Stillwater After A Day Shooting The Birthplace of Minnesota

Scott had a shoot in Stillwater and we decided to tag along. After walking along the river we stopped at Teddy Bear Park.

Then Scott met up with us at Valley Bookseller where they had every Waldo book imaginable.

We got a couple of snacks at Candyland before exploring downtown Stillwater.

After working for Stillwater for a number of years, Scott knows all the secret spots.

We also had to stop at the other bookstore, Black Letter Books.

Theo thought he looked so cool in this old chair.

We noticed Waldo at this store and thought it was just because it was a bookstore. It turned out there was a scavenger hunt to find them throughout town.

So we stopped in all the stores that had one.

The street approaching the Stillwater Lift Bridge is now a pedestrian plaza. Much better than when all traffic from MN 36 was funneled through town.

If inflatable things survived at the cottage we would totally get this.

Somebody would definitely pop it. But it's so cool.

I got a flat tire on my bike this week. Because it's an old vintage bike, finding a bike tire was more difficult than I thought. Today would have been perfect to bring our bikes along.

The kids are super picky about eating lately, we finally settled on pizza.

What happened to my adventurous eaters?

I had been wanting to get a tablecloth for our picnic table as it's hard to wash off and it had developed an oil stain. Found this one at Target that had built in weights.

The Romenesko clan loves tablecloths. It just needs to be stained!

We love the Minneapolis Parks outdoor movie nights. I biked with the kids to Lynhurst Park for Trolls Band Together.

I'm guessing I was busy painting on a rare cloudy, but not rainy day this summer.

The next night Meadow was at a sleepover.

We made a stop at Mall of America where Theo and I rode the rollercoaster. I look thrilled.

We ended the night at Nicollet Island to watch the Aquatenniel fireworks.

Over the River & Through the Woods to Grandmothers House We Clean

My mom had wanted us to come down to my grandparents home to clean for months. Unfortunately a busy summer had kept us away. We finally made it a week after our honeymoon ended. We slept at my parents home in Cudahy before heading down to Racine. We got home from our trip on Tuesday and left for Milwaukee on Thursday. It was almost like an extended vacation. Before leaving the cities we stopped and had dinner at Foxy Falafel. It was pretty good and I like that she uses sprouted chickpeas. I never knew my grandparents on Poppyseed Tuska's side so Grandma and Grandpa Wojcik were a special part of my life. They both passed away last year after living nearly 90 wonderful years. Their home was always a wonderfully warm and inviting place. The perfect place to spend your Christmas Eve in front of a fire place. Since it's going to be sold, Brooke and I took on the massive task of organizing and cleaning the home. When Scott told me h...

7 Days Down, 158 Days To Go

Umm, well I ended up having a longer Christmas break than I had originally thought. It went really well until the last few days. I had dreaded this day since we met, I always knew it was going to come, but yet I ignored that it would ever happen. Saying goodbye to Scott was the hardest thing I've ever had to do. I've had to do that so many times last year and I still have to do it. If I can get through January and February and I think I will be ok, or so I keep telling myself. I took out a second loan and it got denied, so I'm still as poor as ever until I can figure out what I'm going to do. I'm so glad school starts next week, being alone all day is very hard. I left Scott Thursday night and headed back to Little Chute, which I was glad I did. We're having some family issues concerning my dad's business and the death of his friend. It tears me up to see him like this. I wish I could've stayed home longer. I pretty much did, I left home early Sunday mor...
