So, the maternal grandfather was born and grew-up in a tiny place.
Morgan Township, Oconto County, Wisconsin.
Parents were German Immigrants.
Farmers.
Hard-workers.
Grandpa was the only one of the many children that left the area really.
The oldest brother, Albert inherited the farm.
Raised his family there.
My mom used to go and visit her cousins every summer on the farm.

Fast forward a generation or two and we still have cousins in the same place.
When Laura announced her engagement,
Lynae and I decided it would be the perfect time to plan another trip.
We must be insane for deciding to go to Wisconsin in January!
We flew into Milwaukee and then rented a car to drive up to the Wahl place in Morgan.
Lynae -of course- did all the driving.
Of course we had to go shopping and the closest place to do that would be Green Bay.
And, I couldn't be in Green Bay without paying homage to the
GREEN BAY PACKERS!
Temp. 2 degrees. No gloves, no hat. Frozen.
The wedding day was perfect. Laura looked gorgeous!
It was great to meet her husband, Kurt.
The reception was wonderful.
Good food.
Good music.
Dancing (really missed Aaron)
and best of all great company!

I couldn't leave without getting a picture of me by the Wahl Lane sign.
For 130-140 years, my family has been living right here in Morgan.
I'm so glad I had the chance to visit again.
