I love this time of the year when you go outside and smell all those grills cooking.  Mmm…makes me hungry thinking about it.  Hopefully, Purple Girl, you’ll get lots of use out of yours this summer.  We can’t wait to be invited over for a cook-out!  Oh, did I say that out loud?
As Plankton said, [...]

It wasn’t quite the warmest day of the weekend…okay, it was cold yesterday.  So I decided to make it a scrap-booking day.  I spent nine hours on my scrapbook pages!  It felt good to get back into it and finish my old book that I’ve been working on since October.  I’m now just about done [...]

Last night, Nate & I went over to the Dakota Jazz Club in Minneapolis to listen to some Blues music.  It was a lot of fun to be in this nice little club because you’re about five feet away from the stage.  Very cozy and quaint. 
Today we spent the day finishing our plantings.  Nate bought [...]

I’m so glad it’s the weekend, and it’s a long weekend for most of us.  The weather around here is supposed to cooperate as well.  I’m glad I’ll be around my house because this morning I caught these little House- Finches making a nest in my hanging pot out front!  My job this weekend is to guard [...]

Today we headed over to Sailer Greenhouses and bought round one of our summer flowers.  Today was mostly for Megan & Kelly.  They picked out flowers for their gardens and I got two pots of geraniums and one hanging pot for the front door.  Nate did all the hard work.  He dug out a new [...]

This seemed like a long week to me.  I guess it’s because I’ve started to count down how many days left until summer vacation.  I shouldn’t do this to myself! 
Kelly was in a small performance today in her music class.  They performed a skit called A Year With Frog and Toad by Arnold Lobel (popular author [...]

Tonight is Megan & Kelly’s spring piano recital.  Somehow I got talked into doing a duet with Kelly.  It’s a simple one, but there’s always that chance I’ll mess up.  I get very nervous and have never liked playing in front of people.  I’m sure it’ll be fine if I just remember to breathe!

Being June Cleaver (the most famous Mom), I had to write and wish everyone a Happy Mother’s Day.  I was presently surprised to wake up this morning and find that the sun was shining.  That just tells me it’s going to be a great day.  Tonight we’re off to the Twins game for a fun [...]

Our Minnesota party was alot of fun.  I couldn’t believe how creative people were today.  We had Babe Winkelman, The Pillsbury Dough Boy, Jessica Lange, a couple of Betty Crockers (even though she’s a fictional character) but is related to General Mills, Judy Garlands and of course, lots and lots of Twins, Vikings, Timberwolves and [...]

Tomorrow is a big day at our school and all across this wonderful state of ours.  Minnesota turns 150 years old!  We are having a celebration in the gym. Our school is decorated beautifully with our state bird, flower and other Minnesota memorabilia.  The kids can dress up as their favorite person from Minnesota such [...]
