Life in Wisconsin



We have now been in Wisconsin for 2 weeks. It has been a bit cool and damp. Yesterday was lovely so Dale and I took the day off and went to the Zoo. We have been to the Milwaukee Zoo several times over the years. The first time Aaron, Susanne, cousins Lori, Dean, Uncle Mark and Aunt Linda were part of the fun. It was many years ago and many memories. The children were about the age Aaron's, Luke and Christian are now.


Zoo's are always fun. Dale and I meander slowly enjoying the animals (and people). We will sit and muse at an interesting exhibit, pondering both the animals and the people. Near the end of the day, we sat at the JAPANESE MACAQUE exhibit for about an hour. You get to know a lot more about the animals when you just sit and enjoy their lives. They learn to totally ignore human life around them and live as they normally would, well sort of live as they would.


We are now half way through our time with Mark and Sally. I wish we could stay longer to see the completion of Sally's new kitchen. I just hope we are able to get the majority done. Sally has been a long time without much of a kitchen. This is very exciting to be able to help with her dreams.
