I've heard of hit men committing murders in parking ramps, but nothing prepared me for this shocking scene when I left to go to work earlier this week. Apparently there had been an ongoing investigation into a holiday decoration conspiracy, right under my nose.
Thank goodness, by the time I got home the carnage had been cleared. I still get the willies just walking past it on the way to my car. Read Full Story
Since I was tiny girl attending mass with my old dad, crowded into a pew with my many siblings, I have watched the church organist with fascination and the utmost respect. How do they do what they do? They're up there at the front of the church, Sunday after Sunday, organized, full of confidence, hands and feet working the keys and pedals and clicking buttons to get just the right sound. They made it possible for me to sing at the top of my lungs, giving me a chance t... Read Full Story
It's no secret that my friend, Melanie, and I don't know what we're doing half the time. The beauty of operating this way is that we are open to spur of the moment adventures. Yesterday was no different.
First of all, the weather was unseasonably warm for November, putting us in high spirits. Our goal for the day was to get to Mankato to take pictures for a project I'm working on, and on the way we ran into a pesky detour along highway 169 in St... Read Full Story
Kasey and Jayvyn invited me to visit the MN Harvest Apple Orchard near Jordan in southeastern Minnesota for my birthday a couple of months ago. Well, heck yeah I went.
I believe in feeding the spirit. I'm not sophisticated enough to meditate or digest self-help books, but I am able to raise my vibration to a whole new level by just plain being in the presence of nature. Of course, I haven't always appreciated being in the midst of nature. Back when I was a kid, ... Read Full Story
LHSC Halloween Psychic Fair
Sat., Oct. 31st, 10 AM to 5 PM & Sun., Nov. 1st, 1 PM to 5 PM
I've attended the Psychic Fair twice, and I look forward to attending again this weekend with my old college friend, Penny. The Lake Harriet Spiritual Community, located just blocks from Lake Harriet, in the Linden Hills region of Minneapolis, welcomes all faiths. It is inclusive, rather than exclusive, like so many religions tend to be.
While in the Linden... Read Full Story
When Melanie and I were driving along the river-bottom road near Morton, Minnesota, we came across a couple of men in space suits. OK, they weren't really space suits, but they looked like spacesuits. We were curious, so we pulled up next to them and I said, "Hi there. Whuddya doing?" Pretty cheeky, right? And kind of corny too, since it seemed pretty obvious they were doing something with beehives, and also, it was none of my business.
Fortunately, these men we... Read Full Story
Chief Ernest Wabasha, of the Mdewakanton Tribe in Morton, Minnesota
Melanie and I traveled to southwestern Minnesota to visit with her good friends, Chief Ernest Wabasha and his beautiful wife, Vernell, at the Dacotah Ridge golf club, which, I was advised, is one of the finest courses in the state. It certainly is lovely in its primitive setting.

We were also joined by a couple of engaging young women, Teri and Marisa, from their clinic... Read Full Story
