In Minnesota, it is very unlikely that we will experience an earthquake.

Off-Topic / Re: Do you allow friends to come on family vacation?

Family vacations should be for family when you end up spending lots of money.  Our florida vactions are just for family.

In the summer we spend two weeks at a cabin at a nice resort.  We have had lots of company there and it is welcome.  The adult company usually buys dinner or food or something else.

Tulips are the first ones that catch my eye in the spring.  My lilacs do not come out until the middle of May and they smell so good.

Off-Topic / Eating bananas

« on: April 13, 2012, 12:00:27 pm »Message ID: 520139

When you peel a banana, do you also peel off the strings that cling to the banana, or do you also eat them?  I always peel every one of them off.  I guess they are edible, but I don't want them.

Today is Friday, the 13th day of April.  Some people are superstitious on the 13th if it happens to follow on a Friday.  Are you?  I am not.  To me, it is just another day.

Cold in Minnesota.  We were at Clearwater Beach, Florida a few weeks ago and it was a beautiful beach.

I am a big reader.  I often find the movies aren't as good as the boks.  Sometimes they change the whole ending.

I grind my own coffee beans and like the flavored kind.  I am too cheap to pay big bucks for a cup of coffee.

I saw it when it first came out, and I think that was enough for me.

Off-Topic / Bunny footprints

« on: April 03, 2012, 03:43:18 pm »Message ID: 515200

When the kids were small, the Easter bunny visited and left baskets and hid eggs in the house.  One year we got the idea of having the bunny leave footprints from the door to the baskets.  We had a small bowl with some flour in it, dipped our fingers into the flour and then made footprints with our fingers.  The kids loved it.

Do you folow their directions?  I recently had to look up directions and found out they were routing me in a long round-about way.  It turns out I could go north five blocks and then straight west to get to my destination.
