Twisted Sisters 2008

There are 9 children in Dave's mom's family. Of that, 6 are girls. Every year for many, many years the girls all get together at a place sponsored by one of them, either up in northern Wisconsin (as most of the family lives either in Menomonee, in Janesville, or Oconomowoc) or down here. This year it was in Oconomowoc. Kim sponsored it and made all the arrangements. She did a fantastic job. Friday night we all met for fish fry and Fiddler on the Roof at the Kettle Moraine High school. Saturday morning we all met and drove down to Genesee Depot for the Ten Chimney's Estate. You can take full tours of the estate which are about 2 hours long and go throughout the 60 acre estate.

It is the estate of Alfred Lund and Lynn Fontanne.
This is the sitting room of the ladies room!!!
You can go backstage of a real stage. There are props, clothes, lights. It is so beautiful.
More of the bathroom. It was our favorite room. The phone actually works and is available for local calls!

Walking to the parking lot is beautiful.
They have a wonderful gift shop. This feathery hat was my favorite thing there! Only a tiny bit over a hundred dollars!



In between we drove down to the Elegant Farmer for a train ride to East Troy and lots of good food. I brought home apple pie!

Back to Duane and Kim's. Here is a table of desserts.... Thanks Auntie Esther! Roxie made her lovely triffle again!
Mom had a happy visitor!
Thanks Duane for cooking a fabulous dinner.Kim and Honey.
Eleanore, Margaret, Esther, Jean and Missy. Missy was a great help for Mom with Dad not here. She got her up all those stairs at the train depot.
