Helping, and Ranting
Well, we have survived the massive snow dump on the Twin Cities. We pitched in and helped some of our neighbors with snow moving, and a few neighbors helped us. I love how the neighborhood rallies together, and the sounds of spinning tires pulls people out of their yards and into a group task of freeing the stuck vehicle.

Honeymoon
Terry and I took off for the North Shore yesterday with just a vague idea of what to do when we got there. I had Gooseberry Falls State Park on the list, and that was it.

July 4th weekend in Chicago
Ah, Chicago is the Midwest rollerskating Mecca! I tell you. The skill level of the adult skaters is awesome. The music booms and is scratched and remixed by the DJs there.

Let your light shine
“Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate. Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure. It is our light, not our darkness that most frightens us. We ask ourselves, Who am I to be brilliant, gorgeous, talented, fabulous? Actually, who are you not to be? You are a child of God. Your playing small does not serve the world. There is ( Read more... ) -
YouTube3-- Big Wheel!
OK, this is what I mean when I talk about Big Wheeling. This is the sway. Dan says that I gain speed with every lap, which is why I asked Terry if he could keep up while videoing. This used to be the most difficult thing I could do, and I had male skating partners in my adolescence who would shadow me because I was the fastest female who could do ( Read more... )
