MBA Michael

Graduation at Cal Lu in Thousand Oaks yesterday - congrats to MBA Mike!

January 18, 2015

Anne helped with the 5 and under bonspiel at the curling club. When home we did a little hike around the lake (some spots very soggy as temperature was around 40F), then champagne (part of my Christmas gift) and a sunset. The Thienot bottle of champagne was the best of the three so far. The Packers lost to the Seahawks and Ack blames the coaching for playing conservatively with 5 minutes to go!

Vedauwoo

Just for the heck of it, here are some photos from Vedauwoo, a magical place just outside Laramie. We visited there in November with Erin and Al, about 25 years after the last time I'd been there with my two very little girls. Just as amazing as I'd remembered.

Happy Anniversary!

In New York this weekend, 

 we celebrated Mimi and Poppy's 65th wedding anniversary...

and Evelyn's 39th birthday.

Both parties were fun and delicious.

September 6 - the 61st anniversary...

We celebrated our wedding anniversary with a roadtrip east.  Wandering through Wisconsin's small towns, we just missed the deadline to play in West Bend's Germanfest Sheepshead tournament but danced some polkas as consolation instead and enjoyed our first visit to the Museum of Wisconsin Art. 

Then, further east to the big lake for Port Washington's Maritime Festival. 

South to Glenview to finally try Kopp's frozen custard (it lives up to its reputation) and eye their cow installation.

Further south to Milwaukee for Mexican Fiesta, 



and a really nice stay at the Residence Inn on the Riverwalk. On Saturday, we viewed excellent exhibits at the Milwaukee Museum of Art, 

had a first visit to buddy Jose Chavez's newly opened (and delicious and beautiful) Cafe La Paloma in Milwaukee's Walker's Point neighborhood, 


went further south to Humboldt Park for Indiafest and a fabulous nap under a shady tree, then headed home sweet home.  

Fun little celebration.
