As you know, I love Milwaukee. I think it is a fabulous city that has a lot to offer as far as culture, Lake Michigan and the arcitecture.
In any case, Milwaukee was settled by Europeans mainly by the German and the Poles and they brought with them great craftsman who help to build the stunning mansions of the beer barons and the wealthy of the city. So often times when I am here I like to look up and take in the things you normally pass as you are taking in a neighborhood.
The Northpoint neighborhood of Milwaukee, located along Lake Michigan and bordering Lake Shore drive, often refereed to as “the Gold Coast” is where you will find the old world craftsmanship on one after the other of beautiful houses. Today, while on my way to an appointment I took a few photos of some of these beautiful places.
After snowing another 3 inches it warmed up to 39 and then back down to a chilly overnight of 9! I am not used to this COLD! I have been away too long. I hope you are staying warm wherever you and and having a wonderful day!
I also wanted to take a minute to thank these wonderful blogs, they are the top referring sites to my blog for the month of December. I am so grateful to all of these lovely ladies! They are not in any particular order.

Wonderful images of Milwaukee. Last time, only time in fact, we were there was for my husbands college friends wedding about 10 years ago. It was a load of fun. We just got a small amount of snow here and my kids were tickled pink, me not so much, am ready for summer. Never been a big winter person. But must say the snow does make beautiful pictures.
