Skating lessons

Our daughter was learning with the rest of them! 

Snow fort

Some kids carved a cave into this huge snow bank along their driveway along Covington Lane. Remember doing that as a kid? I do. 

Yellow beast

With our record snowfall this winter, we have often seen snowplows! 

You got mail!

The mail truck brings letters, bills and packages...

Got snow?

Our two younger daughters and Elsa the dog - play time!

Carsons' trees

So much powdered sugar on those trees - yummy!

Chamber music

Our youngest daughter played with a violinist and cellist at Sara Stephens Kotrba's Suzuki Piano Studio yesterday afternoon. What a great musical opportunity!

This tree seems to be buried up to its neck in the parking lot snowbank.

I ate chicken, carrots and potatoes for dinner last night. How about you?

Gray day, no play

The baseball diamonds and volleyball courts are snow covered and abandoned! Maybe in 3 more months...

What would you do with Powerball winnings like this?! $284 million (Minus 50% for taxes)

No more drinks. No more happy hours. No more lunches. 

Glamorous for Rotary

Eagan Rotary exchange student, Jose' from Spain, happily posed with the lovely ladies at last night's annual Eagan Rotary gala fundraiser. "Winter Games" was the Olympic theme!

The Wilsons and Rippleys smiled as the 370 guests arrived in the Eagan Community Center.

VIPs and Guests surfed the many silent auction tables to bid while socializing and enjoying appetizers with their adult beverages!

Rotarians, business people, local politicians and the area beautiful people gathered to support the fundraising of the Eagan Rotary Club.

Corporate sponsors wore blue ribboned medals and added over $40,000 to the revenue raising extravaganza!

The delicious dinner and program concluded the evening with the exciting live auction as the "dessert!"  Preliminary estimates are a total of almost $65,000 raised!
