It has been over half my life since I have been able to
legally buy beer. I was up in Northern
Minnesota this past weekend for the graduation party of one of my nieces. Boy was it cold, when we left LaCrosse on
Sunday morning it was 70 on the way up to a high of 96 heard from many that air
conditioning was turned on for the day.
When we got to Two Harbors Minnesota it was foggy and cold, of course we
dressed for LaCrosse weather, big mistake it was a high of 45 foggy, cloudy and
damp. What the heck were we
thinking? It is always fun though to get
together and visit with family. My nephew
texted me on the way up asking me to pick up some beer since they were in
Minnesota and you can't buy beer on Sunday, ah the joys of Wisconsin living,
beer on Sunday and no 3-2 at grocery stores (at least that is what my 24 year
old nephew thinks). After hanging out at the hotel, my nephew who
just turned 21, my 24 year old nephew, my sister-in-law and I went out for a
beer at a local tavern. It was the first
time my 21 year old nephew was to buy a beer, I thought being the uncle that I would
give him the money to buy the pitcher of beer I give him 9 bucks and said leave
a buck for the tip, he proceed to leave a dollar on the table and then headed
to the bar, I said no leave it with the bartender, he got the beer came back to
the table gave me back my money and said that he didn’t have to pay for it,
that they just put the beer on his cousins tab.
So he still never bought his
first beer, I guess I will just have to go out with him again someday.
