Okay really!  This doesn’t look like a 90 year old grandma. Well of course, that is because she isn’t. She’s only 89 and a half. The big event this summer in Door County was clearly the celebration of my mother’s 90th birthday.  Granted, it doesn’t occur until January, but she decided to go ahead and […]

Last weekend our good friends Beth and John invited us to their family lake cabin in celebration of John’s birthday.  The cabin is on Red Cedar Lake, near Birchwood, Wisconsin.
