San Francisco in less than two hours!

December 17, 2016

Sounds crazy, doesn’t it?  Well, I lived it!  And it was the most fun four people could have in less than two hours.  This was the same weekend of my brother’s wedding in northern California.  Our flight home wasn’t until Monday evening so we had several hours to play with.  One thing we absolutely had … More San Francisco in less than two hours!

Benziger Family Winery, Glen Ellen, CA

December 10, 2016

While in northern California for my brother’s wedding over Labor Day Weekend we had the wonderful opportunity to visit the Benziger Family Winery.  And here’s the winery’s site but I should mention that I had to key in my birthday before I could view their site.

Rest in peace my brother

December 4, 2016

I’ve had a heck of a year!!  Two weeks after my adorable cat Fritz died I headed west to attend the wedding of my brother with his long-time companion (22 years!).  It was a fabulous weekend, the weather was perfect and everyone was so happy.  Then tragically my brother passed away on October 14th.  He learned … More Rest in peace my brother

Minnesota State Fair 2016

November 12, 2016

Guessing most of you know that we always go to the state fair. Every year, without fail.  And now that I think about it, this is one thing I will really miss when I leave Minnesota.  A wonderful treat every year.  Although this year we noticed it was a bit more crowded.  The attendance numbers … More Minnesota State Fair 2016

Post election thoughts

November 12, 2016

Here we are America three days after the most shocking and disheartening election of my life.  I’m starting to accept that it’s a new world order now.  At first I thought I would not pay as close attention any more but I can see that isn’t going to happen.  The husband turned me into a … More Post election thoughts
