WI to MI

We spent two days in Wisconsin lazing about, chatting with family, and enjoying home cooked food. We drove all day yesterday the north way back into Michigan and got here around 10:30. After dropping off Nothai I went to John & Al's. Tommy two socks was there so we hung out for a bit and had some beers. Before long Alison and I were having a dance party in the kitchen like old times! I'll be here for a bit starting the job search and visiting with friends, then going to Illinois to do the same.

SD to WI

Today we drove all day from South Dakota where we stopped last night (50 miles short of Minnesota), through Minnesota and into Wisconsin. I stopped at an auto shop in Minnesota to have my headlight repaired. I talked to Neil about fixing my spark plug issue on the way down because of some complication that might break the head and cause bigger problems. My car is starting to fall apart. :( I thought of calling some of my Minnesota friends for a short visit, but about a year or so ago I’d lost my phone and didn’t have any of their numbers available. I should have thought that through earlier because I’d have liked to see them.
I have to say a big thanks to Logan and his gaming friends. I’ve been listening to the podcasts while driving and also before falling asleep. Great entertainment - and I can’t wait to be settled somewhere to play too!

We made it finally to my Grandparents in Wisconsin around 8PM. My aunt Natalie and new cousin Jack Zander were there too, what a great surprise!
