Good morning from Collegeville,

This week we set a new record high of 95 degrees here in central Minnesota. The leaves on the trees literally burst out overnight. The landscape changed dramatically and now our thoughts can turn to spring. High school senior students are in the last days of the best times of their lives. We had adventures like “borrowing” a row boat and rowing across Cedar Lake with a broom. We called it “senior skip day”. In my case that was 52 years ago and now the term “senior’ has a different meaning.

I still am the only resident of Mill Steam Village in St. Joseph, but there is one home site that has been reserved. The cottage next door is now open for inspection every Thursday from noon until 2 PM. The “Cottages with Care Services”, which are rental units are under construction. I still have a couple of “Lost Trout Brown Ale” in the frig, so if you are in the neighborhood, give me a call.

The APHC show this week is a rebroadcast of the season’s opener from The Fitzgerald Theater. Special guests include The Derailers, Ira Glass, soul sisters, Jearlyn and Jevetta Steele and singer Holly Jones. Enjoy the show.
