July 11, 2011

This was a busy week in the Rogerson household. Rachel had her first "job" of the summer, babysitting three days last week. She had lots of fun with the two little girls she babysat.

On Tuesday, Jack and Abby went with me to Madison to Poppy's agility class. They got lots of chuckles watching the dogs run the course. "Scooter" is another Portie who is a tunnel magnet, he sees a tunnel, he runs for it no matter what his owner says. Then there is "Lucy", the rat terrier, who leaps over the jumps in a single bound. "Blue" is the Aussie who is probably the smartest dog in the bunch. And then there's Poppy....the only dog that can consistently complete the weave poles the first time. It was Poppy's final class before her first trial this week.

Thursday afternoon Jack and I left for Lake Geneva as Jack had a golf tournament on Friday morning. We played a practice round that afternoon. The tournament was held at Hawk's View, the Barn Hallow course, which is an 18 hole, par 3 course. It was a beautiful course, here is the picture of the barn I am assuming the course was named after.




Jack played great. He shot a 68 and the winning score was 59 (par is 54.) There were 3 scores better than Jack but because of ties, he ended up 7th out of 20 boys. Not bad but of course, he expects to win!! He's just a little competitive.




Thursday Rachel went with some of her friends to the Katy Perry concert in Milwaukee at Summerfest. She had a long day, left at 11:30 a.m. and arrived home at 2:00 a.m. They had a great time. Apparently Katy Perry didn't have such a great time in WI, the next day she woke up with a bad case of food poisoning and had to cancel three shows (elsewhere.) Must have had a bad brat!!

Saturday morning Tony went to an Indian wedding in the Chicago suburbs. The daughter of an anesthesiologist at the clinic got married. Indian weddings are huge affairs, lasting all weekend. We were going to go for the weekend but those plans were changed when Tony had a full surgery schedule on Friday and he thought he better not be gone in case someone had a complication. Instead, he got up early Saturday morning and went solo as I had been gone the past two days and just wasn't up for getting up at 6 am to make the 10 am wedding (I know, I'm lame.) Weddings are probably the single most important religious event in the Hindu religion, as illustrated in the photos. The bride was stunning, I wish I could have seen her in person. The ceremony lasted a mere three hours!

Here is the wedding stage:
