Too Old? Never.....

When we moved back to Milwaukee we discovered a new December tradition. Downtown the BMO Harris Bank features a huge collection of Steiff animals - tiny and huge in a wonderful, annual display. Each year the theme is fresh and new....and when our local grandsons were little I took them every year to see the magic. And for them....it was magic.

There was a "no touching rule'' but that was very hard to follow....so we sometimes carefully and softly touched the animals, the snow, the fabrics. Each year the theme is new....one year we enjoyed King Arthur's Court, another year it was a Snow Queen palace or a candy factory....one time we went to space. The animals were the same, but the costuming and the staging was different each December and made the magic come alive once again.

But grandsons grow up....and as teenagers they no longer really want to trek to the city to see stuffed animals. So we go with our friends. One year friends from Madison went with us....this year it was friends who have lived in Milwaukee for years but had never been to see the display.

2018 - colorful Dr. Seuss! If you live near Milwaukee....no one's too old for that.......
