Our Milwaukee Tour

Visited a cool store - American Surplus and Supply - lots of neat stuff, Then down to the lakefront, walked around between the Discovery museum and the Art museum. After walking around we went for a picnic in Wirth Park in Brookfield....

A Moving Update...

Called PODS.COM - They came close enough to the U-Haul quote, that we are going to let them drive our stuff east. It means a few changes:
1 - Drop of first box 6/9 - so we can offload and return the local box in the driveway
2 - Drop off other two boxes 6/12
3 - Will pick up all three 6/15 to deliver on or after 6/22
4 - We can drop off Bunga/Dave/Butterscotch Tuesday
5 - and caravan the Durango and probably the RV back to CT.

They can store our stuff, if our Home is still unavailable. We should also have the opportunity to clean and prepare the house.

This week in Wisc.

1) Family is coming out to Wisconsin this weekend. Rented a bigger room, now to figure out what we'll do - thinking Jelly Belly factory tour, Milwaukee Zoo, would have gone to a Brewers game but it's pretty booked up.

2) Three weeks until we're out of Minnesota. Grew to love the landscape - but it was pretty flat. Great sunsets as well - and I like wild rice. Will miss ERUMC and the half dozen families we grew close to.

3) Anyone want to buy an RV? We have an offer on the Minnesota House - but would welcome a better offer. And need to move out our squatters in CT (they're not renters, so....)

a List

http://rulesformyunbornson.tumblr.com/

I don't often post lists - But I like this one, a set of thoughts to be past on to your boys....

Updates...

1) D.'s party was a success, Wings, Star wars movies, sword fights - an average 13 year old's sleepover.
2) S. is working, yardwork.
3) There is an offer on the Mn. House! And another showing tonight.
4) Picnic tonight(3pm), Picnic Tomorrow(2pm), Picnic Monday.
5) The eviction problem drags on. Umpa went as my agent to court, and the clerk wouldn't speak to him. Went to get a power of atty. letter done at the bank - and needed two of my own witnesses! So the professional route is next.

Running out of time though... Three weeks to shipping out.

Big news - S. is working at Camp Workcoeman this summer!

Mid-Week

Went to Miller Park last night, saw the Brewers take on the Marlins. Lots of homers, and better pitching late. Still need to deal with the squatters, and motivating the Minnesotans to pack. Need to take the next steps with the Bantam Courthouse for the House.

Rumors of THE DE job becoming available, but I can't take it without some help - can not live on that salary alone.

No worries Dad.
And most importantly - Birthdays Ahoy! Dinner at Forest Gumps in MOA Friday night.

News - NEWS!

So, we've reserved a pair of 26' trucks from UHaul for June 15th. We will fill them, and drive them and the Durango back to Torrington. This depends on the Prospect St. house being empty and available by them.

I expect to fly from Millwaukee to Minneapolis, pack, drive and unpack in CT - and fly back to Milwaukee. The job in Kohls is going well, I feel I'm doing a good job, but don't see a permenant position soon enough - so off goes the family.
