Cousin Love

Why is it so difficult to get more than one child to smile for the camera

at the same time?

 Please pay attention.....

 I'm over HERE...

 Kisses for Jack.

 Lookin' pretty Felicity.

 Thanks for the smiles Jack.

That's all folks....

Great Grandpa Meets Hadalye

Priceless......

Wordless Wednesday

Hanging On

 We've actually been having some beautiful fall weather around here. It has been around 70 degrees and sunny.

 The days are getting shorter.....

 The mornings are crisp....

 Days on the front porch are gone until spring.

I'm going to hang on to every bit of it, since the "w" word is just around the corner.

People always tell me, "it's Wisconsin, get used to it." I've been here for 46 years.....I think I understand the weather here.

I know that I live in Wisconsin and it is too cold here for me most of the time. I was born here and actually built a house on land that was part of my parent's dairy farm.

The only way I would move somewhere warmer is if a couple hundred of my family and friends would move with us.

So I stay here and be cold......all for the love of family.

Fall Decorating

I finally got around to putting up my fall decorations this weekend......

Tomahawk's Fall Ride

Every year we try to get this one last ride in for the season. It is always held in September and the weather is very unpredictable at this time of year. I am a fair weather rider and don't usually ride when it's cooler out but I usually suck it up and go up north every fall for this huge biker's weekend. When we started out it was a bit chilly for me.  I was hoping the colors of the trees would be further along than they were.

But it is worth it once we get there because the number of bikes in this tiny town is unbelievable. The population of Tomahawk is 3,770 people. I was told there were around 40,000 bikes there for the weekend.

This year the event raised $78,000.00 for the MDA.

What a beautiful fall day it was and what an awesome time we had together.

The Joy of Jack

This little man brings so much joy into our home. Everyone says Jack looks just like his Papa, what do you think?

Who ever knew you could love a child as much as you love your own children?
