Another trip of a lifetime!

I was finally able to get the pics from our cruise uploaded but it will take me 6 yrs to finish adding descriptions! At least they are in order... It was a truly wonderful 35th anniversary! The cruise was fabulous, we saw some amazing things, met fascinating people, ate outstanding foods and drank gallons of wonderful wines! I will sit down soon and give the details but check out the pics!

Been a long time since I've updated our blog but as they say, a picture is worth a thousand words!

Spring Fling 2011

What a wonderful way to start Mother's Day weekend - attending Benjamin's Spring Fling at the Rochester Montessori School! The program featured a visit from an eagle, songs and musical instrument performances...it's a wonderful school with talented students...none more talented than our little show-off Benjamin. This is the whole reason we moved here - to be able to attend these special events..

Florida 2011

Unable to take anymore of this long, long, long winter, we were able to spend a week in Florida with 4 of our favorite people, Jessica, Benjamin, Lucy and Mom. We packed up and headed down to Clearwater for a little "sun on the beach". It started out rocky with our flight being 2 hours late taking off along with some terrible storms and tornadoes on our 1st day. But not even Ed getting stuck in the elevator could deter us from having some fun! Once the weather cleared and Ed was sprung by the fire department, it was sunny and in the 80's. Benjamin and Lucy charmed Mom and all the neighbors! We were also able to spend some quality time with Mark and Debbie, checking out their beautiful new condo on St Pete Beach.


It was sad to leave but are looking forward to spring here at Lake Minnetonka!

Wait 'til next year

Another Bears season has come and gone - and what a season it was! No one ever expected them to be playing in the NFC championship game but there they were, lining up against our arch-rival Packers. While the game didn't go as we would have liked, it was still an outstanding and fun season! We still have our Bears flag proudly hanging! No bandwagoners or traitors here!

Grandpa and Grandpa had a few chances to whisper sweet Bear words in her little ear, even being so bold as to take her pic on a Bears blanket.



Now we settle into the depths of winter with thoughts of spring in our heads! The good news is Dairy Queen in town has reopened after being closed for the season!

Go Steelers~
