I am thankful for my family

This was our first Thanksgiving kind of in Green Bay. I picked Claire up at St Norbert's on Tuesday night and we had a wonderful dinner together with Mike at Montagues. On Wednesday Claire and I shopped and then we joined my dad, at Jerry's home for pizza. Thanksgiving was at my dad and Mary's home. It was a small gathering this year: Jerry and his family, Ann and Michael, Mary Lou and Fred, Mike, Claire and I plus Dad and Mary. The food was delicious as always.

I am very thankful for my family and friends.

Happy 50th Birthday Karen!

What a wonderful way to celebrate a momentous occasion: wine tasting,

massage and dinner with friends at a wonderful hotel, The American Club. Below are pictures from the wine tasting at LedgeStone Vineyards http://ledgestonevineyards.com/home.html. We enjoyed all types of great wine, cheese, bread with olive oil and balsamic vinegar and a selection of olives. It was hard to leave but we eventually did bearing all kinds of wines and gifts to share with family and friends. Then it was on to a wonderful old church in Sheboygan for a relaxing massage. Dinner in the Wisconsin Room followed present opening. I wish I had taken a picture of the birthday girl with her tiara.

Thanks for the great memories Karen. Here's to the next 50 years!

Happy Birthday Claire

Happy Birthday Claire! 20 years old on November 4, 2008. It was fun to spend a little time with you on your birthday. I am so happy you liked the guitar and I so loved hearing you play. Your talent for music is very special. Here's to a great year.
