With Santa Claus

 

Former Eagan mayor, Tom Egan, and his wife, Betty, posed with Santa last year. Fun Facebook foto. 

Last to know

 

It was "National Cookie Day" but I missed it. Nonetheless, I send you my sweetest, belated wishes.

Trash picking update

 

This was my 37th bag of trash since April which I picked up on my Sunday morning walk around the Eagan Outlet Mall. It's crazy how much litter people selfishly throw just anywhere! Ugh!  

#monochromeMonday

Overboard?

 

Too many Christmas lights or not? What do you think? As seen off Johnny Cake Ridge Road. 

Brick by brick

 

The apartment building in the Cedar Grove neighborhood is really coming along these days! 

Seasons change...

 

It seems like Kowalski's was just showing pumpkins but already we're thinking Christmas again! 

It was evening.....

 

.... and the Christmas shoppers had mostly all gone home. 

It's decorated!

 

After our Thanksgiving dinner, my daughters helped me decorate my Christmas tree. Is your tree up yet?

Frosty on the first

 

This smiling snowman was posing next to a lovely lit Christmas tree! It's December. It's Advent.

Lights in the December nights

 

Christmas lights brighten the dark nights of December. We're hopeful in this season of Advent. 

All trimmed....

 

Happy first of Advent. People are decorating and preparing for Christmas.

Santa and his trees

 

Santa was at Home Depot with lots of pre-lit Christmas tree options. Which would you pick? 

Turkey and trimmings

 

We also ate homemade lefse and drank sparkling cider. Cranberry cake with butter sauce nicely finished our Thanksgiving meal.  

Just us

 

We'll have no grandparents and no extended family for Thanksgiving dinner this year due to Covid. But we give thanks for our many blessings, good health and delicious food.  

Happy Thanksgiving! 

Stuffed bird

 

The turkey is stuffed with whole onions and lemons. Under the skin, a mix of butter, parsley and some other secret ingredients will flavor it! It's almost ready for the oven on Thursday morning.... 

Happy Thanksgiving!

Handsome house

 

 I spotted this lovely home driving through an unfamiliar neighborhood in Eagan. What do you think?

Jamie's view

 

On a recent walk through Lebanon Hills Park, Jamie Hopkins snapped this fab foto! 

On Eagles wings

 

These two bald eagles were captured by Cathy Patterson Miller's camera at Trapp Farm Park.
