Cindy Anderson's Poetry

I became aware of Cindy's booklet of poetry at the April event in Milwaukee. Later I got several copies from her that I have given to special friends. Cindy's work is wonderful and very meaningful for all of us. I encourage you to contact Jim and Cindy to get your copy.

Hate these summer colds and fevers

Good evening everyone! I know from reading different blogs both on BTRO's website and on BLOGS from fellow BTRO members who also belong to FACEBOOK we are all battling allergies and summer illnesses. The 5 of us "Uhl-Walkers" went to Branson, Missouri a couple of weeks ago on our Yearly vacation. Poor little Emma Gene spent most of the vacation in BED with a high FEVER.

Cedarburg Flags

Thursday, May 21, 2009, Webster Transitional School in Cedarburg, Wisconsin held its annual Flag ceremony to honor all the Wisconsin soldiers who have been killed in Iraq and Afghanistan. The students raise a flag for each soldier, and all of the students place individual flags at the base of the the large flag. There are three photos of the flags in an album on our page. It is a touching ceremony put together by some wonderful teachers.

We were lucky that Earl splurged for Preferred parking… Continue
