Awesomeness. I could live my entire life and be content to never leave the midwest. One of my great grandfathers came from Austria and settled in Benoit. Another great great grandfather came from Germany and settled in Mancelona Michigan.

My family of origin, too. Austria to upstate rural New York, to Milwaukee, WI. By the 70’s we all started moving further afield and never looked back. If you’ve ever been to Germany, Wisconsin’s geography is eerily similar.

It’s just such a pretty state, politics aside, of course! :)
