Summer Part Deux Can you believe it's August already? Time needs to slow down, or we need more summer months. There's just so much to do around these cities and so little time to update my web page. Last update I left off right before the 4th of July, so I guess we'll start there. We headed down to Harriet Island for the Taste of Minnesota. Live music, tasty food, tons of people and of course fireworks. |
