Ireland 2008… 🍀

Posted on by

So… When one goes through drawers, files, and boxes, one finds things you’ve forgotten about… As, the video we put together of our first trip to Ireland, in 2008. My god, fifteen years ago…. Yeah, time must really fly. Anyway, here’s the video I put together to be our slide show, w/ music…. Brings back so many memories, and, a few tears… But, how lucky we were/are, to be able to share adventures with each other…..

A Frank Lloyd Wright Day

Posted on by

Hi there…. So, today is our 27th wedding anniversary, and, to ‘celebrate’ we went on a tour of the two Frank Lloyd Wright sites within 1/2 hour of our home…. The first, is the Laurent House… The only design he did for special needs…

Then, we went over to Belvidere, Il, to see the Petit Chapel, one of Wrights early designs

We are lucky to have two distinct examples of his work, so close to home….

Pizza on the Farm

Posted on by

Hey kids… Last night- Saturday- was a fun evening. We were invited to play at the ‘Pizza on the Farm’ event, at Inn Serendipity, for the Wisconsin Soil Sisters… Fun time. The Inn is an off grid, B&B/farm, and Soil Sisters are a group of women farmers, that work together to help each other. Both are way cool… A good crowd, and amazing food. The pizza was killer, and, other tasty foods- salads, cheeses, finger food… All soooo good… Thank you again, for asking us to be a part of this fun, worthy event!
