The Mayor's Response to the Riots
From the Mayor:
The City of Milwaukee has declared a state of emergency in response to the unlawful and violent actions that occurred last night. An emergency curfew has been ordered for the entire City of Milwaukee from May 30 at 9 p.m. until May 31 at 7 a.m. Everyone must cease vehicular and pedestrian travel on public way, streets, sidewalks and highways and return to their homes, places of work or other convenient places. Government, social services, and credentialed press acting in their official capacity are exempt from this order. Violation of curfew will lead to arrest and a fine of $691.
Space X
The world of the here and now might seem bleak. But today an important step was taken for the future of the human race, should we ever pull our act together.

Agreed
#THIS (note: to clarify, as he explained later, he means the police who were watching, not the civilian bystanders)

For Free
2 rolls of super pretty different sized orange, pink and green butterflies. They would be great for a kids room or an art project (scrapbooking) It used to have blue but those were used.
They aren’t super sticky so glue or tape might be needed. But I do have popcorn drywall so they may stick better to flat walls : ) - Lulu

The Baker
Her Great-Grandma Pickett would be proud. Junie has learned to bake different breads, cookies and pasta all from scratch during quarantine. They would have had such a good time together. ❤️ We won’t mention how much weight we’ve all collectively gained because of her new hobby.
A Miestone
Today is the day OJ has become the shortest of our four kids, with LK officially taller now. LuLu was holding out hope, but alas today that hope dies 🤣. YaYa...she’s coming for you. ❤️ I wonder if LK will make it to my height or if Smiley will make it to Dani’s height 🤔

Berry Boi
Hello!
My name is : Huckleberry Covid Slapczynski
My nicknames are: Huckle, Huck, Berry Boi, and The Huck or The Berry
***edit 6/1: I’m a bodacian! Half Dalmatian, half border-collie!
My age: I’m 7 months and this is my 4th month with my family! My birthday is November 27th!
Where did my family find me?: I was found by my forever family at MADACC. They went to look for a senior dog but were pulled in by my puppy eyes and took me home.
My favorite human food: I eat anything my parents give me! I love cheddar biscuits and bacon for sure! But MEAT 
My biggest fear: my sister Angel. She is blind but she always seems to know where to find me!
My favorite thing to do: run at full speed through my backyard. I run so fast I sometimes forget there is a fence! Destroying my stuffed animals 
isn’t bad either. I say that goose, lemur, squirrel, hedgehog, lion and fox just weren’t made very well. My family says they won’t buy me anymore, but yeah right!

Where do I sleep?: I sleep with one of my siblings on their beds most nights but you can always find me in momma’s bed or passed out on the living room floor!
Do I love car rides?: I love them. I stick my head out the window so I can feel the breeze. Once I’m tired I take a nap in the backseat.
Do I snore?: nope!

So many good memories. Gimbal’s basement with my grandma, Arthur treachers with my dad, chi-chi’s with Boston store co-workers. Blockbuster with Dan as young parents. Ah, good times! - Lisa

Congrats
Delayed because of Covid and a few other hurdles but Dan received this news today:
The Board of Bar Examiners has established that you have the requisite character and fitness needed to practice law in Wisconsin and has received certification of your legal competence from the Dean of your law school. You are therefore admitted to the Wisconsin Bar.
He was also sent a temporary certificate because the usual ceremony with all its pomp and circumstance in Madison has been cancelled.
Congratulations babe! So proud! One more step...

I find it hilarious that the Covid protesters, who scream "Liberty!" and decry the Government "trampling on their Rights,' scream in horror - without any irony - at the DMV's decision to accept parental waivers in lieu of road tests. Now I disagree with the DMV too, but um, why Yon Protestor, are you now in favor of the State overturning the decision of a PARENT, and advocating the government be allowed to license and regulate a right to travel?

An Opinion
Can I just say again how much I don’t like video games? Heard of yet another person trying to get help/attention for themselves and their kids and failing because of the games draw. I’ve never had to compete against a toy and I’m so thankful for that! Dan ❤️ Young ladies, find a man with hobbies, one who likes to go outside, one who’d thumbs aren’t all locked up. Men with real friends not virtual friends. So pathetic fr. - Lisa
On Stores Now Gone

Popeye's
Our family finally tried the Popeyes chicken sandwich. We wouldn’t fight anyone over it but 3 out of 4 of us that tried it think it WAS worth the hype. - Lisa

The Covid Lockdown Continues
Happy Day 46 - Lisa 
From our friend Sybil in Scotland: Keep safe. We have still not been told to wear masks...There might be mention next Thursday when we have a review of the law to keep us in lockdown. There’s talk of a slight change we might be asked to wear masks on public transport or anywhere there might be many people around...Not many people want to wear them we think another three weeks in partial isolation would do no harm...
