  • Back to the Bungalow

    We lived here over ten years (our longest stay). This was a great Bungalow with a number of fun spaces in the house. Like other houses, the garage was on the alley, but it had a whole workspace on the 2nd floor of the garage. Kathleen made the gardens a showplace and a “way-station” for…

  • We Barely Remember This House

    We liked this house, the garden, the block, the garage on the alley. What we didn’t see when we were making the purchase is that the house next door was lit up more than a baseball stadium. It is not an exaggeration to say that we didn’t need lighting at night in our house. When…

    We have lived a lot of places–this one fits in the middle somewhere. We had a lot of snow that year. It’s been a long time since I’ve seen that much snow at home. (Whitefish Bay, 1999)

  • When you are young you do wonderful, yet silly things. Why we thought owning two hound dogs was a good idea, I will not know–and yet we did. Betty the Beagle, and Rob the Hound Dog, were quite the pair. (Whitefish Bay, 2002)

  • It’s All Fun and Games Until. . .

    Until somebody winds up in the conehead. I can’t remember which ailment Bella was in confinement about. (Whitefish Bay, Wisconsin, 2010)
