I … More Minneapolis Institute of Art – an out of the ordinary visit

I’m still working through how I want to create posts about our North Shore vacation in August so in the mean time I … More Minnesota State Fair in pandemic times

It was a great time! I’ll be putting together a post about other things I did that extended weekend, as … More Autumn 2019 – Twin Cities Minnesota
