Good glorious morning from Collegeville,

What a difference one week can make. It showed 39 degrees on my on-board temp display and the i-Phone read the same. This was the first time that it did not dip below freezing overnight this spring. The flooding may have been slowed in the Fargo area and it looks like Long Prairie River is going to over flow its banks also.

Millstream Village is not in a flood zone and perhaps the boys can start moving the dirt pile and get the patio and driveway finished. The temporary loose rock driveway worked out just fine. They should be able to salvage the rocks and use them for landscaping. Tomorrow I plan on hanging up the wind chimes. I am hoping to find out when the Sisters will move the fish to the fish pond. I have never been able to watch that very special sign of spring. By the way, the cottage is now a free Wi-Fi zone.

Next Friday night, May 3, is the grand opening of the new Gallery Saint Germain in the newly re-opened Regency Plaza across from The Paramount Theater. It starts at 6 Pm and will go until 8. The first show will feature the work of Artists Guild of Central Minnesota. Admission is free. I hope to see you there.

The A Prairie Home Companion show this week is a live performance from Lubbock, Texas. Special guests include all-star West Texas troupe, The Flatlanders, and country singer Ashley Monroe. The Royal Academy of Radio Actors plus The Guy’s All-Star Shoe Band and the latest News From Lake Wobegon. Enjoy the show.
