Another Sisters Weekend took place Oct. 3-5. We met in Green Bay, Wisconsin. We were all able to squeeze into my Prius so we left two cars in a parking lot and drove up to Door County. We stayed in the Wagon Trail Inn. On Saturday we walked around Gills Point, Sisters Bay and Ellison Bay. We had a lot of fun just being together.... read more

We passed through some more storms on this leg of the journey and just missed the 4:30 tour. We went to Lambeau Field for dinner at Curly's. The stadium looks really nice.... read more

Green Bay - Detroit - Narita Int'lWell, we're back to Green Bay after an exhausting pack-move-unpack. Two weeks from now we'll be in Minami Alps.

It will be the experience of our lifetimes, but we hope to share it with our friends and families.... read more

The afternoon of Sunday, December 17th was unseasonably warm in Green Bay and made for an excellent day as the Packers played host to the Lions. Unfortunately for me, the Packers ended up defeating the Lions in this game. I always cheer against the Packers, being from Minnesota and a Vikings fan. Following the game I could overhear countless conversations, all relating to speculation of Brett Favre's possible retirement following this season. Personally I really don't care at all whether Brett Favre retires or not. I was just happy to spend the afternoon outdoors watching the game. The worst part about living in Milwaukee and going to Packer's games in Green Bay is that fact that Milwaukee is not far enough from Green Bay to justify an overnight stay in a hotel, but it is far ... read more
