On December 9, 2009 we had a huge snowstorm across the entire state of WI.  Schools were closed, traffic was bad, etc!

At our house the roads had not been plowed yet, so our driveway was also not plowed (we have someone do it for us).  The power went out shortly after 8 am, which also meant we had no water.  The plow came through around 9:30ish and cleaned out the driveway, but with  no power it also meant we couldn’t get out of the garage (the door is HEAVY). The power came back on around 2pm, it was cold in the house by then around 62.  We still did not have cable for a couple more hours after that.

At any rate the boys and Cleveland had a great time in the snow.  View the pics below.

This weekend we decided to go visit the Maritime Museum in Manitowoc, WI.  The museum contains all kinds of great exhibits as well as a tour of a real WWII Submarine, the USS-Cobia.  We also visited the Berner’s Ice Cream shop which claims to be the first to invent the ice cream sundae!

Glad I had my camera in the car….the pic directly below is from my iphone. The others I took after I decided I couldn’t let the opportunity pass me up, so I stopped and took the pics with my Kodak DX6490.

Had a great time with my friend Angela and her family at Bay Beach Park in Green Bay over Labor Day weekend.

I went to see the Kids in the Hall with my sisters and our friends Dori and Jamie in April 2008. Was so good to see the show!

Okay, did some research and discovered that more than likely this weird bug is a Giant Ichneumon.

I'm sure it's real
