Fun trip
I had a great time in Chicago. It was fun to spend time with my friend Jess and help her straighten up her apartment a bit. Mostly, though, we just hung out. We watched movies, went out to eat, got our nails done, and simply caught up. We went swimming a couple of times at [...]

good eats
Hello from Oak Park, IL! I am having a great time visiting with my friend Jess. The best part?!?!? We’ve indulged in plenty of ethnic food (something Duluth is severely lacking in). I’ve been here for a little over 24 hours and we’ve already had Thai, Mexican and Middle Eastern cuisine. Definitely no complaints here!!!

Berries and Bargains
Two of my favorite things about summer in Minnesota: 1. Wild raspberries and 2. Rummage sales. Fortunately, there are copious amounts of both in these parts.

Star Sighting
So, I may be one of the only people who finds this cool, but I saw the lead singer of the band LIVE today. My mom, sister and I were driving from an area of town called Canal Park and he was walking across the street toward that part of town. Pretty sweet. The band [...]

Strawberry Fields Forever
My Aunt Sue invited me to go strawberry picking yesterday. Fresh strawberries…sign me up. It was an incredible day to go picking: a little overcast with a soft breeze. I think the fields just opened up for picking last week and so there are still plenty of berries to go around. I decided just to pick one [...]
