Dear Old Dad

Dad and I are chipping away at this book. 140 pages, no plot and no character development, but a fantastic outline and many days enjoying 'research tangents'.

Pool opening in Wisconsin weather

Wisconsin weather is nothing to brag about. 100 inches of snow last winter left the pool cover at my folks' place heavy with water. Our family got together to have a communal work day. Severe thunderstorms and tornado watches aside, we got that cover off. The best part was this cake designed by my nephew's wife.
