Good morning from Collegeville,

Today would have to be a “10” weather wise. It is awesome when these days fall on a Friday and it looks like it will go into the weekend.

My son and his wife are throwing their 3rd annual “thank you that no one was killed in the tornado block party” tomorrow. Last weekend he and his buddies won first prize for their “wings” at the rib and wings fest in Wadena. The latest report is that there will be 58 pounds of savory pork and 40 pounds of brisket along with the “award winning wings”. If you are in the neighborhood of fifth and Irving in Wadena late in the afternoon tomorrow, stop on by.

PLEASE come to the garden north of the parking lot behind Millstream Shops and Lofts and pick some cherry or grape tomatoes. I broke out in a rash on my chest so I am afraid to eat more tomatoes. The big tomatoes belong to another loft resident but there are some great Mexican orange flowers that you are welcome to take also.

The APHC show this week is a baseball memorabilia show with Sam Bush singing a song for the great Ozzie Smith, “Casey at the Bat” and Lefty drives cows out into right field. Other guests are Dave Frishberg with a song called “The Catbird Seat” and Pat Donohue with “Opening Day”. Garrison tells the story of the day that Babe Ruth came to Lake Wobegon. Enjoy the show.
