Let's See if He Notices

The highlight of my childhood was making my brother laugh so hard that food came out his nose.
Garrison Keillor


This is not my backyard. I live below the snow line. It is my brother's backyard, however. A while back, he sent me this beautiful photo of a Wisconsin's winter day taken from his back porch.

I have three brothers. This particular one still has dial up. Says he's visited my blog, but let's see if he notices his own backyard. Perhaps my mom will give him a head's up. I'll let you know.



I've even added his dog.

Currently on the road with my youngest son. His turn to enjoy a road trip with mom. College visits. Went to AAA before we left to figure out all the site-seeing stops. He is very excited. My computer remains at home, but my book bag rides beside me. Will catch up in a few days. Take good care, everyone.

I love ya, Jord!

  1. Enjoy the ride, Julie. Can't think of a better way to spend time with a child than on a road trip.

  7. I used to really enjoy making my brother laugh so hard he'd blow milk out of his nostrils. Even as an adult I enjoy this simple pleasure....not sure my brother feels the same.

  12. That looks like one very much loved dog in that photograph. I think we all get like that with photos julie - we start out with good intentions but sooner or later they end up in boxes and tins waiting for sorting - but isn't it fun when you do it (if you can remember who is who)!

  13. Have a wonderful adventure. Hope your brother stops by so he can see how much his sister loves him. What a great dog he has!

  14. I love labradors! Has your son visited a campus that feels like home to him yet? I took a cross-country trip with my mother on my way to grad school, but we were nowhere near as organized as you. We picked up the US map and just sort of winged it, asking people in the towns we stopped in what to see and where to go. If nothing else, we met some interesting people along the way!

  15. You need to start telling embarrassing stories about him--THEN you'll hear from him that he reads your blog!
