• My Vacation to Wisconsin
-v A crisp, cool, clear morning awaited us
Monday, June 18. When I awok'c'at 5:30,
it looked as though itcould have been 8:30
with the beautiful sunrise across Lake
Ellen. Glenn, Traci and I enjoyed a brisk
two-mile walk.
Gusty winds began to blow at noon and
everyone donned sweaters to go to She-
boygan. Another tour of the surrounding
area was given Glenn and me by Traci.
We s?w the farm owned by her grandpar-
ents, the Wilfords, before they sold and
moved to Florida to make their home. It
has a very large, two-story house and
many barns and other outside buildings.
A pleasant surprise awaited us as we
arrived back at the cottage. Traci's
mother, Bonnie, and her friend had ar-
rived from Florida. It was my first meet-
ing with Bonnie, one 1 had been looking
forward to for some time.
The setting of the sun found Traci and
Glenn paddling their way around the lake
in the paddleboat.
Beautiful and clear was a good descrip-
tion of Tuesday morning as I went for my
walk. Florence and I were going to West
Bend, but first of all, we stopped by
Cascade's bowling alley to meet six of
Florence's friends who were enjoying a
morning of strikes and spars.
Since it was Kathleen's birthday today,
we stopped to wish her greetings on her
special day. Then, it was on to the Outlet
Mall in West Bend where there are nu-
merous specialty shops, all factory outlets
with very reasonable merchandise.
Because my maiden name was Stein, I
couldn't help but wonder if the owner of
Stein's Flowers and Gifts, where we
browsed, was a distant relative.
Meanwhile, Glenn and Traci golfed at
Cyrstal Lake Golf Course.
Their first wedding anniversary was
Wednesday, June 20, so they made prepa-
rations to stay at The American Club.
My time was spent reading at the lake-
side that evening. I had about 200 more
pages to read in the book, "How to Stop
Worrying and Start Living," which Traci
had given me when we left home.
The anniversary couple returned home
about noon the next day and Bonnie and
Terri came for a visit that afternoon.
After supper, Glenn, Traci and 1 went
bowling. After a 20-year absence from the
bowling scene, I managed to get one strike
in three games. Wow, talk about burning
up the lanes! This evening of fun caused
me to be very sore for several days.
Friday could have been a lost day be-
cause it rained, rained, rained, but we went
to Sheboygan to shop. They had craft dis-
plays throughout the center of the mall and
1 enjoyed looking.
Glenn's birthday was Saturday, June
23. It was a quiet day and family members
came by to bring gifts and to visit.
One could not ask for a more perfect
day than Sunday, June 24, in Cascade.
With its beautiful, cool, sunshiny
weather, it was an ideal day for the back-
yard brat fry at Florence's house. She had
invited her children and their families.
Edwin and Wes were chefs for the day.
At the picnic, the center of attention
was Florence's only great-grandchild,
Bcnji. This charmer is the grandson of
Dick and Kathleen Ringle, son of Tim and
Brenda and brother of David. All were
present at the get-together, along with
Edwin and Kathy Siech and son Danny;
Dickie Siech and son Paulic; Mark
Ringle; Terri Siech and friend Goldie;
Wesley Siech; Bonnie Siech and friend
Bryce; Glenn, Traci and me.
After the feast, some of the Siech sib-
lings and their spouses settled down for a
serious afternoon of Sheephead, taking
time out for an occasional beer or two.
They also sampled the Lone Star 1 had
brought from Texas. Meanwhile,
Florence was preparing me for initiation
into the Monday Night Card Club by
teaching me to play Spite Malice. Glenn
and Traci completed the foursome.
Deciding we needed theexercisc, Kath-
leen, Glenn, Traci and I went for a walk
around the lake area. As we rounded the
last turn coming back, we hurried home to
take a phone call from Glenn's daughter
Kris who was calling from Margate, Fla.
An early morning walk got Monday off
to a good start. Then I spent some time
jotting down vacation notes.
1 also learned fromiJea'&nd Bob Stone-
man that their daughter-in-law, Judy is a
sister to Karen Moos who lives in Hondo
with her hisband Richard. When I got
home, I checked with my friend Rita
Moos, and she said they were relatives. It
goes to show you, it’s a small world.
That night I played cards with Bea
Stoneman, Florence and Hazel Wegner at
Hazel's home at the lake's edge. I learned
two new card games, "Court” Whist and a
form of Rummy. Although I wasn't too
much of a winner, I enjoyed every minute.
At 6 a.m. the following day, Glenn and
Traci were off to Chicago to see the Chi-
cago Cubs-Montrcal Expos game at the
"friendly confines of Wriglcy Field". The
game was highlighted by homeruns by
Montreal's Jerry Goff, a rookie who
pinch-hitted in the top of the 9th. It was his
first major league homer.
Florence and I spent the morning at
Country Crafts Bam, truly a pleasant spot
to get away from it all. The craft bam was
built in 1885 and remodeled in 1974. It's
location in the Kettle Moraine country
provides a spectacular view of the rolling
hills and surrounding scenery. The big red
bam houses a variety of shops offering
traditional, unusual, handmade and coun-
try crafts of every kind imaginable.
Taking a back road, one not famil iar to
me in the 2 1/2 weeks 1 had been here, we
traveled to town to tour the Sheboygan
County Historical Society Museum
Complex. It is situated on a hill overlook-
ing the Sheboygan River Valley.
We walked through the David Taylor
house, builton the original site in the early
50's. Here, there is a rich collection of
artifacts which give different views of
history from year-to-year.
The Weinhold log cabin of 1864 clearly
illustrates the early German living experi-
ence. Also of German heritage, the
Schuchardt bam highlights Sheboygan
County's rich agricultural history.
The newest addition, The Bodenstab
Cheese Factory emphasizes the impor-
tance of the dairy industry in the county.

Next, we visited Florence's friend,
Alice, and I had the opportunity to meet
Alice's sisters, Mariam and Audrey. The
three were engaged in a game of cards.
After supper, I went to our cottage and
settled down to read and to write my
vacation story at lakeside. I hoped to have
all the information ready for my column
by the time I returned home. (To be con-
tinued.)
Rihn Reunion
The 4 th Annual Reunion of the descen-
dants of Frank and Hilda Rihn was held
Saturday, July 21, at Rihn's Countryside
Saloon near Devine. The usual site of the
event is Rusty Rihn's Place, but due to wet
grounds, it was decided to hold the gath-
ering at Countryside.
There were lots of activities for both
youngsters arid adults, including croquet,
washers, volleyball, fish pond, bean toss,
egg on a spoon, horseshoes and judging
by the loud noise, a very exciting three-
legged race. ; .<>'
Alfred Rihn, who is a young 94, was
recognized as being around the most
number of years. Wesley Dalton Rihn, 5-
wcek-old son of Mr. and Mrs. Frank Rihn
III, was the youngest.
Also creating a lot of interest was the
bunco party. Adult winners were: John
Billings, most buncos; Anna Mae
Mummc, most games; Melissa Gardner,
consolation; and Annette Billings, booby.
In the children's categroy the following
were winners: Amber Godden, most
buncos; Richard Bailetz and Katie Wat-
son, most games; Karlton Billings, conso-
lation; and Sabrina Billings, booby.
Many framed pictures and numerous
photo albuns were on display for family
members to reminisce through. A lovely
quilt, designed and handquilted by Lorine
Rihn was another interesting exhibit.
Before the evening meal, a circle was
formed with everyone holding hands
while Roger Mumme said a prayer thank-
ing God for making this memorable day
possible.
Chefs for the day, Frank Mumme,
Tommy R'ihn and Jerry Billings gutdid
themselves preparing barbecued beef,
Sausage and chicken. Each family
brought a covered ’' "h to complement the
meat, and there wa., no shortage of des-
serts.
There was li'.lle doubt in anyone's mind
who the adult winner of the funky shorts
contest would be. It had to be Emil (Mule)
Mumme who raised a lot of eyebrows
with his attire. Young winners were Gram
Gardner and Richard Bailetz, 1st and 2nd,
respectively. Each received a stuffed
shorLs pillow.
Those who organized this year's suc-
cessful get-together were Valerie
Mumme, Denise Watson, Judy Bailetz'
and Sidney Arlene "Sissy" Skinner.
Russell and Doris Jungman traveled to
Austin last weekend for a visit with their

feeling much better,jbut is still having to
take things easy after her recent surgery.
Customers of the The Sitting Duck Res-
taurant in Rio Medina will be happy to see
her "taking orders" when her convales-
cence is over.
After 14 years of employment with the
City of Castroville, Bobbie Fischer has
decided it's time to spend more time with
husband, Charles, and her family, and
possibly get around to enjoying those
hobbies she never had time for before.
Bobbie began working for the city in
January, 1976, and served as city secre-
tary since 1979. She said she loved her
work and will miss the people she worked
with. Here's wishing her the best of luck
during the coming years. Have fun, Bob-
bie!

Mexican supper at the home of Mary
Griggs in Alexandria, Virginia.
Charles Halty was to bring his famous
LaCoste parisa and enchiladas, while

is really nice to have homefolks around to
visit with. Charles also resides in Alexan-
dria.
Mrs. David (Carolyn) Bippert of Cas-
troville received a kidney transplant the
past week and is doing very well. She
underwent surgery at Humana Hospital in
San Antonio. Carolyn has been on dialysis
for the past 18 years. She received a trans-
plant about 10 years ago, but her body
rejected it. I join friends in praying that
Carolyn will be able to enjoy good health
in the future.
