My sandal strap had pulled-out - I was BLESSED to find a wonderful Shoe Repair shop in Marinette, WI. It was 12:20 East Coast Time, so while he did the repair, I was able to use-my-phone-as-a-hot-spot and was able to do my spreadsheet-and-email responsibilities for Thursday Men's Breakfast (yes, I was able to post-his-store's-picture and give him a GREAT review):
I made my way around Green Bay, and was able to visit some old Cole-family haunts up in Deer Creek:
Ominous skies - before THE DOWNPOUR (at least I got a car wash):
