ohh Gracie

Meet Gracie… She is the sweet puppy of my cousin. After the Minnesota winter rained on my parade once, we finally found a not too frigid morning that actually had sunshine to make this photo shoot happen. But you know what really gets me about that last statement?...

My Victim

… Kinda a scary name for a post, eh? Let me explain. A few weekends ago I got to spend a very relaxing day+a bit out at my aunt and uncle’s place in Riverfalls, WI working on art projects, watching football, eating great food and breaking TVs. I also got to spend some...

Good ‘ol Minne-sota

Do I Hear a Yahoo?

I have a new computer! Horay!! And it has a web cam. I’ve always thought web cams were a bit on the silly side. I’ve never really had the need to chat with someone through my computer visually and instead I have found texting or email to be a very suitable...

weddings are big!

That is my overall statement from going to 2 weddings of late. I think they are fabulous affairs that quite clearly take tons of man hours (and $$) to put on. No, I’m not so naive to have never know this in the past, its just that the weddings I attended...
