Happy Valentines Day!

I just want to wish every one out there reading this a wonderful day.

Jill and I celebrated this past weekend by getting out of town and checking out Lake Geneva. This is a summer hot spot about an hour southwest of Milwaukee. The town was small with some shopping. The place we stayed was called the Grand Geneva Resort. It was pretty impressive in size. It has a golf course, its own ski hill, a spa and recreation building, three restaurants, and another hotel with indoor waterpark. It is just outside of town and really its own community. It was a nice stay that included a Valentine package. Jill got a basket with a teddy bear, chocolates, a candle and wine. Once we got to the resort we stayed. We ate a nice dinner and went to one of the bars after. In the morning they had a pretty good breakfast buffet that was also included. Needless to say it was a very nice weekend with my love.

I hope everyone else can celebrate in some way with someone.

Love to everyone.

Thank You Canada!

So this past week we have felt a touch of the Northwest Territories. AS Annie tells of new spring days Milwaukee has had a blast of Arctic air. I think we are on our 6th day of below zero weather. When Mom talks about every day all day being -30 and people are walking around in unappropriate clothing, then it hits Milwaukee -20 for two days and the entire city was shut down. No school for the kids and no activities that would warrant them to go outside. It was just too cold. On Monday it was nice, the day after the Super Bowl(I was going for the Bears but really didnt care either way), I just cleaned the house up. On Tuesday when we were called off I was already bored by the time I woke up. I drove around that morning hoping to get some good pictures to show the cold to everyone. I was disappointed when the "sea smoke" was not going that morning. That is the steam rising off Lake Michigan, they showed it on the news the night before and I was hoping to capture it but it was cloudy so I think the surface of the water was not getting the heat it needed. I did find these other pictures.



The first picture is of an ice fishing house on our pond in the park. I thought it was very funny at first thought.
The second pictuer is Lake Michigan as the clouds come in from the west but the sun is peeking through somewhere from here to MI.
The third is the light house on the edge of the Milwaukee River going out to the lake with the house showing the entrance to the bay in the background.

So it has been awhile since I have written anything. Sorry about that to all that actually do check this every once in a while. So I have some old stuff that I will start with. Jill and I had a Holiday party we went to. It is a different party. This party is ran by some crazy friends of ours and is dubbed the Turtleneck Party. This give goers a couple options to work with. A lot of the people dress up in some over the top Christmas sweaters with very extravagant decorations. Others go the 70's route and break out the tight turtleneck and platform shoes the whole works. I figured the most outrageous thing that I could come up with was a nice two week growth moustache. Jills brother Joe also went in on this and the pictures show the way there as well as the final product. What do you like the best?
