Dad and Ev & I went North to Ashland, WI for a couple of nights and we had a blast. We met some friends of Dad & Ev's that they know from their winters in Texas. These friends live in Upper Michigan, so Ashland was equal distance for us to drive. We really enjoyed Ashland.

The city of Ashland is funding a mural project that has been going on for 12 years. All the people in the murals are actual one time residents of Ashland. The artists are two women from Ashland, Susan Prentice Martinsen and Kelly Meredith. We met Sue today as she was working on the ore dock painting, she was very nice. All the paint used is Sherwin Williams house paint.

| It feels like you can walk into these shops. Those steps on the left? Not steps, painted on the wall. |

The Murals were awesome, we saw 11 of the 13 murals that are scattered around Ashland. The museum has a brochure and map and it is worth seeing each and every mural if you go there.
