A Wonderful Weekend

 Downtown Ripon from their website ~ not my picture

My daughter and her hubby came to visit. They got here about mid-day Friday. They fell in love with Ripon's lovely downtown. The gorgeous architecture, the lights, the shops, all of it!

I think this is a patio for the hotel

  On Saturday we took them to Green Lake and stopped by the Conservancy for a short walk. Then we headed to Princeton to the antique stores. We also stopped by an art studio where they teach glass blowing and pottery making! It's too far away for me plus I can't drive at night even if I had transportation at that time. 

 After that we went to Montello, took some pictures by the old quarry (now a lake) and went downtown for a while. Then we went back to Ripon for dinner and then spent some time playing pool. I tried to play, even though I never knew how. My daughter wins almost all the games. It was a glorious day, sunny and in the 70's!  Sunday it turned cold and windy. We sat around and talked because they had to leave early. We had an absolutely wonderful time!
