We headed to my parents house in Wisconsin for Thanksgiving 2012.    The crew that made it this year included Grandma, Cindy, Mom & Dad, Connie & Merle, Andrew & DeAnna, Kelly & Dan & Duke, Kathy & Lisa, and Kevin and myself.

Ok, I'll admit I'm not a die hard Madonna fan, but she's a music icon and when she came to town last month, a group of 12 gals from work decided to buy concert tickets and make a fun night out.    We had decent tickets for the show when we found out we had won a sweepstakes (that we didn't know we had even entered).   We won two additional tickets, and they weren't just front row tickets, they were Golden Triangle tickets!  This is a special area that is actually inside the stage.  Britt and I were fortunate enough to go down the the Golden Triangle where we were 5 feet from Madge herself!

Whether you like her or not, the woman can sing!  She can also put on a show!  She's in her 50's and this woman has more energy than a teenager.      Overall a fun night with some great ladies!

Saturday, December 08, 2012 Fall 2012

Backtracking to October...  Dominick came with me to work where we host our annual Fall Festival for  the community.   He helped volunteer while we gave away over 800 pumpkins to the community as well as treat bags, donuts, cider, and coffee.  We also collected food shelf donations.   Dominick was so helpful, as he'd make sure the pumpkins were all lined up and organized as well as handing out treat bags to the little ones.  It's a nice way to give back to the community as well as a fun Saturday morning.
