It has been a while... sorry!

Things have been good, but a bit crazy here in Milwaukee. I know Jess must be rolling her eyes because it seems like John and I do the same things everyday - but that is just it - I have been spending A LOT of time in the library in a very small cubicle everyday writing my diss. I am happy to report that I've made a lot of progress. I have switched over now to writing my paper for Beijing now, but will be back to the diss in no time (two weeks to be exact). Having a new roommate has been great and just the thing to keep John and I sane this summer. We miss you all and can't wait to see you! Attached are some pictures of John's cousin's visit, Jess being in town and other things.
[Sorry this picture has been removed because it was just too gross.]
This is the lovely Milw. brat dinner I made cousin Peter - I burnt the brats and then cooked them in beer. These are the left overs that looked absolutely repulsive - as you can see- so John and I struck this pose.


This is P. with his one time flat mate who he hadn't seen in 40 years. Doesn't our back yard look classy? I should start a bistro!


This is an awesome cookie jar I bought at the thrift store and am selling on Etsy. I hate to see it go!

Wow. The brats. I am both in-love-with and repulsed-by the picture of the brats.
