Part of life here is deer hunting season.
The women go shopping and the men hunt deer.
Amazingly more people don't get killed doing this. I'm including some pictures that Isabel and I took of Deer Hunt/Deer Widow Season.
Hey, Honey could you unload the groceries!!

Hi,
My name is Janet Stratton...no relation to Cathy other than I was once married to her husband's brother.
I was born and raised in the great state of Wisconsin. I am so enjoying Cathy's great adventure and trying to keep her laughing which is not hard since she is easily amused.
Anyway, I need to make a few small corrections to Cathy's last two blogs since I have nothing better to do than try and convince myself that Wisconsin is not completely insane as Cathy thinks, however she is right!
First, the so called "first snow" was really not snow. It was all a big set up to make Cathy go outside...in the cold...that was really quite warm by my standards.
I do not wear a winter coat until it gets really cold like about 15 degrees outside. I am serious. And for those of you who are thinking I am nuts, I pose the question to you..."Do YOU put on sunblock spf 30 just to go to Trader Joe's??"
Oh and speaking of food a note about the dead deer...well those were really...dead. Sorry for the graphic nature of our proud "kill" but it has gotten much better.
A few years back the DNR (http://www.dnr.state.wi.us/ I suggest checking out popular downloads) said you can't drive around with your dead deer gutted and hanging out of your car or on top of your car but must now be covered or keep it INSIDE your vehicle to prevent Cronic Wasting Disease (see link above for FAQ's) from spreading.
Ewwww...what a sick law! It makes all those deer hunters have to go to the bar and talk about dead deer (inside the mini van) instead of just waving at the 16 point buck heading 65 mph in Hortonville on the TOP of a Ford F150 Supercab (it is a pick up truck..get the joke? Oh,well..) Now, you at least, have to try and hide it from people trying to rubberneck if you got yer' doe so you could get yer' buck. Again check out the Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources (DNR) for all the particulars.
So, dear friends of Cathy, you must know that what she is telling you is far worse than you can imagine. But so is Hollywood, mudslides, wildfires, Arnnie as your Gov, and Micheal Jackson all in the same state...or so I have heard.
As we say in Wes-con-sen, Yah
know what I mean, dontcha? And the correct reply is (all together now) Yup, dontcha know.
Oh and one last thing..I am NOT giving Cathy up or Mike or Sam or Isabel. You had your turn and it my turn to have someone fun to hang out with. So don't even think of trying to get them back ...grrrr.
Love ya!
Janet
