Visitors from Alaska

My Aunt Sophie & her daughter, Therese are visiting Milwaukee for a few days. I decided to join them for a little tour of downtown.



Here they are, along with my aunt Sylvia and cousin, Dolores, standing on the balcony of the Discovery Museum. Skylight of the city behind them.

A prety view of Lake Michigan.

After the museum they wanted to visit and shop at Usingers to buy meats and sausages they don't have available in Anchorage.

After loading up with goodies, we stopped to have our picture taken outside the shop. What a fun time we had. It's always good to see relatives that live so far away.

Introducing...Cactus Bros Band!

They're a little bit country...and a little bit rock 'n roll. Brian & Mike presented a new sound recently at the House of Harley Labor Day Rally!


Brian & Mike harmonizing one of the many familiar songs.

Friend Eric came on stage to do a new rendition of an old tune..sounded quite good.

New member on the left, Sean, Matt, from MC band, and the boys. I really enjoyed listening to them. I think the crowd enjoyed it as well.. Good Luck, guys!

Shaelin on a Harley!

The other day, while Mike was over with Shaelin, Uncle Brian stopped over on his Harley. Of course Shaelin wanted to go for a ride.

Here he is giving the "thumbs up.

It looks like they were both looking out for traffic. They never left the drive-way but Shaelin loved pretending!

Hold on tight!

The make-believe ride was over and Shaelin had a blast!

Happy Birthday, Mike!

For the past 3 or 4 years, we have gone to Benihana's for Mike's birthday dinner. So this year we decided to keep the tradition going.

This was our "personal chef", Enrique, doing his thing to entertain us.

He is really getting into the chopping and dicing and slicing of all the wonderful and delicious food.

The salad was very tasty..in fact the entire meal was quite scrumptious!

After the meal, the waiter took our photo and I must say it turned out quite well. A fun time shared by all!
