I love it here!Meaganhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08282280774356320616noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15649326.post-1162432885083748412006-11-01T21:01:00.000-05:002006-11-01T21:01:00.000-05:00I grew up on a dairy farm between Eau Claire and B...I grew up on a dairy farm between Eau Claire and Black River Fall, off of I-94.<BR/>Went to high school in Whitehall.<BR/>But when are back there each year we take road trips all over WI. <BR/>What town or city do you live near?

It takes me a ten-minute drive to stand on the shores of the largest fresh water lake on the planet (by surface area, heh!), and a fifteen-minute drive in any direction gets me out for a hike.<BR/><BR/>My house is best described as a work-in-progress. We bought the place after it had been a rental for nearly 20 years. It has long outlived the chic part of shabby chic.<BR/><BR/>So, we have been slowly rehabbing the ol' girl (I somehow have attached a matronly - perhaps schoolmarm - persona to our house). The place has loads of character, and it's only a matter of time 'til we have her polished up!<BR/><BR/>I haven't posted any pictures of the house on my <A HREF="http://shebeest.blogspot.com" REL="nofollow">blog</A>. I'll try to share some there soon.Meaganhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08282280774356320616noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15649326.post-1162395390590788112006-11-01T10:36:00.000-05:002006-11-01T10:36:00.000-05:00I'm from WI, now living in Phx, AZ.I miss the fall...I'm from WI, now living in Phx, AZ.<BR/>I miss the fall season in WI!<BR/>but we go back there every year and go to tons of yard sales and thrift stores. <BR/>My best thrift stories are from my adventures in WI.<BR/>Do you have a blog... with pics of your home?<BR/>Thanks for sharing!linda thttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05819203001583691536noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15649326.post-1161907381865728862006-10-26T20:03:00.000-04:002006-10-26T20:03:00.000-04:00ooohhhhh, converted schoolhouse - how cool is that...ooohhhhh, converted schoolhouse - how cool is that??? can't wait to see more!lesliehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06737087253010910386noreply@blogger.com
