2024 - November 8-16 - Well-Read Mom and Grandbaby 8

 I attended an awesome Well-Read Mom conference in Milwaukee. It was absolutely fantastic and the women (about 300!) were such lovely, joyful women! Very edifying.

I stayed at the Brewhouse Inn which is part of the Pabst brewing area. It was a great place to stay, I highly recommend! 

Besides the rooms being quaint with a full kitchenette, the old copper brewing kettles are still in their places.

I always had a fondness for spiral staircases. This one goes right into the ceiling...

The talks were absolutely fantastic. Colleen Hutt introducing Dr. Holly Ordway... a Tolkien expert! Was I in the right place or what?

Old stairways have such character.

🎝bright copper kettles and warm woolen mittens 🎶

The chairs were a sight to see.

Old beer commercials

Beautiful stained glass windows.

Wish I remembered all the history...

Rather safe parking. 

These phenomenal women (Colleen Hutt and Marcie Stokman)

are absolutely... phenomenal.

They wrote a book together entitled "Well-Read Life"

Just a list of books on the list I don't want to forget...
