Sunday February 20, 2011

They've been saying for days we were going to have snowstorm today. I wake up to this. Cloudy but no snow yet.

As usual I get up before Scott.

Sunday's are Pick-On-Peanut days.

I start making breakfast.

While it bakes in the oven I get dressed.

It has started snowing so I figure its a sweater kind of day.

Mmm pannekoeken or BIG PANCAKE.

This is Scott's "why do you always have to take pictures of me face"

Because I say, I'm the only one taking pictures"

We have things to do snow or no snow. We stop at Theodore Wirth to look at a possible wedding venue.

We like what we see.

Then we go to our favorite antique store Hunt and Gather. Everything is 20% off this weekend. We find a few things to spruce up our house.

Since we were close by we go grocery shopping at the new Linden Hills Coop. Not to sound snobbish but we were disappointed with the stores lack of local items. The bulk section didn't have any noodles either. We probably won't be shopping here again.

I get the job of clearing snow off the car.

We bought a new chair for our living room at Hunt and Gather.

We have a late lunch. Leftovers from Crescent Moon, goat cheese on an epi baguette and a mandarin.

We decide to do more wedding planning. We looked up prices and caterers.

Scott then braves the blowing snow to go to CVS down the block.

He comes back and says "I hate those shades you can't see outside." And walks over and takes them down.

I work on the centerpieces.

while Scott does lazy man dishes.

Then we both watch TV. Me on my computer and him on the TV.

Then I receive a very exciting text message!

Scott prepares dinner: Spinach Cannelloni.

Lots of spinach in our dinner again.

We have dinner late. Because we're cheap and like to save on electricity we eat our dinners in candlelight.

Good Night.

Tettegouche Camp Birthday Weekend 2.0

Another year around the sun means another birthday cabin trip. I originally thought going to Canada would be fun. We also looked at a few Hipcamps in Wisconsin and Minnesota. I was worried a few weeks ago with the warm up that we'd have to find somewhere north to find snow. Then we had the huge snowstorm. Long story short, we found ourselves heading back to Tettegouche Camp. I spent a whole day looking for the perfect rustic AirBNB or Hipcamp, but then Brooke brought up Tettegouche Camp. I always forget about the long hikes or wood fired stoves. When we got to Duluth we decided to try out the new Duluth location of Grand Marais' Hungry Hippie Tacos. As usual our eyes are bigger than our stomachs. We shared a chimichanga and nachos, but should've went with there signature fry bread tacos. Daniel was really excited for us to play games on the VR headset. So, that's what they did the rest of the night. Meadow and I shared a bed. I just couldn't get over how beaut

Florida or Bust: Jack White's Bronco, A Tennessee Mystery Cave, Georgia Mountain Camping, A Diner with Talking Birds and Alligator Bait

Day 3 Paul was already at work when we woke up. Since we arrived at night Erin offered to show us their giant backyard. The previous owners had atv's and made trails through their little woods. Little Wally wanted to show us his new walking skills.

Playing in the Snow, Attic Floors and Skating with Cake Eaters

Snow got dumped on us again. They originally predicted 28" but we only received 13". Only...Minnesotans like to complain whether we get too little or too much. It was a big snowstorm over three days! The kids playground is starting to get buried. Now there's not much of a fall from the monkey bars. Meadow was home from school all week due to the snowstorm. She was done with e-learning early on Friday so we headed to Woodlake Nature Center to go skiing. This place is perfect for us newbies. No trail pass is needed and it's only a 2 mile loop. On Saturday Theo and I did some drawing together. You need to start an art project to get Theo to draw or craft. Otherwise he's happy playing video games or building PicassoTile magnetic masterpieces. Now that the upstairs is clean, and before we start prepping the floors, I tackled my giant mending pile that's been accumulating since last summer. We were back on team stain and poly the pine floors upstairs. I tried a
