Wisconsin, My Destination



Wisconsin winters can be the most beautiful...

...and the most treacherous!
Why am I going this time of year? Our aging parents need us.
It'll be a wonderful time of reminiscing and always
laughing, as our family looks back with fond memories. I leave Tuesday
early a.m. for Phoenix Sky Harbor and changing planes in
Chicago, then my final destination is Green Bay.
White Lake, WI Weather at this moment is -2 !!
Eeeekkkkk! Brrrrrrrr! Shiver!

  1. Safe travels to you. I live on the WI/IL border in Rockford, so I know what the winters are like.

    Savor the moments....

  2. You are going to be so close!!! Live just outside of Minneapolis. I do have to say, it is going to be cold here this weekend, so bundle up! Just think sunny thoughts, and the cold just goes away. I swear, it works...

    Wisconsin is beautiful anytime of the year... I know your sister had beautiful photos to share with us. You will love being back to pretty snowfalls...

    If you were to get bored, and are close to MN, just give me a holler.
    Take care, have a wonderful trip, hope your parents are well, it's so tough watching the aging process. I am sad my dad is not going to be playing broom ball with us this winter. My kids have the best memories of playing broom ball with grandpa. I am thankful for those, but still hate to think of my dad as not being young anymore. (can't say the o word...)

  10. Sure is beautiful to look at... I recall Pa. winters being like that.. Here in Oklahoma, they aren't anywhere near that bad, but are definately bad enough for everyone who lives and travels around here to have lots of problems.. since alot of the people who live here are not used to having and living with all that snow on a winter fulltime basis..like I did back in Pa.

    We are thinking about traveling to Phoenix, AZ the middle of next month..to visit with our daughter and our middle son who will also be visiting his sister there.. We are thinking about driving there.. Just taking a couple days driving time, for us to get there and back home again... It's about a 14 hour drive or so away from here, and if we break the driving time up into a couple days, it won't be so bad I don't think..

    Have a safe trip, stay warm and enjoy and have a wonderful visit with your family..

    Blessings,
    ~Lynn

  20. Hurray for you! I understand totally. Doesn't it warm your heart to know that we're helping our parents when they really need it. (Sometimes being there is all we can do, but that is still important). Hope your trip was wonderful.
