OK, so nothing all that exciting to report today, but now that Mom's got an ipad she expects regular updates here! Who knew regular access to the internets for her would result in more work for me??? Anyhoo, since there's nothing new, here's something old. OK, not that old. In September the family went to Uncle Fred & Uncle Glenn's house in the north woods of WI for the burial of my Gran. Some pictures:
My prop plane to Duluth
Sisters on the beach
Butterfly on the beach. There were several monarchs that clearly didn't start the migration in time to get south before the cold. It was sad, but this one in particular. Something about the partial burial in the sand evoked an image from WWII of soldiers on some tiny island in the Pacific dead and half buried like this. If you've seen Ken Burns' "The War", you know just what I'm talking about. If you haven't, you really should watch it.
