Not sure how many of you all enjoy thrift shopping, but here in Minnesota along Hwy 35 we have some awesome thrift stores called Family Pathways. Rachel and Emily can attest to that. They start in Hinckley and head south to Forest Lake and branch off to the east to St. Croix Falls, WI, and west to Cambridge and a few others over there.
Today my friend, Nina, and I are "hitting the highway" to thrift. First up is St. Croix Falls, then a new store in Lindstrom, MN, then heading north and hitting as many as we can before we are exhausted.
I will have to let you now what treasures I find.
Also, for us old folks, Tuesdays are senior days so you get extra discounts!!!
Happy Tuesday!

Fall in the Northland
Things have changed since my last post.
Today we took the garden down. Picked the beets and baked them. Had some for dinner and will have some again tomorrow. So sweet. Picked the last of the Swiss chard yesterday. Put some in eggs this morning.
Over the last week we got 3 inches of rain. Lake Superior was just wild, not sure if any of you caught that or not.
The weather has been cool. With the rain and wind we lost lots of pretty leaves, you just have to look down now instead of up. Our 2 biggest maples still have leaves, yellow and orange.
We had 2 mature bald eagles and 3 immature on Thursday in the "Raven Tree" behind the shed. Today it was definitely the "Raven Tree" as there were at least 10 ravens perched on the branches. I notice the birds are getting much more active now that fall is here, lots of blue jays and robins. I miss the robins when they go.
Tomorrow my sister and I are going to a live performance of the radio presentation of War of the Worlds at the Lincoln Park Middle School. That should be pretty awesome.
Happy Fall Y'all!
