Hello everyone! How are you? Things are pretty much the same for all of us. Mom did place an order from Build-a-Bear though. I have a brand new shirt!

She saw the t-shirt in an ad on Facebook of all places, and we had to have it! (Although, even though it’s probably only a week old, it’s already pilling, so Mom’s patience for it is dwindling.) Mom has seen shirts for Life is Good at gift stores.
Mom posted this on Instagram, but I thought I would share it here too. In our area of Wisconsin, there is a fish called the lake sturgeon (Acipenser fulvescens). They are living fossils! They’ve been around for 136 MILLION YEARS! One of the places they breed is on the rocks of the Wolf River in a tiny town called Shiocton, Wisconsin. A few days ago, Mom went there to look at the overflowing Wolf River. It turned out that there were still some sturgeon there!

Mom uploaded a video to her Instagram account. I wanted to upload it here, but it won’t let me without uploading it to YouTube first. So here is a link to some ancient fish in action!
Hope you’re having a great day! Talk to you next week!
