Hey Trooper! Today is surgery day so you're in my thoughts a lot. At least that part will be over after today and you will be back to your crazy and OCD self! Don't worry. I'm doiing some fun things for you today in your honor. First a bike ride then maybe some fishing or frisbee golf. Love ya, Alice.

Hey guys! How are things? S: it was nice to spend time with you at graduation. It is so fun to hang out with and play! A: We need to hang out. BBQ in August? We can even invite your wife and baby! haha! Life is good here. Just chilling on the patio with my dad right now. He's doing the daily crossword and thinks I can help! I definitely have no patience for crosswords but get me on Scrabble and I love it! Well hope all is well. Later, Alice.

Hey! I thought your kiddos might get a kick out of the cows! We never had a wii party-how's the first week school starts? Maybe if we plan it now, it will happen! I'm loving summer. I am finally caught up on sleep. It's nice to just do what I feel like. Today is a biking kind of day. The weather has been perfect with no humidity. I better enjoy it before it's too hot and muggy! What's new? Any adventures? I bought Adele's album last week btw! "Rolling in the Deep" rocks!!! Well off toe the adventures! Write soon. Alice

Hey UK adventurer! I hope you enjoyed your trip and that this postcard will find you well when you return! What was your favorite part of the trip? That's a hard question because I remember liking every moment. I do love the "mind the gap" when you get on or off the tube! York was amazing as was Stonehenge but the Tower of London ranks up there with Westminster Abbey and Buckingham Palace. Oh the memories! Mom was excited when I told her you had gone to England. She sure like you, who doesn't? I used the bag you made her to go to church yesterday. I think I'll need one! :) Alice

Hey. You're off on your UK adventure right now. I bet you are having a blast. I'm still patiently waiting for pictures to be posted on facebook! Must be having too much fun to post!:) Life is great here. I'm loving the opportunity to sleep in and just do whatever. Yesterday we had our first grill out dinner. We even ate on the patio-one of my favorite things! We also had s'mores. It must be officially summer! :) Only plan today is a bike ride and some reading. Maybe if I get ambitious, I'll go frisbee golfing! Life is good. Hope you're well. Alice

Hey. How's life? It's the second week of summer vacation and I'm starting to feel like a slacker. Guess that means I'm finally a grown up and better sign up for my summer college classes! :) Your kiddos are so dang cute. I bet they keep you out of trouble and very busy. Besides those little buggers, what you doing with your time these days? Too bad you're not playing softball still(or are you?), it'd be cool to have you on my team!!! Well, I'm off to have a bike ride around Rhinelander. I used to always make fun of this place, but it's growing on me! So pretty!!! Alice

Hey Kid. Thought you'd like to see what a cow looks like! Oh wait, you probably know! This one makes the most excellent cheese. I had some fried last Monday. YUM! How's life on the home front? You feeling any better? Work going ok? You should come visit Wisconsin...it seems to be a major stress reliever! At least I am feeling no pressure! Except to catch some fish and hit some softballs. My kind of stress! Write soon. Love, Alice.
