I recently took a little vacation and went to Wisconsin to visit my parents and grandparents. I grew up in Michigan, but when my parents retired, they moved to Wisconsin. My grandmother grew up in this little town, one of many kids of an Irish farming family. Pretty much everyone in the town is cousins of each other and know each other. It's a very small town - a little over four hundred people. The great thing, for me, though, is that my parents and grandparents literally live next door to each other so I get to see them all when I visit. My grandfather is Italian and one day while I was there they had me over for homemade ravioli - they make everything from scratch, even the pasta. It was wonderful! My grandparents are also amazing and inspiring people - my grandfather is in his 90s but he still gets up and does about 15-20 minutes on his stationary bicycle every morning to keep moving!

I posted a blog with lots of photos on my MySpace page, so if you'd like to check them out follow this link:
