I don’t know if it made national news yesterday (Sunday) or not, but we were hit with a storm the likes of which I haven’t seen since the Columbus Day storm in the early 1960’s. Those of you in the Pacific NW will know the one I’m referring to. Continue reading
Judy, the President of the Wisconsin denisefuller.com Fan Club, has recommended a couple times that I visit Seaquist in Ellison Bay. We did that today as well as seeing several other sites. But first, I have a picture from last night: Continue reading
Today was the last day of our work week, but this weekend isn’t going to be fun and games as usual. Remember all that training Mark got to be an RV inspector? He’s been working on his final training and the next two days he has to do two premier mock inspections. We are going to be so busy I doubt I’ll have time to write, so this is a brief check in. Continue reading
Today was Mark’s and my anniversary. Yep, seven years ago today we eloped! So how did we spend our anniversary? We did a quick job of morning rounds and then we… Continue reading
Today I had a couple places I wanted to see, but we actually got more in than I had expected. I had seen in the local paper that there’s a Mahjongg group at the YMCA in Fish Creek. I have played the game on the computer so I wanted to see it in real life. Continue reading
On April 19th I wrote about my nephew, Nathanael McCroskey-Izzett, debuting as a conductor for a piece he composed for his senior project. At the time I said that as soon as it was online, I’d put it up so you could hear it. Continue reading
We leave on Wednesday for Ellison Bay, but in the meantime we’ve been working on getting some things done. This weekend we ceased working for a bit and had some fun. Continue reading
We arrived in Maple Grove, Minnesota where our KOA is and checked in on April 9th. We paid for our site and for a cabin a short distance from our site, got the key and a space heater for the cabin, turned the space heater and porch light on, and locked the door. The cabin is for my son, Jamey, who was just finishing up a work conference at the University of Minnesota. He had spent the two nights of his conference in a hotel, so he called us when it was over and we went to pick him up. Continue reading
We knew when we got up this morning that it was going to be a busy day, but it was even busier than we originally thought it was going to be. Continue reading
Today was bitterly cold with heavy winds that blew through our tent. Our boss told us to mark all our trees and wreaths at half price, and even at that people tried to get us to let them have a tree for less! At some point today a couple walked in. The man was blind in one eye and they both looked hard up. The first thing the man said to me was, “We’ve had a bad year. We’re hoping you have a small tree.” I showed them our only table top tree which is flocked, and at half price it was $25, but that was obviously too much for them and they left, looking rather dejected.
