    Memorial Day Weekend.

    May 25, 2015 - By ldurben@charter.net

    So the unofficial start to summer – Memorial Day weekend – is nearly over. The sun came out on Friday and tonight, but in between it was cloudy, cool, and rainy in Minnesota. (I give you Exhibit A above – a look at my brother’s shed on the farm from…

    High Five for Friday | Or How Laziness Ensues

    March 20, 2015 - By ldurben@charter.net

    I figure it was 16 hours tops. That’s how much sleep I got total on Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday nights.  Some people don’t need 7-8 hours of sleep a night, but I happen to not be one of those people. This is why it would be more than a slight understatement…

    The weekend before … the big week.

    March 14, 2015 - By ldurben@charter.net

    When I leave the house on Monday morning, I will be heading into Saint Paul for what is easily my busiest week of the year. It’s almost time for the 2015 Midwest Poultry Federation Convention, an event our office spends months planning for and the thing that accounts for probably…

    High Five for Friday!

    February 20, 2015 - By ldurben@charter.net

    Okay, so what day is it exactly? I completely lost track when I was in Puerto Rico a week ago for the National Turkey Federation Convention. (Don’t hate me because I just wrote that. Admit it – you would be the same way.) I got back late Sunday night and…

    High Five for Friday!

    January 16, 2015 - By ldurben@charter.net

    It’s Friday night and I’m almost headed out the door to have a little dinner out with my boys, Joe and Teacher Man. Joe is, oddly enough, finishing his homework now because he told me he “doesn’t want this hanging over his head all weekend.” Who is this boy? The week…

    Weekend Wrap-Up.

    December 21, 2014 - By ldurben@charter.net

    It’s been a big weekend around here. My niece, Miss Morgan, turned 1 today and we attended her first birthday party on Saturday. Plus our beloved Earl the #Pug turned 14 (14!), also on Saturday. Sunday was a beautiful mix of baking, laundry, blog writing, piano playing, and watching The Sound…

    High Five for Friday!

    December 19, 2014 - By ldurben@charter.net

    Happy Friday, everyone! It’s been a busy and productive week leading up to Christmas and I’d say I have just a few small things to cross off my to do list and I’ll be ready. Apparently I’ve been a little lax at documenting my week in photos, so I’m just…

    Ode to Joe (and Other Weekend Musings).

    December 7, 2014 - By ldurben@charter.net

    It’s Sunday night and Joe and I have assumed our usual Sunday night positions on the couch: I’m blogging (um, obvi) and he’s watching a show on Netflix on his iPad. Oh, and Earl the pug is content to lay at our feet and snore the evening away while Teacher…
