What a beautiful day it’s starting out to be, as I turn 43 years young today.  The girls and I are going to the zoo to see the new Black Bears that have arrived form Russia and have a picnic lunch amongst the wildlife.  Then for dinner tonight, we’re heading downtown to Minneapolis to enjoy [...]

Last night we enjoyed a fabulous dinner at Stewie’s pad.  He made these wonderful, juicy stuffed pork chops and hasselback potatoes.  He even made appetizers, which were sun-dried tomato crostini’s.  Oh so yummy!  But the good eats and thoughtfulness didn’t stop there.  For dessert, I got a birthday cake, complete with Happy Birthday candles.  Very [...]

Today we had this baby bird on our swing-set.  Somehow it managed to get onto the ladder and seemed to be stuck there.  We didn’t see anything until we noticed that Jazz was going crazy near the ladder and trying very hard to climb it.  We then walked over and found the baby sitting there, [...]

What a yucky day in the Solberg house.  I’m referring to all the bugs and critters that we found.  Megan was playing Jenga downstairs on the carpet and yells “Ants Mom!  I just killed five of them.”  Okay, I guess it’s time for the Terro.  Then later I was outside looking at the flowers and [...]

After this week, I can say that summer has arrived.  It’s been sunny, warm and absolutely perfect day after day.  Yesterday I took the girls to the local pool and they had a great time swimming while I sat on a lounge chair working on my tan and visiting with a friend.  Then later that [...]

Yesterday I took Megan to the Orthodontist for a consultation requested by her dentist.  This appointment was mainly to find out about the gap between her front two teeth.  After taking pictures of her mouth, the gap is their least concern in her mouth.  She has a mess in her there and will be needing braces [...]

Today I did something that I haven’t done in quite a few years.  I went on a bike ride.  Kelly & I took our bikes out for a spin around the pond.  We enjoyed the wind whipping through our hair, the sun shining down on our skin and the fresh air all around us.  It [...]

What a gorgeous day this is turning out to be.  The sun is shining, birds are chirping and we’re off to the golf course to play nine holes.   After that, Plankton will watch the rest of the U.S. Open and then we’ll do some grilling for dinner.  I hope everyone has a nice day!

Today we were planning on heading over to the local outdoor swimming pool to kick off our summer.  I was going to be a lounge-lizard in my chair, chatting for hours with my girlfriend while our kids splash around in the pool.  Then came the winds!  I’m talking 20-30 mile an hour winds that gave [...]

Today the girls & I did our first installment of Meals on Wheels  This is a volunteer program in which we deliver a hot meal to the elderly.  All of these people are so excited when we show up and thank us kindly for our efforts.   There are a few who just want to talk.  [...]
