From California to Wisconsin
Where to start? This is my first blog post ever. EVER! How about a little background on me? I’m a native Californian who has lived in metro Milwaukee, Wisconsin for the last 18 years. It was quite a change, coastal CA to snowy WI in December, 1990. It snowed 13” two days after we arrived, I was afraid it was normal to have that much snow every few days. Whew, it’s not!!
Our son’s first day at his new school was a Snow Day, a first for our CA kid. WI kids are hardy, they grow up to be sturdy, can-do-it adults. Dealing with “weather” is character building, and I’m so glad we made the move here to raise our son among these great people!
I’ll never forget a -30 degree day when he was in middle school. We lived in the country then and it was 120’ from our back door to the barn our car was in. That’s it in the sunset pic. We were about 10 minutes into our drive to school when I told him, “You’ve not once mentioned that it’s cold today, but if one of your CA friends was here, he’d be back in our driveway frozen to death.”
If you’re thinking of a move “up nort’ dere,” I can tell you it was a great move for us. It strengthened us as a family and as individuals. I’ve loved being here, I’ll always be glad we made this move. And I haven’t even mentioned how beautiful it is here, how generous & warm-hearted the native Wisconsinites are or how each day is different from the one before! I guess I may have something for my 2nd post! Drop back by, won’t you? :-)
