2023, Outward

Well, oh yes, this is simply a year-out post to the year 2023 and is a welcoming to, you’ve guessed it, the following year. This post will also reveal some things I just see ahead for the new year…

Au Revoir, Aunt Sandy

Yes, this post is indeed dedicated and is a tribute to my beloved maternal aunt, Sandra, who did pass away just a few days ago, when she was only 57. Aunt Sandy was both my mom and my other aunt, Sue’s, younger sister. My father, brothers, and I had not actually seen her since my grandmother, Lainie’s, funeral service trip, one decade ago in June (she passed away on May 2nd of that year). Yeah, it is normal to not see your aunts that often, yet mom, on the other hand, still had indeed seen her since then. Poor Sandy […]

Bowling Up Buildings

Yeah, in earlier posts, I have considered how building have gotten demolished and replaced with newer tenant ones. However, in THIS post, I will consider TWO such events occurring.

A Departing Off The Old Block

Well, this actually was posted 8 years ago, so you perhaps do not remember it, but in an old post of mine, I considered the Calvary Lutheran Church getting replaced with an apartment building named The Element. THIS one will consider a very similar situation that actually occurred on the same street, but at a corner. Now, what actually got replaced with an apartment building HERE was a former funeral home. It was first built as an Italianate house in 1873 (this year would have been its 150th anniversary). Well, that building actually had a Then, one day in September […]

A Darkened Sky Park…Twice

Have you ever headed out for a stargazing trip? Whether it was a solo trip, or with your family or anyone else you know at all? Well, my father and I have done so, twice, not too long ago, even if the skies were not that great for it both times… Ellison Bay, Wisconsin is located further up past the city of Green Bay, near the tip of Wisconsin’s northeast pointing strip (if you are not aware of what I mean, I fairly simply suggest peaking at the state on a there map or it as a clipart image). In […]
