Happy New Year!

It's the day after new year's and I am feeling much better. Still recovering.....but much better. Mike has been just wonderful! taking care of me the last few days. We went shopping yesterday, the first time I'd really been out of the place since last Thursday. We had our first significant snowfall on Friday evening, so staying in wasn't all that bad! It's been in the 30s but the snow really hasn't melted much. It will be up around 40 for the next day or so, maybe what snow there is will melt off before the next batch due in next week.

As much as I love Minnesota, this strange lack of snowfall and the warmer temps are OK with me! Mike and I are not much for winter sports, but Mike does love his snowblower and I'm sure he misses his chances to use it!

It's been a long day. Laundry calls! Love to all,
Mike and Gail

Almost Christmas

Well, it's almost Christmas....I haven't posted since I went to my niece's wedding, which was just beautiful. You can see some of the photos in my scrap gallery (link is at right). It was wonderful to spend time with family and I celebrated Christmas with Amy and Jared and the babies while I was there.

I have been sick for a week (a cold that turned into sinus infection) in spite of the fact that I got my flu shot on 12/4.....guess it was too late! Anyway, I'm on meds and on the mend, feeling much better.

Mike is going to his mom's for Christmas weekend, I'll be home.....things are really confusing in my life right now so I'll be lonely and probably depressed...lol....I have no idea why I chose to spend the holiday alone, but I made the decision so I'll be fine. I think I will try to find a Christmas Eve service at a nearby church, and I'll find something to do over the weekend (probably sleep and finish recovering from being sick)!!!

Love to all, and to all, have a blessed holiday!

Git-R-DONE..............

On November 10, Mike and I went to the Orpheum to see Larry the Cable Guy. Little did we know he was taping his next comedy show over the weekend at that venue......I was so bummed out, since we had awesome 7th row seats, which was cool, but because they were taping the show, no cameras were allowed. He was very funny anyway, and I guess in the end, who needed the still camera......I'm going to have the whole show on tape! You might even see us in the video :)

Wow...it's November!?!

Well, we've been busy with our usual pile of leaves the past couple of weeks. We've even endured a few snow flurries (the first was Oct 14!)

Mike and I did take a trip to the Minneapolis Zoo - my first visit there - on September 26. It was a gorgeous day and a wonderful visit. Here is one of the three SHARKS we saw at the aquarium there:

We also saw the Dolphin show...I absolutely loved it! I'm so glad Mike made me go ;)
Not much else going on, I've been working on opening a new store which should go live next week. More info on that later!!

Love to all!!

Eric Clapton and Cold Weather!

Well, the usually nice Minnesota September weather didn't make it this year. It's been unusually cold...brrrrr....only in the 40's today.

Mike and I went to see Eric Clapton on Saturday the 16th. He really rocked - I liked this concert much better than the one I saw two years ago.

Not too much else going on...Next show we have planned is Larry the Cable Guy in November :)

Love to all!

Minnesota State Fair

In September, Mike and I went to the State Fair. It was a lot of fun....we walked around, grazed on fair food (corn dogs, fries, chicken on a stick, uffda treats, and sno-cones). We didn't do any of the wild rides (finding our way through the crowds was wild enough!), but we did pay to go into a butterfly room, which was really neat.

Oh and I did get to see Lori and Julia, a couple of my favorite radio personalities here in the cities :)
