AirVenture (Saturday)
We tried to sleep in today, but it just didn’t happen. Heck, sleeping in typically means 7am anymore. Our host prepared most excellent breakfast burritos this morning. After eating and packing the car we decided to take a stroll and see the rest of Neenah. We headed down Wisconsin Street in [...]
Happy Birthday to Me!
It only took six months, but John hooked me up with birthday presents this weekend!! He installed a new Pioneer radio and Infinity “Reference” (?) speakers. Probably not the best kit in the world, but it sounds great compared to what I had before — and the speakers actually work. He also [...]
Monster Squash
When I left for Orlando on Tuesday morning (very early Tuesday morning), I had a couple of tiny zucchini starting to form. I also had 17 baby tomatoes. When I got back this afternoon, I was greeted by these monsters. In order to keep squash plants producing, you’re supposed to pick them [...]

And DC Too
While my sis was in town, we spent a couple of days touring around Washington, DC too. Nothing big to report. We rode a tour bus around town. Drove past the Capitol Building. Went to the top of the Washington Monument. Stopped to check out the Jefferson Memorial. Rode [...]
I (heart) New York
Ok, maybe it’s more of a Love/Hate relationship.
It’s an interesting town. Visiting was neat but I definitely wouldn’t want to live there. One of the first things that I learned is that pedestrians are completely nuts. They just walk right out in front of cars and hold up traffic — no worries [...]
New York, Here I Come!
My sister is in town this week. I’m meeting her (and her friends) in New York City tomorrow morning. I’m taking the train up; they’re flying from Reagan National. We’re meeting somewhere in Times Square. I am so excited — I’ve never been to NYC before!! Yay!
I’ve got my bags all [...]
