Frosted Oaks

The snow covered oak trees looked so beautiful on Thursday morning under a blanket of fresh, fluffy snow. #MonochromeMonday

Scholarship recipient

 

As an annual scholarship donor since 2013, it was my pleasure to present my $1,000 Achievement Financial Linguistic Scholarship at tonight's Eagan Foundation Scholarship Awards event to Eagan High School senior, Natalie Quick. She will study Neuroscience and Spanish at the University of Minnesota. 

Thanks, Olivia

 

Wednesday was "Administrative Professionals' Day" so I thanked Olivia for her work in my office. 

April showers........

 

Friday was a rainy morning and kinda grey weather, but.......

Balcony update

Sorry to dwell on the cold temperatures..... it's - 10 degrees Fahrenheit ( - 23 Celsius) this morning.

Tonight's forecast is - 18 below Fahrenheit....! (When we add the "wind chill factor," then it's even colder!

Autumn at Achievement

 The fall colors at our Achievement Financial office on Tuesday morning were magnificent!

With artsy friends

 

Rotarian friends from the Eagan Kickstart Rotary and others joined me in my office for my art "Vernissage" on yesterday's beautiful autumn afternoon. We shared wine, appetizers and a love of  original art.

Fabulous Friday

 

In spite of our drought in much of Minnesota, the yard around Oak Cliff Place is green and lush. My Achievement Financial office is here. 

Decorating orchids

 

These fresh orchids will decorate the tables at tonight's Eagan Rotary Club's Charter Banquet. We'll celebrate in style with dinner and a yearend program at the Lost Spur Golf Club. 

Award for Abby

 

It was my pleasure to award Abby with the "Achievement Financial Linguistic Scholarship" today through the Eagan Foundation. She's my eighth annual award recipient. She'll study Arabic and International Studies in Washington D.C. this fall. She graduates from Eagan High School this Saturday. 

Rainy news

 

It was a rainy day in Eagan on Wednesday but that makes the snow melt! One day closer to spring!

Another Rotary round

Due to a sudden job transfer, our brand-new Eagan Rotary Club president, Mike, had to resign. I received the Rotary Club of Eagan's charter certificate as the new club president for a second time. My office assistant, Olivia, helped me hold the framed piece of history at our Achievement Financial office.

50 Shades of Green

The lush green view from my office balcony is particularly lovely after so much rain!
