Tuesday, February 7, 2023 When you spend money at the Mall of America pre-Christmas, you can earn rewards – tickets to Camp Snoopy* (the amusement park), Fish at the Mall** (the aquarium), Something Else***, or a mall tour.

Tuesday, January 31, 2923 We heard today that the Mississippi River Brass Band is headed to Paris and Normandy in summer 2024. Today’s potd is from 10 years earlier (June 2014, the last time we were in Paris). Viva la Band!

Monday, January 30, 2023 Have you watched School of Chocolate on Netflix? It’s a reality show – but the people are there to learn; they don’t get voted off. The host is an amazing chocolatier, who can apparently make anything out of chocolate. We watch him on YouTube now and then, and it is always
