Postcard -

Sorry I don't have photo-editing software on this computer so I can't change the size of this picture to make it better to see, but you can click on it to enlarge and see it better. Wisconsin with Rob's family was an amazing time for all of us. Rob's aunt and uncle are farmers and have this huge operation - almost 5000 acres of corn, wheat and soybean - and they've made it the family business so their oldest son and all of his kids have a role in the business. They took us out to the fields to see how corn starts, the fertilizing of it, cultivating of it, and then we went to the big silos and saw uncle Bruce load it into the big rig and drive it off to market. Truly an education for the kids. D also got bucked by a goat *gasp* one of those "remember the time" moments.

We got in to Pennsylvania last night after a long day of trekking through Wisconsin, Ohio, Illinois, Indiana and then here. And this morning we're off to Manhattan. Manhattan - only ever seen it in movies and on the television. Cannot wait to see that skyline!

Hope you're having a great week!
