               While in Wisconsin, I got to spend a little time re-connecting with some family history:

identifying the family tree file



I also got to see the house my grandma and grandpa lived in for as long as I could remember.
It has been refurbished and is a beautiful example of so many victorian homes in this area

the white house on the right, now a separate residence, was originally the carriage house
 the vintage fence was found in the basement by the new owners and re-installed
