Door County Skies
Was in Door Co. this weekend, stimulating the local economy with Billy and her neighbor-friend, Terry. Terry works for a divorce lawyer in the Loop. And if you're a divorce lawyer in the Loop, it's pretty safe to assume that you eat bowls of money for breakfast.
Yes, Terry's boss has a summer home in Door Co. The kind of summer home that is bigger than my regular home. The kind of summer home where she tells us not to bother with the sheets and towels because the maid will take care of it.
I always complain that I don't know enough rich people. But I guess knowing people who know rich people is good enough because Terry's boss let us stay at her huge, gorgeous, maid-maintained summer home for free. Or as Al Swerengen would say, "Free gratis."
Here is the view that we had from the dining room, where we ate cherry cheese Kringle every morning and wine cheese and crackers every evening.
Of course, this photo was taken from inside the house because it was windy and cold that day, and I wasn't about to mess up my hair just for a photo to show you people. Can you believe the size of that deck?!
Luckily, the second day, the weather was perfect.
Now, parts of Door Co. are very rural, but, contrary to what Heather may think, there are no pigs and chickens roaming the streets. In fact, it is rare to see a farm animal of any kind on the main drags. But there he was! Random horse!
Weird. Well, at least it gave the bored and weary husbands something semi-interesting to look at while they carried their wives' purses and shopping bags and prayed for death. Love the Jack Daniels denim jacket. Classyyyyyyyyyyyyy!
Oh, and here's the shower where Billi and I showered each morning. Separately.
The perfect place to film a porno, no?
And speaking of breathtaking beauty, here is Saturday night's sunset.
We didn't actually watch it, but we could see it out of the corner of our eyes while we watched Kiss Kiss Bang Bang, which, if you haven't seen it, you'll need to rent immediately.
After torturing Heather the Nature Hater with many scenery photos, texted from my phone, she retaliated by sending me a photo of herself in a bubble bath.
Well played, Heather. Well played.
It's now my computer desktop wallpaper.
