In-Law-a-thon – Two

I have a lot to do in the morning before we join the GP2 clan – meditate, exercise, make reservations for a complicated October trip – so we don’t get there until 9:30. The GP2 have four lovely daughters (we will use Borg designations 1 of 4, 2 of 4, etc.) and they have always made a major commitment to their education. GP2 wife has at various times taken the children out of public school and home schooled them in frustration over the educational system. It was wonderful to see these girls who are so into reading and mechanical things. They had a set of Lego stuff that any junior engineer would die for – and they spent hours putting things together. Unfortunately our schedule this trip is very tight and we only had the day together. Then it was on to northwestern Wisconsin to see Wife’s next oldest sister. On the way, we are running a bit late (an unfortunate incident with some fried chicken at a locally noted bakery restaurant) and it is getting dark as we are headed north towards the north lands of Wisconsin. Calling sister-in-law we are informed that we need to watch out for the deer! Evidently this area is known for multitudes of accidents involving deer and cars. So the next hour and a half is a drive of terror. But in spite of one deer crossing and one deer sighting, we get to sister (in-law) two without problems.
