Summer sausage?

A busy day this morning, sort of an industrial mish-mash out our window on Eden Prairie, as the Amazon Fresh grocery store races the nearby apartment complex for completion. Temperatures will favor workers all week long after our chilly spring. Get ‘er done!

 

Whaddya mean, you're not interested?

 

"Our nest isn't going to fill itself."

A Good Man

 The President’s eulogy at the Walter F. Mondale Memorial yesterday inspired us to dig out some memorabilia and reflect on our times with this “good man,” as Joe Biden called him. Yesterday Biden revealed an intimate and long-standing relationship with the man who welcomed him in his first days at the Senate, and never stopped being an important fixture in his life.

We cherish the pictures of our nights at the Mondales in D.C. where, a busy man preparing for his presidential run, still had time for photos, a nice visit, and a box of Poppycock at his kitchen table, shared with two thrilled constituents from his home state.

Rest in peace, Fritz Mondale, a Good Man.

We'll take it!

For some of us here, a new bud can spark as much joy as a basket of roses.

Behold! The sun has broken through in Eden Prairie! And the blue moon was there to bear witness! April 8. Now Play Ball!

 Goodbye March. You were nothing special this year. As usual.

Last chance?

 

Sensing the passing of winter today, a shaggy dog got the most out of the shrinking snowdrifts, stopping at each to wallow, to the delight of her owners. Hoping for 60 degrees tomorrow.

We think this will be a very special spring, we will put so much behind us. So many new beginnings. Bring it on!

Welcome to Wendy's!

 

Flashing that smile that won her over as an infant, our grandchild finishes another order at the Wendy's  drive up that employs her twice a week. She manages an A average in her studies and is delighted to have the extra money. Still 15, going on 21. Growing up so fast! Driver training in May!

Her pants are wet, but she always had a smile when the afternoon nap was over.
