    April 15, 2018 - By ldurben@charter.net

    Well, friends … much of Minnesota got hit pretty hard by a blizzard and major winter storm this weekend. Yep, in mid-April. We had a least a foot of snow at my house as of this morning — and it continued to snow all day long. Seriously … All. Day.…

    Turkey Tuesday: Parmesan Turkey Roll-Ups

    April 10, 2018 - By ldurben@charter.net

    Weekend Recap

    April 8, 2018 - By ldurben@charter.net

    Well, the weekend is winding down with snow. Again.  I’m pretty sure spring has decided not to show up at all this year.  But regardless, I have no other complaints, except that weekends always go way too fast. Joe had his last winter drumline competition of the season – crazy…

    Happy Easter! You guys. I just finished watching Jesus Christ Superstar (live on NBC tonight) and it was amazing. AMAZING. Like, seriously legit – in such a way that I can’t stop thinking about it and all the music is in my head right now. I am still in awe…

    Music and Family

    March 27, 2018 - By ldurben@charter.net

    Tonight was Joe’s last 8th grade jazz band concert … there will be many more concerts, I’m sure, but suddenly we will find our son in high school and we will wonder how that exactly happened so quickly. My parents, sister, and niece came to the concert and we had…
