My mom came to visit this week. After three days of my sleeping on the floor (because she had my bed and my cousin had my futon), I convinced her to go to a hotel. My reasoning was that they have air-conditioning. And I would be more pleasant if I weren't sleeping on the floor. (I have beautiful hard wood floors. Beautiful to look at; not beautiful to enjoy via your back.)
I am not sure if Mom had a good time here in Milwaukee. I was very busy so we didn't spend a ton of time together. I worked on the weekdays, because I'm saving my vacationtime for a trip home in July. And I had to continue my house-hunt as the deadline looms. She was invited to come on both house-hunting trips but decided against it. (I am so thankful for this as I don't think she will like the neighborhood to which I am moving.) And it was hot, which she talked about frequently.
However, we did go to the Lakefront Brewery for its Fish Fry. And we sat right in front of the polka band! We did go to the Botanical Garden, which we both enjoy. It's one of the few things we have in common. We like gardens. We both like looking at landscaping. She likes plants for their beauty. I like them for their Latin names. Quercus alba! We also had some great meals. Milwaukee did not let me down in the food department.

Have you and your mom ever been to Longwood Gardens in Delaware? It's probably not that far from PA. I went there with my parents a few weeks ago and it was awesome. It would be worth a day trip.
Longwood Gardens are in Pennsylvania! I agree, though; they are worth the trip.
I love that fish fry joint. And the polka band. I so need to visit when I am back in AA.
hey you're right, they are in PA! The whole time I was there I thought I was in Delaware.
i dont know about anyone else, but im still waiting to hear about the bead and button show.
