A Fantastic Birthday Dinner!

We have some dear friends who try and celebrate my Birthday with us every year who came over today and we all went to a favorite special place – The White Stag. Their specialty is smoked pork chops with a seasoned cherry sauce, soooo good. Everyone else had steak which is all cooked on an open fire pit. It was a fantastic dinner with great friends!

A Great Flea Market

A great Monday tradition in the summer is the St. Germain Flea Market.  There is something for everyone there, antiques, crafts, food and even the sock lady! Everyone in the resort was there last Monday and came home with many treasures.

The Windmill Ice Cream Shoppe!

We ended Mother’s Day with a trip to a long time favorite Ice Cream Shoppe.  If on the way up you take hwy 8 west to Hwy L (which is the old hwy 51 that we took up here for years) and go north a bit you will see the Windmill Ice Cream Shoppe. There to greet you are 3 charming girls Cassi, Annie and Beth and some of the best ice anywhere.  It is a very unique place and once you are finished it is a short ride north on L back to Hwy 51.  Definitely worth the stop. Thanks Girls!!!

Divano Lounge

We have a very fun new place in town called Divano’s, a Wine (Beer & Martini) & Hor d’oeuvre Bar. It is on the upper level of the Minocqua Brewery Building right down town. It has been completely remodeled and is beautiful inside.

Two Friends and I had a very delightful time there tonight:

A New Coffee House!

In the Trigs Mall the video store is gone! In its place is the Floral Store that moved out of the grocery store and a Coffee Bar! I was hearing so many good things about it I had to check it out.  It is a wonderful spot, pretty with flowers and gifts and a wonderful coffee bar.

And they even added a great place to relax.
