The president of my Wisconsin fan club, Judy Boldt, was after me today for not writing anything since my bicycle accident, so I’m dedicating this post to her! This may be a bit of a mish-mash because I can’t quite decide which of several things to write about, but here goes: Continue reading
OK, so this happened last weekend: We had the annual staff and seasonal spring potluck. Usually they try to have it in May or early June when more of the staff can be available, but this time it was difficult for everyone to coordinate their schedule, so Mark and I and Chris and Deb were the only staff members who were able to attend. Here are the pictures: Continue reading
Mom reminded me today that it’s been a while since I’ve written. First of all, we’ve been in the midst of a remodel, and that being so, we haven’t gotten out much. However, I thought you might be interested to see what we’ve been working on.
Wednesday night, almost the entire staff, including Tim and Kathy who arranged it, got to take a boat tour of the bluffs with Shoreline Tours. This came about because someone from the tour company took the Certified Tourism Ambassador (CTA) training with us a few weeks ago and they offered us a free tour.

The creator of the albums would go to some remote place like the ocean or a lake during a storm and record the sounds. Each side of the album would play about half an hour of whatever the microphone caught and for that glorious amount of time, you could be transported there within the confines of your own home.

We have been so excited all day as we’ve headed “home”. In fact, when we crossed into Door County we broke out into a gusty rendition of Mozart’s “Hallelujah Chorus”! Continue reading
We left the Indianapolis area this morning, and instead of traveling on the freeway, we took US-31 north past Kokomo and South Bend. On this route we were traveling through more rural settings and it was peaceful. Continue reading
