I have such a thrifty Mom… she even washed her straw from Indiana
and was going to save it for the rest the week!
(as if we Wisconsin people don’t have straw’s… right Franny)
Â
I told my Mom… that NOTHING is to good for her…
and that I will spare no expense for her… and … Hey!!
… use a new straw… everyday if you want!!!
I really know how to spoil my dear mother!
Nothing beats a day out with my mom!!
I had the opportunity to take her to a quilt shop in Crivitz
 
Then we drove to Iron Mountain to do more shopping!!
It was a lot of fun … really… no Really… I really, really … REALLY
enjoyed myself … a lot! 
We had many other adventures on this fun filled day…
…I will have to post/post them later!
(when I recover!)
None of that … ya cant teach an… well you know what I mean!
My mom is a technology wonder… (no really… I wonder!)
She was so happy to learn how to surf the web with a tablet PC!
She did just great… and ended up checking family blogs
a few times throughout the week! It is so much more fun with DSL
And we used the tablet twice in the week
to “Google talk” with the audio chat with Kim in China.
Today the rest of the crew made their way to the thriving metropolis of Dunbar and brought my mom to visit with me.
We had dinner at my apartment for the Mishawaka families.

Its always interesting to hosting large dinner parties in my apartment
But with my sister in town… it makes my job easy!
Even the “late arrivals” had lots of fun!
It is very exciting to see the number of families coming up
every summer for family camp at Northland!
Congratulations “Miss Valedictorian”…I am so proud of you! You really take after your Uncle!!!
Here at 3 months………to the present
Sorry I couldn’t be there for the celebration
