Mark and I are continuing our out-of-the-ordinary dates on weekends. The one in between the barn quilts date, we were going to go to the drive-in theater in Fish Creek for a movie, but they weren’t playing anything that Mark was interested in, so we went to a movie theater in Sturgeon Bay instead and watched the movie Reagan.

I just didn’t feel like writing much or doing much. I think I’m beginning to get my head above water this week. Mark and I recently decided we would have an unusual date every weekend. Today, we drove around Door County looking for barn quilts.

Continue readingI can’t remember if I’ve mentioned that we now have a third J-1 daughter. Our first one was Kayla from Jamaica. Then we got Casie from Mongolia. Just recently, we got Aleksandra from Bulgaria. Tonight, all three of them were off work and asked if we could take them down to Walmart in Sturgeon Bay. We did that, and then we had an opportunity to take them to dinner and on a little tour.
Continue readingI am becoming Zak’s biggest fan! He wants to work up here every weekend this summer and I have been spreading his fame. One thing Door County doesn’t have is reliable contractors, so his services are just what everyone needs up here, but I get him first!
Continue readingYou may have noticed that you either get feast or famine from me. My mother called me last night and said that I hadn’t written in a while, and when I checked, it’s been nearly a month since my last blog.
