Mornin’ All,
Happy Friday and Happy (almost) Weekend!!!😃
Big weekend. BIG WEEKEND!!! Just because Summerfest and July 4th are behind us does NOT mean that summer in Milwaukee is over. Far from it! So let’s get right to the good stuff happening around Milwaukee this weekend that might be good for your soul!!!😃

-Bastille Days (oui)! Essentially it’s Milwaukee’s French Fest (oui, oui)!! And most of it is a FREE street fair (oui, oui, oui)!!!
-In honor of Bastille Days the Milwaukee Art Museum is presenting the Streets of Paris with more French…stuff! More than that, admission to the museum is FREE (oui, oui) on Friday night so go and check out the really cool Posters of Jules Chéret exhibit.
-The Red Bull Flugtag is at Veterans Park. Flugtag you ask??? Umm, well, it’s a bunch of homemade…umm…flying machines(?) that “fly”, but not really, and might just make you laugh so hard you pee your pants. And it’s FREE! Wee Wee!!!

Ok, I’m out of breath (or my fingers are tired from typing?)!
So please have a GREAT weekend (TEALS: please get away from all that BOARDS stuff for a few minutes this weekend!!!). And please take care of yourself and your friends. Get out and enjoy all the good that life has to offer. And always know that being still and quiet and relaxing and renewing is ALWAYS an outstanding accomplishment.
Best regards and I’m hoping to see you around town.
