    A Little Bit About My Monday.

    April 28, 2014 - By ldurben@charter.net

    Happy Monday, all! It was a gray, dreary, windy, cold and rainy spring day here – barely surpassing 40 degrees, not that I noticed or anything. The only saving grace on this ugly day is the fact that I can actually use my favorite umbrella! Of course, the real (read:…

    Turkey tussle, anyone? A few years ago while coordinating the annual Thanksgiving Media Day for the Minnesota Turkey Growers Association, I attempted to shoot a little video for our members, letting them know what was happening and thanking them for their assistance and support of this event.

    Family Togetherness in the Florida Keys

    April 3, 2014 - By ldurben@charter.net

    I think it’s fair to say I have never (in my whole entire life, actually) wanted a spring break vacation more than this year. The day we left to begin our travels to the Florida Keys, it was barely 14 degrees with a frigid northwest wind – on March 22, mind you.…

    Note: I wrote this post last Sunday but didn’t have a chance to post it when I arrived in Florida. The picture below is of Joe and his cousin, Audree, not too long after we checked into our resort. 🙂 As I write this, I am traveling to the Florida…

    Easter Egg Traditions and Perfect Hard Boiled Eggs

    March 25, 2014 - By ldurben@charter.net

    Are you ready for spring? I am – with a double exclamation point!! The calendar certainly indicates it is spring but in Minnesota, this always takes a little longer than we’d like here in the North Country. In the meantime, I’ve been getting into a spring mood by ordering from…

    Wordless Wednesday: Silly Selfie

    March 5, 2014 - By ldurben@charter.net

    A silly selfie before we all go to bed … another Wednesday done and in the books, another step closer to the things we’re looking forward to: Me – My convention (the Midwest Poultry Federation Convention) and, immediately following, recovery and relaxation on our spring break vacation in the Florida…
