This a picture of the three cottages at

Max's Resort. We stayed in the one on the left, which is the

largest of the three. It was very cute, comfortable and clean. We

really enjoyed the amazing view of the lake from our window!

We sure enjoyed the boat ride they treated us to around the lake.

We were surprised how big the lake actually is and had fun

taking in all of the interesting sights!

You can tell from this picture that Helmut really enjoyed

visiting and get better acquainted with our wonderful

"Wisconsin Sisters". They really treated us like royalty

the whole time we stayed there.

On Sunday we went to church hoping so see someone

Helmut would recognize from his mission 41 years ago.

That didn't happen, but everyone was so friendly and

sure tried to remember who he was......so funny...........

he may look a bit different than he did in 1968! Ya think?!

This is the building the ward met in when Helmut was

serving in Eau Claire as a missionary. Since then they

sold it to another church and have built a much larger church.

Time marches on............

This is my favorite picture from the trip.

None of the homes my dad lived in as a child in

West Allis were still there and everything had

changed. But, this a corner that he stood on

to sell newspapers back then and the same

building is still standing there. It was a

"hamburger joint" back when..........we were

so excited to find an original building that I

didn't even notice what it is now!
