Seems that Blog Spot has gotten much more user friendly.... and the pictures you post first stay at the top of the post.... so this posting will be backwards and inside out as I get used to the new system. Seems that spring has finally begun in Wisconsin... everything is green and flowers are beginning to bloom in earnest.

| Annie,Justin and Shotzie came to see us over Mother's Day weekend... Here "the girls" posed for a picture. |

 |
| Annie practiced her culinary skills and "plated" the asparagus |
 |
| Mark prepared cedar planked salmon for dinner... it was delicious, and he bought 2 6ft. cedar planks, so we can have it again! |
 |
| Needless to say Annie loves Gwenny, and Shotzie is a bit jealous! |
 |
| A trip to Wisconsin is never complete without a visit to the Rudolph Cheese Store, and you have to get ice cream... even if it is only 10:30 in the morning! |
