A Pic of Big Grandma

This is my paternal Grandmother and Joe Brocki, Grandpa's best friend. Years later Joe's wife Rose would be my Dad's Godmother.

The First Bike Ride of the Year!

Smiley and I took the first Team Slap bike ride of 2017 today - on February 20th!!! - biking to and from my mother-in-law's apartment,a round trip of 4.4 miles. Alas, she wasn't home! Lol. A great ride to kick off the year!

The hip is hurting a bit from the bike ride, but it's totally worth it. Today was a good day.

Happy Birthday Kurt

 Kurt Cobain would have been 50 years old today. RIP good sir.

Soooooo True

 

A Nice Walk with my Kiddos

Smiley, Junie and I set out on a walk to enjoy the weather today. We walked to and from the Family Dollar store, meandering a bit along the route.

Me and Smiley long ago

 

Norma McCorvey, aka Jane Roe

Norma McCorvey, the woman who was the anonymous plaintiff in  Roe v Wade, the 1973 SCOTUS case that decided that individual state laws banning abortion were unconstitutional, has died at 69.

RIP 

Yeah, No

"During cooking, bats may emit strong odors reminiscent of urine. This may be reduced by cooking with added garlic, onion, chili pepper or beer." - Wikipedia. 

Ummm, maybe that's nature's way of saying "Eat something else you jackass."

Summer?

February 18th. Milwaukee, WI. Normal high: around 33. Today's high: 68. If this is global warming, I'll take it.

This Man Belongs in Heaven

 

St Auggie's Fish Fry

 I'm having trouble expressing how happy - how Milwaukee - I feel as I enjoy a great fish fry in a church basement. I opted for the baked fish, as you can see. The basement filled up within minutes of us sitting down.

Easter Wreaths

Lisa made these for my Mom, at her request. The pictures, honest and truly, don't do the work justice. My Mom was very grateful.
