The months of November and December always seem to go by in a blur before we head into a new year. The days are full of family and friends, good food and drinks, and time to relax. November marked two years since we said good-bye to my grandma - so Shawn and I went out to the cemetery. Afterwards we stopped at Summit Brewing and had a beer in her...
Time is starting to go faster and faster as we begin to approach the holiday season. October 2018 was one full of absolutely wonderful memories and a month that will never be forgotten. There was time with friends and time with family. The month was full of mini-adventures, breweries and visiting new places. Frankie being the only child that he is, was spoiled with a new plaid hoodie and Halloween treats from...
September is that weird month where it's a mix of wrapping up summer and moving into fall. We kicked off the start of the month with two more trips to the Minnesota State Fair on September 1st and 2nd. We went on the second Saturday of the fair.
