We spent some time this afternoon enjoying the 35 degree weather and lots of sun by visiting Mill Ruins Park.  The park is pretty much located underneath the Stone Arch Bridge right below the Mill City Museum.   This picture is looking up the hill towards the Guthrie Theater and Mill City Museum from the Mississippi River bottom. 

We drove to Wisconsin to have dinner with some new friends.  They used this cheese store in Alpha as a landmark. It is always fun to visit the country and see the moon and stars so clearly!

Our city councilman brought together the state legislators that represent his ward. They enjoyed bashing the governor and talking about their agenda and it’s impact on the city.

Today I had to fill in as a History Day judge for awhile.  I’ve had to do it each of the past 3 years. It is always interesting to see the variety of topics and exhibits. I did History Day in junior high and went to state both years by doing a performance. 7th grade was the Underground Railroad with a friend – we were runaway slaves. 8th grade was about World War II – I portrayed my Grandpa’s experience as a radioman on a cruiser in the South Pacific. Both were done in front of the entire student body! Obviously, they were valuable experiences. 

Today marks the one year anniversary of when I started feeling heel pain, which we call Plantar Fasciitis.  In honor of this anniversary I wrote a blog about "Curing Plantar Fasciitis".
