Perfect Day For A Parade

Pine County Dairy Ambassadors ride in the Moose Lake, MN 4th of July parade. The parade is an annual tradition for our family going back four generations. It's a quintessential small town parade with hand-made floats, fire engines, farm implements, hot rods, politicians, and princesses and ambassadors galore. The highlight for many of us is the fly-over of two air force fighter jets. When the parade ended and the jets didn’t make an appearance, we assumed they were the victim of budget cuts. But they were the perfect ending when they came screaming overhead as we walked back to our cars.

A Taste of Europe in St. Paul

And again, the Landmark Center. Clearly one of my favorite buildings in St. Paul.

Tall and stately and palace-like.

The Good Old Days

An old menu from the Nu Cafe found on a wall in Augusta, Wisconsin.

T-bones for seventy-five cents and a ham sandwich for a nickel. Oh, the good old days.

Dingle Peninsula

Rugged beauty. Ireland's Dingle Peninsula and the Atlantic Ocean.

Landmark Center

This is one of many entrances to Landmark Center - a grand, old building in St. Paul. It was built in 1902 as a federal courthouse, and is now owned by Ramsey County as a serves as a cultural center for music, dance, theater, exhibitions, public forums, and hosts countless special events.

Brooks Building

Brooks Building in St. Paul. I don't know much about it, but the architecture is beautiful.

Lucy is forever in love with Schroeder in St. Paul.
