THE SHOW MUST GO ON IN MADISON



The business website BUSINESS INSIDER has named La Crosse the second "most exciting city" in the USA, right behind Hoboken, New Jersey.

This won't be popular with the folks in La Crosse but I gotta tell you...I've lived in a lot of small cities in my lifetime and I can assure you that La Crosse is FAR from the second most exciting city in the country.
.Duane says Rapid City has 5 inches of snow over ice.

Lynne says it's much worse around Janesville.
 
"
Schools around here are closed and our driveway is a sheet of ice but looks like salt on the road.   Lucky for Bob as no knee therapy today.  


All schools are closed for miles around and we are predicted many inches of snow coming.  


We had planned to go to see Mom tomorrow with Derrick and Jennifer but they can’t even get here.  Could be several inches of snow coming tomorrow and Sunday."




It's after 11:00 A.M. and they're still scraping ice off the windows in the parking lot.

Meanwhile, down on the Texas spread, Donnie says they'll be sitting outside with temperatures in the low 70's today.

Grrrrrrrrr.
 
LOVE THIS!

A new store has opened at the Crossroads Center in Onalaska.  Games by James featuresJamesboard games, jigsaw puzzles, and a lot of other fun game products you won't find anyplace else.
 
That's what I need!  A jigsaw puzzle to pass the time on these nasty winter days.
TODAY IS SANGRIA DAY
The United States got its first taste of Sangria at the Worlds Fair in New York in 1964.  They've been drinking it in Europe for hundreds of years.

You might want to serve this at your Christmas party.  It should be a favorite in the Coulee Region because it has brandy in the recipe.

Here's how to make it.

A COMMENT FROM DONNIE
"Your blog has a picture of Amsterdam, and the claim we are from there. This is a more accurate image of our roots, rural Friesland."


A thought just hit me.  Having lived so many years on the plains of South Dakota and having family blood back to the old country, it's no wonder that I only feel comfortable on the "flat land".
 
FESTIVE PARIS
