Rehosted

Due to continuing problems using HelioHost to host my website, I've switched to Zymic. I'm hoping it performs better. I had been pretty excited about HelioHost because it offers a lot of options and is ad free, but they unfortunately weren't reliable.

Shakin'

Maryanne and I took the girls for a short trip to Door County this last weekend. Maryanne got to see cherry trees being shaken to harvest the cherries, an added bonus in light of her inquiry on one of our last visit on how cherries are harvested.

The weather held up well in Door County. Saturday's weather started gorgeous, making for a great trip to the Door County Fair that evening. Sarah loved seeing the animals, and enjoyed the rides. The fair wasn't as busy as I remember it; it was sad to see it that way, and left me wondering what the future holds for it. A storm front rolled in throughout the evening, but the rain held off until well after dark.

Sunday warmed up quickly, but we were on the road again by mid-afternoon. It was a short but pleasant trip, tired and cranky children notwithstanding. Our next trip will be longer, and hopefully even more fun.
