Fall is Coming

We went to Minocqua today to go to the bank. The two and a half hour journey was filled with yellowing and red tinted leaves. Fall has started its march south. (I know spring is in March, but I'm talking about the verb).

One difficult thing about living in Houghton, is that the nearest US Bank (our bank) is in Minocqua. Luckily with the advent of online banking; we can deposit checks, transfer money, and handle most of our budgets online. However, there is an amount limit to checks that can be deposited online, and my Student loan check exceeded that limit. So, off to the Bank we go.

While at the bank, we opened our first joint account! Then we ate at the Mexican restaurant in town. What a treat to have ethnic food that we did not have to experiment to make! We then wandered around downtown. Cassandra got some yarn for a hat. Bryan got some super warm wool/angora rabbit socks (very useful). We both stocked up on chocolate and fudge. Civilization is dangerous.
