I am using the us-ie that Colby apparently took of he and Sophie for the picture of the day because it is so good. Good job, Fluffers. You are so cute.
Donna and Nancy hit the road this morning after we watched some of the 2021 West Side Story (Keith and I finished after they left). We waved from the front window. They had to stop backing up twice in the driveway just to laugh hysterically. They know how to enjoy a day. Bye sisters! Thank you for coming!!

On our way to the theater in White Bear Lake, we saw a block of good Minnesota citizens. I was so busy yelling at Keith to honk that I didn’t get a good picture of how many people were out. Good job, people!

Someone shared on FB excellent things written about MN.







We saw The 39 Steps play. I don’t even know how to describe it. It was a true tour de force by the actors. Two people played dozens of parts. The set, the costumes, the accents, the everything was amazing. If this afternoon hadn’t been the last show, I would reallllly encourage you to see it.

Tom and Louise went with us to West Side Story tonight. It was the best of the three times I’ve seen it. We were closer to the trumpets, so we could hear Keith better than I have been able to. Louise posed by a former college president, so I could send the picture to the sisters, and they would feel like they were there again.


Minnesota, ya sure you betcha! You know when we moved to WA (over 30 years ago now) people asked where we were from, because we had accents. I told them MN and then said “no. Minnesotans don’t have accents” ( with a minnesotan accent). While living there, I didn’t know we had accents! 😁
Traveling internationally we are often mistaken for Canadian. We gladly accept being Canadian!
