to bring Home.
