Walking to church for a meeting, I was struck by the beauty of the morning and the stillness of the Fox River as it moved under the Lawe Street Bridge. Even the geese, usually foraging for food on the banks, were drawn to the water … perhaps savoring the sweetness of the day before the bitter winds of the winter arrive.

I got happy again!
While Reed is visiting Grammy and Babbo this week, we took him to Bay Beach Amusement Park in Green Bay. He had a wonderful morning, a middling lunch, and then a bit of a scary time on the helicopter. A réprise of the race cars cheered him up enormously. After the ride, he proudly announced, “I got happy again!”
Overall, it’s hard to imagine how $3 spent any other way could bring an equal amount of pleasure.
California Wildfire
Returning from San Francisco to Milwaukee on July 3, as we were crossing over the Sierra Nevada about 30 minutes into the flight, we noticed dramatic smoke plumes to the north. The smoke is streaming east. Despite the dirty plane window and the limited photo quality (iPhone), the photo still offers dramatic testimony of the scale and impact of this fire.
