• 15 years ago my nephew gifted me this website/blog and has been maintaining it ever since.  We had a couple of issues that needed to be updated, so I am finally stepping up to take some responsibility. Craig helped me move the site and do the updates, and my goal (as it has been for 15 years) is to learn more about WordPress and keep things update.   With Craig’s input!  Thanks Craig. The site should work as normal now but may look slightly different.

    Things are changing in Wisconsin.  Trees are changing and nights are getting cold.   That means it is time to head south.   I had my last round of golf for 2026, in Wisconsin. The end of summer was fun.   In August MJ flew in to spend a couple of days with Marie and Chris and I got away to Milwaukee for Irishfest.  We had a great time with friends and our first days on our own this year.   I have had a chance to brew a couple of batches of beer with Mark, and we had a number of times out with old friends.   I had a number of rounds of golf in August and September, including a chance to take up an invitation from my cousin Joe to golf a chamber of commerce outing.   It was good to have the chance to spend a little time with him. Chris and I did a couple of cooking classes at a local winery,  good food and wine what could be wrong.   Overall, a good summer.   Marie has struggled at times with some confusion, and we are worried 5 days on the road back to Snug Harbor may be tough on her.    We hope when she settles back into her condo things will be OK,   we will have to see.  We left Sunday October 3 to Champaign Urbana Illinois.  We landed after a Packers win and got to see the Brewers win game 2.

  • Coming up on the 25th anniversary of 9-11, we are starting to hear more about Do Not Forget.    It’s getting more important as no one under 30 has any memory of that day.   We should remember those that were in the towers and planes, the first responders, and all of us who experienced the terrible…

  • July 2026

    In June we were into our apartments in Wisconsin. Marie was very happy when she saw her new apartment and has settled in well. Once we worked out TV and internet, things were even better. Verizon offered a special deal on internet which has worked out better than I thought. Then we worked on catching…

    Working our way to the end of May and taking care of our last appointments (as you get older there seems to be more), so we thought maybe time to hit the road. We made a couple of plans and started to pack. We put some things in place, started cleaning refrigerators, and got the…

  • So again, as I get older I get slower! I cannot believe it has been so many months since I have posted. We seem to be busy all the time, I have many less rounds of golf this year; maybe I just move slower. But we have had fun the last 4 months. Special time…

  • 2025 is coming to an end. The years really do fly by, which should not be surprising since the days and weeks also seem to fly by. We give thanks for all the positives this year; Chris and I remain healthy, we were able to travel and made new memories with Marie and Mary Jane.…

  • We want to wish you all a Happy Thanksgiving! We are living a good life here in Florida. The weather has been wonderful, although today it clouded up this afternoon because of a cold front coming down from up north. If course it will still be in the 70’s. MJ came down Wednesday so we…

  • So I stopped the last blog post in Atlanta. We had some traffic problems that day but had a good nights rest and breakfast then headed out of Atlanta on Saturday morning. It was a good day to travel and we stayed right on our planned time on the road. We landed in Gainsville Florida…

  • So the last blog ended with Chris, Marie, and I heading to Oshkosh. We then spent the second week of July in Oshkosh and prepared to head north again. July 12-26th we were in Door County joined by MJ and our old friends Jeff and Donna. And of course our multiple old friends from all…

  • On from Savannah we went, and took a scenic ride to Asheville NC. It is summer and each leg of our trip included some road construction and slow downs, but that is just part of the trip. Nothing too terrible and Android Auto has already calculated that in to the scheduled time on the road.…
