Well, certainly I have chatted about restaurants in earlier posts, although have you ever dined at one located in an airport? If you have, then perhaps it was one of those larger city ones. However, did you also know that there can be smaller airports (you know, ones that are mainly used by smaller propeller-driven planes) can have such restaurants as well? That is right, and my father and I have eaten at one such smaller airport restaurant a few times. First of all, where is airport simply is? It is southwest of Janesville and north of Beloit in Wisconsin, […]
It’s A Wonderful New Life
Well hey, today is my sister-in-law’s birthday, so at least I able to say that to her on that day now, other than it being early or belated! In addition, her daughter Marguerite (my loving niece), better known as Rita, was born on April 1, 2023. Her father is also my older brother, Aidan. Rita’s middle name comes from her late grandmother’s first name and the late Aunt Sandy’s middle name as well. Also, in November, she managed to say her first ever word: “Hello.” I also recently gave her my old crab rattle for a holiday present. And man, […]
Au Revoir, Aunt Sandy
Yes, this post is indeed dedicated and is a tribute to my beloved maternal aunt, Sandra, who unfortunately passed 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 […]
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 place that ended up having 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 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 […]
Better Lake Than Never
First things first, I have just been into separate internet things once more as I had been when I typed up my 10th Anniversary, and I am just continuing fresh from here now. So yeah, I largely apologize for all of that as well, but, I truly will get going on a weekly post each Saturday through Wednesday now, so Hakuna Matata. Anyway, remember that “Lake or Marsh” post I typed up nearly two years ago? Well, unfortunately, the lakes now have only PARTIALLY returned to how they initially were. Just how that is so? Well, I would be indeed […]
10th Anniversary Post
Yes, this post’s title is accurate, my website first launched and had its first ever post (a tiny, introductory one) published exactly one decade ago today! Now, I believe just at least ONE of you would like a tale on how my website was all formed. And I believe this post is exactly the correct one to consider that on… At some point in the early 2010s, as I had been liking other children’s websites earlier, my dad actually suggested giving me a website of my own. He considered posting games and other stuff like that on it. Although the […]
Citgo to Casey’s
You remember how two posts ago, I considered how business are able to go through name and owner change? Well, I will consider just another situation like that in THIS post as well… Until just a couple years ago, there were two Citgo fuel stations in my community (similar to the future two Kwik Trips). One was located on Main street, just across the road from Wal-Mart. The other was also on Main street, but on the inverse side of town, not far at all from the elementary school which I attended. The convenience stores and fuel were both fine. […]
Dollar Post
Of course, a type of business can exit a community as one store, but it is not impossible it to return is another, depending on how the conditions for it are then. And yes, I will consider that for this post, with an example, like with my previous one. Remember that Dollar Tree store I considered years ago that got replaced with an anytime fitness? Well, a similar department will be opening to the left of the first Whitewater Kwik Trip. Only that will not be another Dollar Tree or a Family Dollar, but a Dollar General. I went into […]
Automobile Tale
Suppose your family has owned different automobiles through the years. In my family’s case, while we owned three cars from the time of my birth, for nearly the past decade and a half we have currently owned just two at a time. A couple of those three cars were both Chevrolet Blazers, just painted in different color schemes, one with sunset gold, the other with green. The final was a black Saturn SL2. Sadly, we first lost the green Blazer in the early summer of 2007, when it simply became too old and no longer worked. The same thing occurred […]
