Good news!

So...the good news is that I have regular internet access at home now which means that I'll be able to post pictures regularly without having to go over to one or more of my family members' households to use their computer and internet. Friggin' sweet, ain't it. :) No more going over and trying to load pictuers and carry on a conversation. No more feeling guilty because I'm not over there just to see, talk and hang out with them but to nazify their computer. I think that'll knock off about a half dozen episodes of unexplained heartburn. :)

Second, I hung out with the hubby and my in-laws over the weekend. Sweetness batman! They live in a peaceful house out in the valley of middle Wisconsin. Prime deer-hunting country, amish inhabit the area and people generally wave at you as you drive by. Kind of like the farm country of where I live in MN.  Here are some pics of their house and their pond and swamp area. (not really a swamp but pretty spongy complete with sink-holes.

the house from the driveway

the landscaping right before the house. new pine trees as a storm a few years ago wiped out the older distinguished trees. Nancy was sad about that.

the newly redone pond. the pond is spring fed. When my husband and his brother were little they would swim and fish down there but after a family of muskrats wrecked the pond there was no water in it. the dnr came out and fixed it so now the pond is completely filled. sweet huh? spring fed, crystal clear.

the deck of the house,extends around on two sides complete with wooden, comfy furniture even if it doesn't look it.

ahh, the money shot, me and the hubby after a couple days of canoodling. :) if you look closely he's actually happy but doesn't show it well, he prefers the strong mean-looking type.
