Redgranite

Lately the topic on the top of our list has been... what happens after internship? There are many openings where Jesse currently is (Wis. Dept. of Corrections). The opening are scattered through out Wisconsin. This week he learned about a new opening in Redgranite, Wisconsin. We decided to take a Sunday drive and check out the area...as it could be one of his possibilities. Here are a few pictures of the area.

Welcome to Redgranite!

Population 1040!!!

When we arrived in Redgranite we were greeted by snowmobiles. Tons of snowmobile trails!! At the gas station there are 2 big trucks with 4-wheelers in the back. I looked at Jesse and said "I think we just arrived to a 'Jesse town'."

Our first stop was to check out where he would be working.

Here is a picture of the Redgranite Correctional Institution.

Why does the sun not shine over this place? All my other pictures are very sunny.

Maybe it is because I am taking it out of the back window which is tinted???

We drove around to see what kind of housing options there would be for us.

Lots of country! We loved how they don't plow the roads very well.

We found this spot for sale and drove up to look around. Behind these trees

were 2 horses and they took off running and then a dog starting barking.

We didn't stay long. No house that we could see, just land.

Turkeys.

Jesse thought this hill was unusual because you don't see

a lot of hills here.

A perfect Wisconsin day.

The local grocery store. A teeny-tiny Piggly Wiggly.

Our other options for job placements are to stay where we are (Green Bay... but live in Appleton), Chippewa Falls (where Lynn went to college), Stanley (which is real close to our family), and then this Redgranite. (There might be more positions then the ones I mentioned, but these are just the ones that Jesse has told me about.) Jesse can not apply for the positions until May (I think). We just hope that they don't fill the positions in the mean time and that we have a good chance of getting placed.

As most of you know, Jesse started an online business when we moved to Oregon. He called the business... West Coast Cycle. Much to our surprise the business has been working out for the both of us and when we moved Jesse no longer wanted it called West Coast Cycle for obvious reasons... we were no longer on the West Coast. : )

After we arrived in our new location (The Midwest) Jesse was quick to think up a new name and get it changed ASAP. He came up with FreyMoto Industries.

He also wanted a new website... what Jesse wants, Jesse gets. : ) Last night he was finally able to launch his new website, FreyMoto.

April Showers bring...

Hold it! It is January, not April. It has been raining the past 2 days and almost all of the snow has melted. The hard part is knowing that this is not spring. As much as I am ready to bust out the summer clothes... I can't. Here are some pictures that I caught today of the rain.

Here is another oil painting that I did. I am not real sure on how to take pictures of paintings. This is my attempt in giving it a little bit of sass.
