Sometimes we do things we’re so embarrassed by … like this past weekend when we were at the park. Everett was swinging and swinging and swinging. Every time I’d slow down he’d say, “MORE SWINGING!” I’m sure it was a good hour until he finally decided heading home was a good idea. So I pulled […]

Ninety percent of the village was destroyed and nine people died. Other communities in southern Wisconsin were also hit within a span of about two hours […]

This year I went hog wild with my landscaping. I figured since Spring took so long to get here, I might as well take full advantage of being outside now that it finally IS here. So, I have flowers planted in window boxes and containers and along the side of my house. It took a […]

Kris Severson (bless her big heart and boundless energy) and other council members put the show together. It will be on display through July 26. You’ll also […]

On Memorial Day weekend, Bratfest kicks off the festival season. If you keep your eyes open, you’ll see lots of radio stations broadcasting from these summertime events (even Magic 98). Over the years, I have been to a few. In small-town Iowa more than 20 years ago, the annual summer festival was supposed to […]
Friday morning, Joe was presented (ta-da!) from behind rolling portable walls to some 34 tots and their families at Olbrich Gardens On the Pond series. Presenter Jennifer Sterling first read Melvin the Turtle.There were creative turtle projects for the little ones to make, and then there was time to visit the real thing – Joe. I brought […]

This past Sunday was graduation day for Truman from The Dog Den’s Freestyle 1 class of 2014. After several weeks of learning how to “dance,” Truman had his performance final and, while not perfect, he gave a stellar performance none the less. I, on the other hand, noticed I really need to work on my form after […]

I’m going to be teaching at the Chroma Art Bar in Fort Atkinson on May 22 (evening class), June 14 (Sat. class) and June 19 (Thu. class). I ‘ve decided to also teach two other styles of painting, too. The classes are very small and, besides being able to have a beer if you want, you don’t have to have any […]
