An Awesome View of Life

End of the trip. Our 3rd annual Wisconsin Dells Girls' Trip came to an end today. We have a tradition of stopping in Sparta, WI for some vintage clothes shopping at  Wild Woman's Clothing .  We love all the wonderful things Pat has in her shop. Normally we are on our way home on a weekday and we stop at the Monroe County History Center to dig through genealogy records and then we head back downtown for lunch. But it was just shopping and lunch today. Our favorite lunch spot is  Ginny's Cupboard . Great service, great sandwiches and wonderful antiques. Another great trip with my great daughters.  Looking forward to our next trip.

Ho Chunk Nation Wasira Tonight my beautiful daughters got to be part of the Ho Chunk Wasira (dance) at the  Ho Chunk Casino .   Keia danced with the youngest member.  He was so adorable when he came and asked her to dance.  Mandi was asked to dance by the "Fancy Dancer."  They were both very honored to participate. Sorry these photos are more than a bit blurry but they were moving really fast and I think if I had moved further back I could have gotten better photos but it was a fun evening.

BLUE. Bird. House. with a view... Below is the view from this cute little bird house, painted blue. As you all know these hills sing my name, speak to my soul.  I totally understand why so many of my ancestors settled in this part of our country.
