The latest photo hunt picture is from the top of the building that the US Post Office is in on the corner of Shady Lane and Appleton Avenue, or St. Francis and Appleton Ave, depending on where you turn. A few of you emailed in that it's located at Colonial Plaza, which is further down Appleton Avenue towards Main Street. I have to admit, all the replies that it was Colonial Plaza really stumped me, which is why this reveal is so late. Congratulations to Debbie for finding it!

So it's a snow day today, and the timing could not be be more perfect! Yesterday, Home Depot delivered to my house a brand new snowthrower! It's a two stage, and has 208cc engine -- which I guess can be converted to horsepower, but I try my best to not do any extra math, so I'm just going to say it's got Super Hero Power. AND, this is the best part, TODAY is my husband's birthday! What more could a guy ask for? First, a snowthrower, then a snow storm in which to use his brand new snowthrower! Although, I did have to use it this morning already. He left for work before there was enough snow to clear, so I took care of it before I left for work. It was awesome!!

Happy Snow Day!

Here is the next photo hunt! Do you know the location in Menomonee Falls where this photo was taken?

To play either leave a comment with your guess (note: I'll hold all correct comments in moderation as to not spoil the fun), send me an email to winelush@gmail.com, or just play along at home. I'll reveal the location on Friday Saturday (since I have no idea what happened to my picture and I had to insert it again).

The photo hunt was the street lights located at the confusing intersection where Appleton Ave., Menomonee Avenue and Pilgrim Road all come together. Both Paul Wickesberg (Paul's Falls) and Margie R. correctly identified it this week! Paul told me in his email, "Did you know that years ago former public works director, Dennis Droese, actually named them? They were known as Huey, Dewey and Louie." I, of course, did not know this. Did you?

I was gambling with the photo this week. I thought it would be either too easy, or very hard. Every day I drive down Appleton Avenue as I head home from Germantown and can see the glow from blocks away! However, my husband never even noticed the lights until I made him stop the car so I could take a picture. I wondered how many others have passed them countless times without really seeing them.

Tomorrow is Thanksgiving Day, and my plans are quite simple. My husband's grandmother is taking the family out for dinner. This is the second time we've done this, the first time was about five years ago, and it was when my husband's grandfather was still alive. It was his [grandfather's] idea, and while it seemed very very wrong to be eating Thanksgiving dinner at a restaurant, it actually was very enjoyable. I won't list all the perks, but I'll get to the most important one: NO CLEAN UP! It was heavenly.

I'll most likely start out the day tomorrow with a quick workout at the YMCA, then I'm going to park myself on the sofa and watch the Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade. I've watched the parade for the past two years, I don't really know why I haven't watched the parade prior to that because I really enjoy the performances.

Have a Happy Thanksgiving!

Here is the next photo hunt! Do you know the location in Menomonee Falls where this photo was taken? No clues this week!

This week's Photo Hunt was right there on Appleton Avenue, high on the roof of MidAmerica Bank ..... formerly known as St. Francis Bank (there's the clue). Did you get it right? Margie R. was the first to email me with the correct location. Congratulations Margie!

Here is the next photo hunt! Do you know the location where this photo was taken? Here is your clue: Formerly a patron saint.

The location of the Photo Hunt is the Menomonee Falls Library, which I'll admit, might have been too easy. Did you get it right? Karen got it right with minutes of the picture posting. Karen, I'm going to have to work harder to stump you now.

Here is the next photo hunt! Do you know the location where this photo was taken? Here are your clues: Once again it's somewhere in Menomonee Falls, a place that you should really check out.

The location of the photo is the Classic Bike Shop, which is located at N90 W16519 Roosevelt Dr. Did you know where it was? The correct guess was Rollie's Bike Shop, which I believe is the same place.

There'll be a new Photo Hunt on Monday. I'll have a Landmark Credit Union update tomorrow.

In the meantime, it's November which means it's National Novel Writer's Month, affectionately known as NaNoWriMo (or NaNo). Writers around the world began writing their 50,000 word novels today! It's not too late for you to get started on yours! Visit the NaNo website if you are interested. I wrote about my own experience with NaNo here.

This is our first official photo hunt! Do you know the location where this photo was taken? It's somewhere in Menomonee Falls, a little of the beaten path. Either leave a comment (note: I'll hold the comments in moderation as to not spoil the fun), send me an email, or just play along at home. I'll reveal the location on Friday. 

10/29/07, 1:26 p.m., WOW, I'm so impressed that the location has been found! Congratulations to Mister Commenter!

I'm going to continue to hold the comments so others can play along through Friday. Good job!
