I was working on this post here and there this evening only to find out
some how I published a very rough draft. Ugh! Embarrassing I hope no one saw it!
This is my real post *grins, with a red face*

Where in the world am I?
My small portion of the world is central Wisconsin USA and I love it!
I was born in Madison, the state capital.
My family moved away when I was in high school.
I have lived in a few other places (Iowa, Illinois, Maryland and Virginia).
But I was so happy to return to Wisconsin, settle down and start a family. Wisconsin is very agricultural, so most of the state is covered with farms,
and woods, but we have a bit of everything. You name it...Wisconsin has it.
At the bottom, I included links to a bunch
of interesting things about Wisconsin.
While growing up, the tourism motto was "Escape to Wisconsin", I thought it described the area perfect. I don't think there is anyplace else I'd rather live. Of course I want to travel, but with the knowledge that I can always come home to Wisconsin. Sappy huh!

Some of my family's favorite places or things to do....
Madison-all around great town for everything! We love walking around in our state capital building, Henry Vilas Zoo, Thrift stores (Goodwill on the east side and St Vinnies on Williamson) and the Learning Shop toy store on the west side. And art fairs!
The geology of Wisconsin is beautiful. As a child I was fascinated on how our state was scoured by the last series of ice age glaciers.
The Milwaukee Public Museum- The kids especially liked the butterfly pavilion and the old world area.
Jurrustic Park in Marshfield
Wisconsin Cheese! I recommend the cheese Factory in Rudolph
Spreckers brand pop----(I never call it soda!) I recommend Rav'n Red or Ginger Ale
Rocky Rococo's Sausage and Mushroom Pizza
Funset Boulevard in Appleton---Games, movies, pizza, laser tag, carousel, tons of fun kids stuff
Fishing on the Wisconsin River
Deer Park in the Dells
Wisconsin Dells Jet Boat Ride--total blast!!!!

I love the heat of the summer and the snow in the winter. My favorite is autumn, there are festivals, pumpkin patches, hot apple ciderand beautiful vistas.
I'm excited as my kids when we get our first snowfall!
This isn't a photo of our first snowfall but pretty either wayWhatever the season...On Wisconsin!!!!!
