Friday, August 31, 2012:  Mark and Paula were on the road headed east. 

They stopped at Taylor's Falls for something sweet at a bakery there. 

It is a great place to stop along the St. Croix River.   

Chef Paula

The next day, Chef Paula was at a Farmer's Market in Oconomowoc, Wisconsin, some 30 miles west of Milwaukee checking out the produce.

Yes, the spelling is correct.  Oconomowoc (O' con-o-mo-walk) is Algonquian and is on a lake of the same name.

Yes, there was a lot to see including the lady who displayed her favorite shopping bag for everyone to see.

Flowers are a popular at that market.

Mark came across a gathering of Harley-Davidson motorcycle owners who were holding a solemn ceremony with representatives of the Nation of Patriots on tour through the country. 

The organization provides financial support to families of wounded service veterans. 

Lead on!
