We drove all the way to Brookfield (just outside of Milwaukee, where I grew up) on Sunday. We stayed in a hotel and the girls swam and had fun.
We had a quick breakfast and then I took everyone on the tour. We went to my old grade school--it used to be Milwaukee Christian--even though we were in Brookfield but they have changed the name--and expanded the building and got a new mascot! We got a tour of the new school from the principal who is an uncle to one the girls I went to school with. His niece is Sue Brasser--or Sue B. as I know her! He said he also knew Sue T., whose husband is principal in Oostburg, and now he's met me so he's seen all three of the Sue's-who he called legendary! (I guess it is quite unusual to have 3 Sues in a class of 8-10 kids who went to school together from K-8th grade and then on to high school together!)
Then I took them to my old house. Here we see a car parked next to the garage, just like we did...
except our car looked like this...
My brother Dan had this car parked next to the house while he was on his bike trip around the U.S. which took about 2 years (with a break of a few months for him to work so he could buy another bike after his was stolen.) I had quite a few kids ask me if I lived in the house with the Zebra car.Then we met one of my high school friends at a mall. This is Cori and I now--I'm still looking for the album of our pictures from high school. We had fun catching up. She got to meet my girls and I will meet her boys some day! We rehashed our old high school memories...
including torturing this teacher...we called her Bubbles...or maybe she tortured us, I'm not quite sure.
Anyway, it was fun and then we were off to the Dells...
