My photo
No longer on the river and, again, an empty nester. Back to living on Fleming Island and making some more friends!

I have Internet!

Your brief break from me is over! Thanks to Justin's idea, I was able to tap into my sister, Jill's, Uverse from her apartment to my mom's. Imagine that! Justin and I can't do that even laterally in our concrete block constructed condo but in this frame structure, no problem! Thanks, Jill! This changes everything! No need now to go to church to work on the newsletter and send it off, can do that right from this kitchen table. I haven't tried the connection yet from the bedroom...

I arrived with no complications into MKE, landing right about 10:30 and collected by my mom and sister, Lynn. We stopped to have an early lunch/late breakfast at Perkins, very near the airport. Gave the two ladies a chance to stretch their legs and use the restroom, as well having our meals. I was hungry since Justin had taken me to the airport at 5:30 in the morning! Only a package of cookies on the plane to hold me over!
As we flew between Chicago and MKE, I took this photo from my plane window. It was a sight like I've never seen before and found it amazing. I even stirred the man next to me (I'm sure he appreciated that!) to look at this amazing view. On the local news tonight I heard a report that 93% of the lake had been iced over which is not typical, but in some areas the ships are at last finally to get back out on the water and working. What a winter! And what a blessing the weather was when I got here, highs in the 40's...you're welcome, Manitowoc!
