Milwaukee Happy Note–March 24th, 25th, and 26th, 2023

Mornin’ All,

Happy Friday, Happy (almost) Weekend, and Happy End of the Week!😃

Ramadan Mubarack! Sending best wishes to our Muslim sisters and brothers during this most Holy time of Ramadan.

Not only is it Ramadan, it’s officially Spring! But what’s this I hear? More snow’s on the way? No way! It’s one thing to get a bunch of skiable snow in January that’ll be hangin’ around (and be SKIABLE) for a bunch of weeks. But Spring Milwaukee snow? Usually a bunch of sloppy damp slush. No matter! Grab some wool socks, a cozy blanket, some candles, and a hot beverage and do as the Danes do: Hygge! Or maybe get out there and explore a bunch of awesome (indoor) things around Milwaukee!
