1. Hopping on the ATV in a mild fall day and enjoying the simple beauty of the landscape that surrounds you.
2. Sunday morning Jazz, the Apple in Green Bay used to have Sunday morning jazz.. it was a staple. With kids.. somewhat of a bygone staple for now.
3. A late spring / early summer swim in a fresh water lake.
4. Fresh tenderloin from a fall kill.. thinly sliced saute' in mushrooms. Just melts in your mouth.
5. Freshly caught, pan fried trout. Butter and mushrooms.. morel mushrooms preferred.
6. Corn fed year old beef sliced about 2 inches thick.. grilled to a medium rare state.
7. Homemade strawberry wine with a hint of high bush cranberry to slightly dim the sweetness.
8. Listening to the kids uncontrollably giggle over some silly little thing or another.
Just a few of the simple joys.
