Saturday, January 10, 2026 We don’t always eat; sometimes we talk about food; sometimes we look at food. It was a pretty great day – Mom and Dad and the kids out for a day. We went to Alexander’s favorite Thai restaurant (The King’s in Spring Lake Park). I had drunken noodles that were just

Saturday, January 3, 2026 Dave and Anne invited us on an outing to the Twin Cities Model Train Museum. It was way, way more than I expected. On Saturday afternoon/evenings through February they are hosting “night trains”. The lights are off, letting the lights from the exhibits show the way. The Christmas decorations are still
Friday, January 2, 2026 Keith just went off on his own this morning. He took his bent trumpet to be repaired. His repairman friend is in Red Wing, so it was an hour away. He has never been to the shop and he said it was so interesting – FILLED with instruments. You never know
