In memory of ...

A short time ago, Mama's favorite movie star passed on. Here are memories one friend has about the other.

Barack Obama shares a burger w/ Mama

Pappy was out in the driveway tonight grilling some very nice Target brand (80/20) ground chuck. Guess what happened? The sun went down, and Barack Obama came to visit! And he even brought his own Barack-O-Lantern. Luckily Pappy had his trusty GFC free-bee camera in his back pocket. Here is a nice little video of the surprise visit. (Can anyone say YouTube?)

Good times in Fitchburg

We (well, I know I did) had a very good time in the 'burg tonight. First, Barack Obama visited us (that would be Mama and Katie) via TV. (I was busy.) Next, the Phillies won the World Series (My God, 2 whole times in nearly 130 years. What's next, $0.25 gas? (I remember that!)) And finally Mr. Barack Obama Pumpkin Head came to visit. His approach was slow and calculated, but his finale was hot! Check out the few photos we captured.

Coming soon (or not), our trip to PA .

Will the real Maverick please stand up!

Minni(sota) Mac's were here

Way back in September, Oliver and his Mommy and Daddy came to WI for a visit. The visit was great, the weather was great, but it was just a wee bit cold in Fitchburg. Our 1st killing frost arrived, and of course, the furnace failed to "man up". Needless to say poor little Oliver woke up with toes like ice. The furnace is now fixed, but Oliver's not here. Where's the justice? Hey dude, come on back, the heat is on ....

Several photos and videos document the visit.
