 We are Dawn and Gary Klein and we live in Sheboygan, WI, which is right on the coast of Lake Michigan. The big lake keeps us cool in the summer and keeps us a little warmer in the winter. It also has been known to cause large amounts of snow to fall! The only time it's actually warm enough to swim in, is September. In the summer, it's fun to watch all the sailboats in the Wednesday night sailboat races. It's fun to see all the different sailboats against the water.
2020: This is a year of the coronavirus and COVID-19. We have to
wear masks everywhere we go, stay home more, not get together with
friends, eat at home more. It's crazy. The southeastern US is
getting slammed with hurricanes and the west coast is on fire. Did I
mention murder hornets? Yikes. Also, our dishwasher is currently on the
fritz and Gary replaced a few things and it still wasn't working, so on
August 6th we had a guy from Bitter Neumann come out and look at it.
It turned out it was one of the water pumps. He said it would take
two weeks to come in. Hahahahahahaha! What a joke. In 30
minutes, it will have been 7 weeks since the guy was at our house and it
is still not here. Apparently, because of the virus, things are in
short supply. Ugh. They hope by the end of next week, so by
9-25-2020.
We have been married for almost 33 years and Gary proposed to me on a bluff overlooking Lake Michigan and a white lighthouse in a town 30 miles south of Sheboygan (see above photo). The two of us enjoy watching movies at the theater and eating in fine (read-expensive!) restaurants, but usually it's home-delivered pizza and a couple of videos. Our favorite restaurant is Trattoria Stefano's in Sheboygan where the food is always good and they always pamper you! They serve the yummiest Italian food and we like to go there to celebrate special occasions like wedding anniversaries and stuff like that! This marriage has brought us 2 daughters, Sarah and Emily who are the light of our lives. We enjoy spending time with them, too.
Gary, is
61, and loves photography, cars, and small engines. Never try to stump him on the make, model, or year of a given car. It won't work. We never have to worry if our lawnmower or snowblower will start. He makes sure everything is in good working order. He also likes working and playing on the computer, especially surfing through news sites and reading the TDI Club forums. He also enjoys fixing computers, too.
My name is Dawn. I'm
60, and a nurse who likes spending time with my kids, cooking, gardening,
and watching the birds that come to my birdfeeder. I see juncos, purple
finches, mourning doves, sparrows, and a cardinal who is becoming a more
regular visitor! Occasionally, I get to see a black-capped chickadee. I
also like to play piano and in my high school years played French horn.
Unfortunately, I don't own a French horn now, so don't get to play that
anymore!

Sarah lives in Madison and works in a lab. She loves to knit
and has made quite a few things! She loves to go hiking and loves to read.
Emily is
in her late 20s. She can be found with either
a sketch book and a pencil drawing horses or reading a book. She also likes playing Sim horse games.
Another passion of hers, is knitting. She taught herself by watching videos on knittinghelp.com! Her newfound interest in knitting, has also made me knit a LOT more, too!
She has more time to knit, read, or play with her switch.
