Shared Experiences

Everyone knows that spending time together as a couple helps maintain a healthy relationship. Finding enjoyment in a shared experience is an added bonus.

Last night, Glenn and I cheered the MN Twins in their 12th inning victory to become Division champions. It was a bonding moment after a long hard day.

What Was Your Favorite Color?

It was a true test of loyalty. Were you bleeding purple with the Vikings or thinking green by backing the Packers?

Changes in Lattitudes, Changes in Attitudes

Just getting away from your normal routine can give you a new perspective. In the end, that is what this past weekend provided me.

As Martha is fond of saying, "That is a good thing."

Home, Sweet Home

Dorothy was right. There is no place like home.

Can't Stop Moving

Even though there was a heavy mist today, I could not stay holed up in the warm cabin. Both morning and afternoon, the outdoors beckoned. My feet slipped into shoes, arms into warm jacket sleeves and away I walked.

Geese flew overhead and the aroma of pine needles filled my nose.

Mobility is marvelous.

Wet Weather

Mixed emotions surround this weekend's forecast. After a few years of drought, the predicted rain is a blessing. But I had hoped to explore around the Pine River cabin I will be staying at with some new friends.

Tomorrow I may be singing, Rain, rain, go away. Come again some other day.

Wine Inventory

As if shot from a cannon, I bolted out of bed this morning at 6:30a.m. to check my Westside receipt. Sure as shootin', I was charged for two bottles of a '03 Chinon. It was at the end of the slip, did not scan and had to be manually entered into the register. Unfortunately, I had only brought home one.

A quick phone call later and a check is in the mail. Good customer service like that makes me want to go back there and buy more wine.
