It Has Been A While!
I can't believe that it has been over two weeks since I posted to the blog. I will be making up for lost time with a few pictures and words.
The will be no particular order to the events, just random events and my usual blabbering.
Recently we broke away for a few hours to go geocaching in some areas where we had never been before. We looked for six and came up with four of them.
This one was cleverly hidden in a tree.
We found another very small cache (film canister) hidden at the base of a sign on a bike trail.
One of the best parts about geocaching is the scenery that one discovers along the way.
How about these flowers?
Another great day in the the wonderful Minnesota summer weather.
Tune in again real soon for another episode of "Now What Are They Doing?"

Coyote Ridge Construction Update
It has been a few days since I spared you the details of our construction project so if you are interested, read on my friends.
Construction gurus Bruce and Mike have been bust mudding and taping. They finished that multi day project Wednesday and commenced sanding Thursday. Once the dust settled, they put a light "knock down"surface on the walls and ceiling. We like the look as opposed to flat surfaces.
I just received an email from Bruce saying that they would be here Monday morning to clean up the floors and prime the walls and ceiling. Then the paint and the building of the cedar beams that will encase the horizontal supports will be put up. There will also be beams that run up the cathedral ceiling. After the painting, they will install a 5'x4' window where the door to no where was.
I think they will install the fireplace hearth slate tiles and the stone fireplace backing next week as well. All of that has to be in before they start laying the wood plank floor.
So there is the update.
Tonight we are going to Patrick's On Third in St. Peter,MN to watch my nephew and niece's husband perform. They are in a band called "Useful Jenkins". They are REALLY good. We are taking Sue's folks with us and meeting more of the family there. It should be a lot of fun and of course we will have pictures for you afterwards.
The weather here today is delightful. It is sunny and in the low 50's with highs near 60 on Sunday. The weather prognosticators are telling us that we will have temps in the 60's through Tuesday. No complaints from me!

Please....Make It Stop!
Enough is enough!
We have had a real winter this year as opposed to the "fake" ones of recent years.
It has been just nuts....cold, wind and snow. In moderation it would not be so bad.
Here is the latest weather forecast:
Forecast for Mankato:
Updated: 12:04 PM CST on January 14, 2009
Wind chill warning in effect until 12 PM CST Thursday...
Rest of Today
Sunny. Patchy blowing and drifting snow. Highs around 5 below. Northwest winds 15 to 20 mph. Wind chill readings 25 below to 35 below zero.
Tonight
Colder...clear. Lows around 25 below. Northwest winds 10 to 15 mph. Wind chill readings 35 below to 45 below zero.
Thursday
Sunny. Highs 5 below to 10 below zero. West winds 5 to 10 mph.
Thursday Night
Mostly clear. Lows around 20 below. Southwest winds around 5 mph.
It is getting so cold that certain body parts are disappearing. That worries me!
But, being the hardy (some call it foolish) Minnesotans that we are, we complain about it for a few seconds then move on.
I guess it is finally time to break out the winter coat and gloves and toss them in the back of the truck just in case we stall out somewhere in the middle of the boonies.
