October 28, 2018 - Sunday evening
46 degrees/drizzle/rain/windy
Milwaukee, Wisconsin
Once again I'm writing tonight as tomorrow will start bright and early. I can't complain. We're housed in a beautiful suite and living the good life.
We were sad to say goodbye to our friends, Meag and Ben, this morning.
There are people that occasionally enter our lives who make us feel better for knowing them.
That would describe Meag and Ben.
Sargie and I have already officially adopted them and though saddened to see them leave, we were happy when they mentioned they'd be back in the spring on their way home to New Hampshire.
Sending jars of jam, maple syrup, pumpkins and squash, Sargie and I didn't want our young guests to go hungry on their long journey south.
Moose wasn't too keen on the idea of leaving. We'd had a good time with the pup playing fetch and chasing him around the back meadow. I think ol' Moosie would have been puppy happy to have gone back in the house and curled up in front of the wood stove.
No amount of coaxing and baby talk could motivate him to board the bus. Finally, with a tug of the leash and the promise of jerky, the unhappy canine walked up the steps.
It was tough seeing the door close and the big blue bus rumble down Pentoga Road.
Oh well, as I said, they'll be back in a few months. Meanwhile, we'll exchange texts and emails and of course, follow their adventures on their blog, thewilddrive.com.
It was almost noon before Sargie and I left for Milwaukee by way of Green Bay. After a quick stop in Title Town, we arrived in Milwaukee early in the evening.
After checking into the hotel, we set off to find where our Monday morning meeting would be then to do a bit of shopping.

| Sargie never found a Big Lots that she didn't like |

| Packer fans abound, even in Milwaukee |
A man's work is never done.
So are the tales from Pentoga Road...
