What does it need?

We have all had this problem. You complete a project, you stand back and say to yourself, what's missing? I have that problem, what's missing from this project. Does it need something or is it just me. So give me your ideas, post a reply or send me an email. Lets see, if you can add, that finish touch.

The Weekend

The summer weekends are in fun swing at our house and with summer, come the car shows and the County Fairs. We start off the first Fair of the season, with the Hennepin County Fair. The ribbon count: Ted 11 and Kim 54. Not a bad way to start the year off. And my nephew Chris, won 2 ribbons on his beer. Then there is was the Back to the 50s car show, at the State Fair ground. 11,000 cars, thousands of people and fog, mist and rain. But, I we haven't melted yet from being wet, so we stuck it out. Next weekend, the canning operation goes into gear and the floor in the kitchen is sticky all summer.

Mall of America

Oh the great Mall of America, a destination for 40 million people each year. But what 99.9% of those visiting don't realize, is that they are within walking distance of one of Minnesota's best kept secret. The Minnesota Valley National Wildlife Refuge. http://www.fws.gov/midwest/MinnesotaValley/ When you fly into the Minneapolis Airport, the area to south, looks like one big swamp. Will, it kind of is. But, it's a swamp you can walk in. And it is not all wet, the trails are dry, the trees are large and the bugs are hungry! Did you know, that there is a trout stream that start less then 1,000 feet from the entrance to the mall?

I thought you mike like to see, a couple to photo's not associated with the MOA.

Scott and Heather's Wedding

Just when you think it's never going to happen, Heather gets married! Now, if you know Heather, she dated more men, then I dated women in college. But, then along came Scott, and the the dating of others STOPPED. Could it be we thought, that Heather has found the one? After a few years of dating and testing the waters, the wedding date was set. And this weekend, the two where married. Now, if dating a lot of people has anything to do with how long you will be married? Kim and I will celebrate our 25th year, this summer. Congratulations you two!
