Catching up with Ed & Bunny in Waukesha, WI








We had the great good fortune to meet Ed & Bunny when we were at House Creek Campground in Colorado. We had so much fun together that we made plans to meet at Curicanti Reservoir near Black Canyon of the Gunnison National Park. It was the beginning of a friendship. On the way east we crossed paths with them again in East Texas of all places. We met for dinner on a night that was 11 degrees but we were warmed by the company. With such good times, how could we not stop by their place when we were going through Wisconsin? It took some planning as they were traveling too but on Labor Day we drove to Waukesha and Kettle Moraine State Park for a visit.

As soon as we were set up, we headed to their house and then on to their daughter, Adrienne's. She and her husband and two darling daughters welcomed us to a fabulous Labor Day cook out. They have a fantastic garden and we were treated to fresh tomatoes, beans, squash, and salsa all picked fresh. After filling up with great food we headed to Ed & Bunny's for a nice visit.

The next morning we met and headed to downtown Waukesha. The Fox River runs through town with a lovely walking trail with sculptures, gardens, waterfalls, and the peaceful course of the river. After a great two mile walk we stopped in town for lunch and then a decadent gelato dessert. That night we were having dinner at the campground for them, so we headed out to get ready. After another wonderful night of food and laughs, we said "so long" because we know that we will find each other again. Next time it will be in Washington, next August or September and it will be our turn to show them the area. One of the best parts of RV life is the people you meet. We were so lucky to meet Ed & Bunny.
