Winter Addendem

Adding a little to yesterdays' entry......

It was a MAJOR oversight to forget our great adventurers - Kathy's sister Jean & Bill on the good ship SV Talaria sailing down the west coast of Mexico , on the first year of their Pacific journey (follow

their trip on their blog in my fun links).I'm sure they're having great,great times....but let us not forget that Jimmy Buffet has made MILLIONS singing about the inherent dangers of living the laid-back tropical lifestyle that a lot of us supposedly yearn for..at some point Kathy & I are just going to HAVE to go visit them and check out the validity of all this....

ANYWAY--today was another great winter's day up here , so I went skiing again --this time with Amy...and once again the trails were Fine...

...and the winter's snows were melting away into babbling brooks--take a listen...

Mid-Winter Revelation

WELL....

It's been awhile since the last post - mainly because of busy-ness around here...tile work picked up a little the last 3 weeks (Obama's stimulus plan , no doubt)...but wait! , now it's slow again!

I am work-deprived ; therefore I publish...

I must take note of various friends & relatives out on excursions away from this Winter Wonderland of Frozen Tundra....

Son-in-law Kevin Schneider just got back from 3 weeks of training in Baltimore to upgrade his abilities at the Veterans Administration here in town - and Amy got to join on weekends ! Eating out every night on the governments tab , fun in a historic Chesapeake Bay city and a little skiing in the mountains of West Virginia...it was all fine ; but Kevin admitted -there's no place like home !

Good friends Lois & Al just got back from a week in Florida - the Keys and the Everglades. Sure , the food was fantastic , the weather congenial (except for those 8-foot swells during a boat trip) and days filled with fun activities (note: Do Not stand still in Everglades for more than 10 seconds or you become some Crocodiles' appetizer !) Milwaukee suburban life sounds pretty tame & safe , doesn't it ?

Fellow Sheepshead-club friends Sharon & Virgil are down in florida -as we speak- traveling around from place to place , golfing ,biking and generally having a great retirement trip down in that part of the country where frost & cold never has a chance to kill off the ticks , spiders mosquitos , scorpions ,killer bees , etc., like it does here. Good luck my friends...

Same goes for my Dad, Diane, brother Tyler and Caryn...all visiting my uncle Ed around Tampa this weekend....watch out for those sink-holes..

Soon , long-time friends Joan & Randy will stay at their time-share on St. Lucia in the Virgin Islands....And i hope to god I don't hear of another near-death experience while scuba-diving 80 feet down when your air runs out ! ..the dreams wont stop...

Yes..life here in the dairyland ,even in february , looks just fine....

So Kathy & I went out today cross-country skiing at Whitnall park , on a beautiful sun-kissed winter's day , gliding over 7 inches of fresh , pristine Wisconsin snow......

Enjoy life...wherever you may be.......

Summer--Only a few months away !!

Yesss !!I'm getting away from Flickr.com as my online album of choice and moving to Photobucket.com...Free and with many more options to use pics (also unlimited in size...flickr charges $$$ if you have more than 200 pics )
You can copy any pics you see there easily ( no need to email on my part) and the resolution should be great.Not much there now ;still workin on it..
Link will be on the rightside of this page in the future ! ................. jeff
