My husband is funny....

3. Unrelated but it's Wisconsin

My family is from Wisconsin and I'm also a cheesehead, now a New Yorker. We spent the past three days in Milwaukee, West Allis and New Berlin. I had some business and we saw my relatives and did some sight-seeing.

It's a beautiful state! Great people, excellent food and there's plenty of this beverage called "beer." On our way south to Chicago, we had to stop at the Mars Cheese Castle. It's been there since before I was a kid and I just discovered that it opened in 1947! That store has been one of two touchstones in my trips to Wisconsin; the other was the welcome sign, shaped like the state that used to be on the East side of I-94. Alas, it appears to have been removed. They were important to me as a youth because it meant we were almost there, meaning Grandma's house.

Sorry to go off-topic on you, LakeArsenal. I just wanted to share my recent visit to my home state.

P.S. Your husband's sense of humor is awesome. Darkly sly but awesome!
