So where did January actually go?

Apparently there are some of us who just never stop clowning around in public

I haven't written in my blog lately, which makes me a little sad.  I have been doing school, doing a little traveling, hanging out here, letting my stupid toe heal, enduring some obnoxiously cold weather, and then some warm, soupy weather that has caused a lot of slush....  oy.

So yeah, not much has been happening here.  But that won't be the case forever- I have stuff I plan to post!  I have a bunch of photos I realize I need to process from visiting Ella and Ava....  So yeah.  Meanwhile, I have some iPhone photos from my nephew's wedding last weekend.  I took a few pictures there too, but alas- photo processing.  Well, I will be changing that soon.  :)

Last time I let the blog go a couple years ago, we all know what happened......  not good.

So, though I am not a very superstitious person, I feel like I need to interrupt that possibility!  :)  hehe

So enjoy my photos of my lovely family- it was a super fun weekend.  Hey- you know what??  People in Milwaukee area dress up for weddings!  This event had no one in camo, blue jeans, blaze orange- no casual dress at all.  It was a refreshing change.  I am not dissing our northwoods for the more casual atmosphere, as that is our jam, but it was very pleasant.  AND I have to say that this was a wedding with several military folks, including the groom and his brother.... and a whole lot of firefighters, which also includes the groom.  They were adorable.

Bill, Rosie and I

It was so nice to see my seester-Rose and her hubby Bill, and Emily.  Plus my brother and his wife as well.  Just such a nice day.

Bill, Rose, Emily, Darlene and Bobby 

Anyway, I hope that you all have a joyful weekend!!  :)

Photo post- again

I am in the mood to blog this afternoon.  I feel very tired but I think I could be making headway towards health.  At least my voice is not compromised today, which is a good thing for my ability to teach tomorrow!  So, what am I going to post?  I am going to scroll through my pictures and see what strikes my fancy- so you will be surprised right along with me.

Some of my favs from past and present- because I want to!  :)  Sorry if this seems excessively long and repetitive.  HOWEVER, it was enjoyable to put together.

Lol, Luann made a comment about the two "Dirty Girls" at this exact moment!

Lovely fall leaves

 FALL was gorgeous this year.  We really thought that the leaves would dry up and fall off.  However, we must have gotten just enough rain to save that from happening.  We were treated to a showstopper!

Surreal landscape

The sunsets were also quite spectacular.  There were no particular big fires out west that I know of- at least none that made our air smoky.

I am very pleased with this batch of photos.  It was cool to go through and choose them, I hope you enjoy my trip down summer and fall's memory lanes.

Be sure to relive your big and little joys, too!
