Lunch

Today I enjoyed lunch with an old friend.

She lives in New York now - in her cute Brooklyn apartment. She works as a teacher to inner-city children. She recently raised $15,000 to fund class trips for inner city kids to see a musical on Broadway. These kids are from NY - right there among all the wonderful arts that draw so many tourists to the city each year. But in no other circumstance would their families ever afford to take them to a show. I admire Jen and what she is doing to bring a pocket full of sunshine to lives that really need it. It was great to see her. It was a fantastic lunch at a fantastic cafe with a fantastic person. We all need more of that!







Valentine's Day

I hope you all had a wonderful Valentine's Day whatever you were doing! Peter and I had a low key day/evening. We went shopping and out to coffee that afternoon. Then, my wonderful husband cooked me a lovely candlelit dinner for two at our place that night. It was great!

Ice Caves


I'll be honest - I hate winter activities. I am a firm believer in hibernating during Minnesota winters. I typically do my best to stay inside and pray for spring to come sooner than later. But, this past weekend Peter and I were invited to go up to a cabin in Northern Wisconsin to tromp around in ICE CAVES! I have to admit - it was one of the most majestic experiences of my life! I had NO IDEA that there could be something so beautiful in the winter. With time, the rough waves of Lake Superior have created big divots in the land..so that when the lake freezes in the winter, caves are formed that you can explore into. What's inside are wondrous havens of ice formations that will leave you breathless with their beauty. We had such a blast climbing in and out..feeling like arctic explorers! I would recommend that anyone in the mid-west (or farther) make a trip up to Bayfield, WI for a winter wonderland adventure :)
