Who Doesn't Love Chocolate?

Holly, the kids, and I recently made the trek to Brownsville, Wisconsin, for a wedding on her side of the family.
"Confections For Any Occasion" sign.
While there, we went to the town of Theresa to visit Confections For Any Occasion. This quaint little candy shop, cafe, and ice cream shop is run by Holly's cousin, Joel.

Confections for any occasion has a wide selection of Door County wines and micro-brew beers.

Joel carries just about anything you can think of, including fine Door County wines and micro-brew beers.


One of several cases stocked with hand made confections, guaranteed to satisfy any sweet tooth!

The best best part of the shop, however, are the cases full of hand made confections. Joel and his staff make a wide selection of mouth watering chocolates, candies, and truffles. Try the beer truffles, they are to die for!!

"The Zimm" and the one and only Joel!

If your in Eastern Wisconsin, stop on in and get some good food and chocolates, you may even get a chance to meet Joel himself! Too far to drive? No problem, Joel's sweet tooth favorites are available on-line at www.confectionsbyjoel.com 24 hours a day!

Now That's a Fire!!

The Prior Lake Fire Department recently had the opportunity to do a training burn on a house in Prior Lake. House burns such as this provide a training environment that is second to none. We start several small fires and extinguish them, giving us the chance to learn fire behavior and extinguishing techniques, prior to letting it burn to the ground. Oh yea, it's a heck of a lot of fun too!
Fully Involved!

What's Up?

Hey All!

Well, It's been a month or so since my last update! As most of you know I am back home now, and acclimating well to civilian life. Over the past three weeks I have been filling my days with "honey-do" projects, volunteering at the schools and church, and getting back into the swing of things at the fire department. It was great to have a chance to catch up with a lot of you, and if I haven't seen you yet, I look forward to doing so!

'Till next time!
