Saint Paul MN - Overflow and more

 

Mayor forum tonight down the street so I wandered down.  The chairs were full the wall were full and all the space in between - lots of interest in the upcoming November election.   

Granite Falls MN - One more day of Meandering

Next day we wandered off to Granite before heading back to the Cities.  Another hot and windy one - 90F once again.  

 

Clarkfield MN - Harvest time

 

While we roamed the countryside enjoying the day, Byron, Kenny and Ben were busy bringing in the beans and corn for the season.  

The boys jumped in for a ride when they showed up and Maura hopped in with Kenny to have the combine experience.   

Watson MN - Hunting for more hidden treasures

One last stop for the day in Watson.  Hot, sweaty and tired but we meandered and spent a bit more.   

Ortonville MN - Here's looking at South Dakota

 

Last year we arrived in time for the parade.  This year we just had to put up with the 90F temps.  

You can take in South Dakota just on the other side of the water.   

Madison MN - Lutefisk Capital

 

Can't miss a photo opportunity with a fish - Minnesota thing to do.  Lutefisk Capital no less.   

Canby MN - New stop on our yearly Meander

 

Back to Western Minnesota for our yearly Meander with Betty.  Added Maura and Jodie to the crew this year.  

They added Canby to the list so we started off there - and it didn't disappoint.  

Saint Paul MN - Hanging with Lynn

 

Big night out in Saint Paul with my longterm friend Lynn.  We live at opposite ends of the City but don't hang out often enough.  We met in the middle and had a great night out.   

I have been to the Palace for after work events and now for a concert - great venue.  And Jon Batiste.   

Fort Lauderdale FL - Weather was full on hot and humid

I have never seen so many lizards out and about when I have been anywhere if Florida.  All shapes, sizes and colors.  May the time of the year that they are everywhere or maybe it is the ongoing heat and humidity. 

Sticky days and after some occasional storms it just was that much stickier.   

Saint Paul MN - Celebrating Kathy

 

A bit of a birthday celebration for Kathy - great start to the week.  

Anoka MN - Sunday fun day

 

Caught a Sunday afternoon show and dinner with the sisters and Byron - at Margie's Kitchen, of course.   

Sydney NSW Australia - One final wander

Last day before the long trek back home.  It turned out to be a beautiful and warm day - so everyone was out everywhere I wandered.
