It seemed a few of you were curious about the piano in Monday’s post and I couldn’t resist telling more of the story. Five years ago, we were living in the very bottom of Texas and decided to go to Big Bend for our honeymoon. Along the wa

Downtown Oshkosh filming begins
Sunday, 13 April 2008 8:29 P GMT-06
I have taken the following photos on two separate trips to downtown Oshkosh, Wisconsin this past week. Our favorite “local” camera store just happens to be there and we went to get some flash units, but more importantly we went to be
Swampy's zany ABCs or Alphabetic Fun Monday
Monday, 24 March 2008 8:24 A GMT-06
When Swampy gave us our instructions to post something to do with the ABCs, I felt like I was playing the ABC game with my kids. You know the one where you take turns naming foods, animals, names, etc through the alphabet. It kept my kids entertained
Kinda Creepy, Kinda Cool, Really Real

Dennis and I were able to make it to the Milwaukee Public Museum to tour the limited exhibit, Gunther von Hagens' BODY WORLDS: The Original Exhibition of Real Human Bodies. We were not able to take cameras inside so you’ll have watch the vi

My head is feeling better, I didn’t think it was ever going to quit hurting (it's snowing). You know it was really bugging me when you think about the fact I took zero photos for several days in a row! That is not me, generally, shut me in
Outhouse racing
Sunday, 2 March 2008 12:00 A GMT-06
Only in Wisconsin, or is it? We attended the 2nd Annual Outhouse Races in Perkinstown, put on by the Chequamegon (pronounced sha-wahma-gann) Wildlife & Recreation Club, mostly because we had never heard of such a thing! Four pushers and one squat
We had an affair!
Sunday, 24 February 2008 10:33 A GMT-06
A few weeks ago we went to Hudson, Wisconsin for the Hot Air Affair but I have put off messing with those photos. One reason is that I had over 700 photos to go through, I got it down to 107. Another reason is that they were all taken at
2008 Flakeout Festival
Tuesday, 5 February 2008 11:13 A GMT-06
A couple of weeks ago, we did run to Wisconsin Dells (waterpark capital of the word) to get some photos of the snow sculptures. But it was so cold, in the negative degrees, that all of the sculptures had frozen dirty looking snow in places, like thes
Round Robin Challenge: Landmarks
Saturday, 26 January 2008 12:28 A GMT-06
The Round Robin Challenge (pop over and sign up for this challenge or the next one. ) this time was suggested by Carly:Again, let's take an opportunity to show off our hometowns. I live in the Bay Area, so I have no real shortage of recogniz

We took a chance on a narrow gravel road. We saw a cache on the GPS and decided civilization lay ahead, as long as we didn't have to pass another vehicle we should be safe. It was a shortcut! Then we read the description on the

Is there a law out there somewhere that I've overlooked? You know, the one that says that the perfect time for your child to get sick is when you are all on vacation? Preferably, two states away?My daughter, fiancé, and grandson are visiti

Saturday, 19 January 2008 9:34 A GMT-06
Over a month ago we decided to spend this Saturday in Wisconsin Dells at the annual Flake Out Festival. There are a LOT of activities all weekend long in the Dells, but the one thing we wanted to see was the Wisconsin State Snow Sculpting Competition

New Year’s Eve we decided to run up north to Woodruff and watch the fireworks. These are my favorite shots (they actually look really cool BIG). I had never seen fireworks over a frozen lake with a blanket of snow everywhere.For these shots I u
Jacksonport Polar Bear Club or how I spent New Year's Day
Thursday, 3 January 2008 12:59 A GMT-06
We made the drive up to Door County on New Year’s day to watch the Polar Bear Swim (plunge) in Jacksonport, Wisconsin. It was 25 degrees when we got there, so maybe you can imagine how cold that water must have been. I have not quite decided if

We have been running like crazy the last few days and I'm so behind. In the next few days I'll show the other critters we found on our Eagle watching trip, fireworks from New Year's Eve and the Polar Plunge in Door County on New Yea

My husband has been enjoying some time off work and with the snow and holidays we’ve stayed close to home. Each time we think we’ll venture out to geocache we get worn out trudging through knee deep snow and give up and go home. We have s

We took a little sidetrip into South Dakota on our trip home. And I'm so glad we stopped in Sioux Falls. He may be the Monarch of the Plains but this bison is not the highlight of Falls Park. I’ve seen Niagara Falls but I swear this waterfa

I never finished sharing my photos from Thanksgiving so, after stopping by a point we never knew existed. . . We were able to stand on all three states at one time, Missouri, Kansas and Oklahoma. . . . We stopped long enough in St Joseph to snag a ph

Night 1 - Huge moon nightsky Iowa Night 2 (the next night) - orange moon reflecting Wisconsin The second set was much harder to take. Both nights we were driving home from Missouri, but it was later and Wisconsin has a lot more trees in the way.

Once again my family in Missouri has been struck by an ice storm. This time it is my grandparents without power. My step-daughter is also once again without power, Maybe they should all move up here, we get snow but typically not ic
Who is Chicken George?
Friday, 30 November 2007 12:00 A GMT-06
A couple of days ago I shared with you the gravestone memorial of Chicken George and it seems there are some questions on who he was. You ask questions and I try to answer so, you can find the full story by reading (or watching) Alex Haley’s Ro

Thursday, 29 November 2007 9:59 P GMT-06
I cannot believe that we so close to December and yet I still keep finding flowers. And bugs. Shouldn’t they be hibernating or something? But my prize of our trip (other than visiting with family of course) would have to be this little fello
