Summer 2013
A photographic record of whatever leapt out at us
With retirement finally gaining a good solid grip, it's time to relax and watch life go by. At home, but especially in northern Wisconsin again -- with kids, grandkid, and excellent old friends.
You may not find this terribly rewarding unless you're included here, so this is a good time for casual and random browsers to turn back before they get too caught up in the sweep and majesty of the proceedings and can't let go.
