Today (Friday 7/23/2021) we moved from the Buffalo Lake Camping Resort in Montello, WI to our friends Tom & Mary’s house in Delafield, WI. Their home is on beautiful Nagawicka Lake. Tom and I were in school together from first grade through college. We even roomed together in an off campus apartment our senior year. Tom and Mary were engaged at that point and Mary hung out with us all the time.
We stopped at the Kwik Trip in Lake Mills, WI to buy fuel. It was less than 30 miles from their house so we disconnected the Tahoe while we were there so that we wouldn’t have to disconnect at their house and block their street.
We arrived at Tom & Mary’s around 2:45PM CDT and connected the camper to one of their garage 120V outlets so that we could run our refrigerator and then went inside to meet their dogs Bear & Lucy (totally different personalities but both 100% adorable). When Tom arrived home from work he served us his signature cosmos and then grilled some steaks on his Big Green Egg. Mary made a delicious cornbread with onions in her cast iron skillet. Everything was delicious. After dinner we packed up some cocktails and headed out on their pontoon to watch the sunset. We sat on their back porch when we got home and were blessed with a beautiful “Buck Moon” rising over the lake.

Delafield has a quaint downtown district with shops, eateries, and other attractions. It is in walking distance of Tom & Mary’s house so we walked to the Lumber Inn for breakfast Saturday morning. We sat outside and enjoyed a wonderful meal. Beth had the House Skillet and I had what was basically a meat lover’s omelette. They both came with American Fries which were cooked to perfection with just the right amount of “crunch” on the outside. We both loved our breakfast and Tom & Mary wouldn’t have taken us there if they didn’t love breakfast there was well.
Saturday afternoon we headed out on the pontoon again. They took us on a tour around the lake so that we could see all of the beautiful homes. Tom pointed out that several homes are owned by members of the Pabst and Harley Davidson families. We anchored in a nice little cove at the top end of the lake and they rolled out their Lily Pad for us to hang out on. It was hot out and the lake water was quite refreshing (it took about 5 minutes to get accustomed to it). After several hours on the lake we headed back to the house. After many years of boating on saltwater, I quickly saw the advantages of freshwater boating. Tom just pulls the boat in on the lift and after we all disembark, he raises the boat out of the water and he’s done. No flushing the motor or washing all of the saltwater off of the boat. What a life!

For dinner we walked back to town and ate at Revere’s Wells St Tavern. Mary had read our previous blog entry stating that the Cheese Curds at the Ravina Bay Bar & Grill in Wisconsin Dells may have been the best we ever had as a challenge, so they took us to Revere’s Wells Street Tavern for dinner. We had the Cheese Curds and after much deliberation, we have declared them tied for best Cheese Curds we have ever had. Mary may never invite us back to visit again, but we have to maintain our integrity as Cheese Curd connoisseurs. Beth’s main course was Chicken Cesar Salad and French Onion Soup. I ordered the Revere Burger and it was definitely one of my Top 5 best burgers ever (I hope nobody is keeping track of how many times I say something is “Top 5”).

After dinner we went back to the house and continued catching up (over cocktails) on our lives since college. It was a wonderful weekend and we really hope to have similar Get-Togethers with Tom & Mary in the future.
