LISA IN WISCONSIN

Lisa is home in Madison, till New Years

I went to her service at Grace Church and

did Communion at the early service there.

Lisa did part of both services for Grace while

back here for the week. Grace Church is

in Madison and did sponsor her in Divinity

School.

TRAVEL IN WISCONSIN WINTER

Waste Disposal Truck. One of my jobs is digging

all the ice and snow out from in front of Dumpsters so they can wheel the dumpster

HOBBIES I ENJOY

No, I dont collect stamps. I think they are
interesting tho. This single stamp?

Do you realize we have been flying for only
100 years?












This is a puzzle I made for
Mathpuzzle.
I have solved a number of the puzzles on that
site and communicated with Ed Pegg Jr. (the
site creator) over the years.





Puzzle: Given 16 squares

9 with single diagonal
3 with double diagonal
4 blank

Make one large square with 5 lines,
all lines border to border.

Baseball. Brewers Baseball. They gave out
Ted Simmons bobbleheads for the game.
The 2007 season started out pretty good,
then went flat. Always enjoyable watching
them in the new stadium.














The Eternity II puzzle, 256 square pieces.
Put them together so that edges match.
I am writing a program to solve it.

I have been painting for about 8 years.
This one is called "Sandy Point", a sand
island in the Mississippi. However, I did
not work from a photo.









Scrabble game with someone called Myles50.
I am Cruisin. If you are on WordBiz, you will
find me there.
I am the blue player here. With a couple
Bingos. Pam also plays on this site quite a
bit.





Here is my camera. (I borrowed this
picture.) It has a auto function, and is
easy for the whole family to use.
Yet, takes pretty good pictures and zooms
up to 40x.

CHRISTMAS EVE IN WISCONSIN

This is Day before Christmas and looks like I am

not home! I am picking up Stacey and we are going to Dave's in Poynette.

Watertower on Highway 51, on the way to

Poynette. Still some ice on the road. Getting close to Sunset.

Here is Dale, Brianna and Danielle.
We are going to open presents soon.












Stacey and Jaden passed out the presents. My
massaging boots for Pam were a big hit. Everyone tried them on.
Beth put together another Christmas Scrapbook,
quite a bit of work. Said she went through two
ink cartridges printing them out.
Two dogs running around during all this. They
were very interested in the food.

Here are Dad's Grandchildren. A couple are married.
