I had the most jam-packed Saturday and it was all fun, fun, fun! Well, except for the weather, which was crappy (barely reaching 40 degrees and cold and gray). But I won’t dwell on that. Instead, I’m dwelling on our little trip out to my parents’ farm on Saturday for some family festivities. Normally, spring […] Read more…
Uptown Girls and Guys
When the weather in Minnesota turns to spring, it is a glorious thing – and even more glorious this year because our first 60+ degree day was over a month later than usual. So what’s a girl and her family to do on a sunny Saturday afternoon? We headed to Uptown Minneapolis for an afternoon […] Read more…
Ag, Award, Aussie and Earl (or Sunday Night Randomness)
It’s Sunday night and I’m listening to the ice fall against my windows. Yes, ice. Apparently winter isn’t ready to let go in Minnesota. It’s frustrating for me, definitely. (I want to be outside cleaning up the yard and getting my gardens ready, and, quite frankly, it’s annoying I can’t wear any of my cute […] Read more…
Multiples in the Pantry – Good, Bad or Just Plain Funny?

Here's to a Vacation Day!
I read an article today in the Twin Cities Star Tribune about how Americans don’t take all of their vacation days either because of a lack of time or a lack of money – or both, I am sure. This isn’t exactly news – I think most of us have heard this before, and it’s […] Read more…
Egg and Turkey Sausage Breakfast Casserole
Happy 2013! My family rang in the New Year at our home this year and it was a good one. Certainly it started the right way – with my #9 ranked University of Minnesota Golden Gophers men’s basketball team beating Michigan State. Bring on the Big Ten basketball season! Then it ended the next morning […] Read more…
Christmas Tree and a Menorah
Lutheran. Jewish. Christmas. Hanukkah. So which is it? For my family, it’s always been a bit of both. If you happen to be looking for the only Jewish farmer in Renville County, I can introduce you – he’s my Dad! And on Saturday, my sister and brother-in-law hosted a special Hanukkah lunch in his honor. […] Read more…
