I Believe I Can Fly

This will be short and sweet. I had to get up at 4:00 AM and train shop employees from 7 AM to 6 PM. I’m beat! And it all repeats again tomorrow.

This much stress, lack of sleep, and not eating properly makes me overly emotional, with tendencies to break into tears at the drop of a hat.

Minnesota Autumn Brew Review

Last Saturday, I went with some friends to the Autumn Brew Review, put on by the MN Craft Brewer’s Guild. Basically, you pay a fee to get into the event and are handed a small glass to go around and sample beers brought by 80 brewers. There was a large variety of beers (over 250…

Simply Saturday

I took Luke to the park this morning. This time it’s Luke that has the happy feet. I’m not sure why I went with the lime green wraps. I think it was another one of those color purchases where I was thinking about being visible to hunters and not being mistaken for a deer. I…

If Only I Had Wonder Woman’s Magic Bracelets

After having so much fun on the 4th being with friends and family at the lake, it seemed especially quiet and empty when I came home. Usually H and I would have company at our house for a 4th of July celebration or we’d go to a park where a band was playing and there…
