Another week is here and summer is in full swing. While other people head to their cabins for a boat ride on the many lakes of Minnesota, I’ll be participating in the local fairs and flea markets. After running around to a few stores, I finally gave in a bought a vendor pop-up tent becauseContinue reading “Summer Lovin’”

Friday Blues
Friday is supposed to be about going out after a week of work and celebrating with everyone who survived the grind but I’ve been silent this week about some not so great news. Earlier this week I received an email that got me really down. I learned that someone broke into our art shop inContinue reading “Friday Blues”
Market Hunting
Earlier this week, I checked some of my reliable venues for the summer only to find one that decided not to hold events this year due to health reasons. Good thing I started researching new opportunities this spring. A few phone calls later and I have a new spot this year. I’m excited and nervousContinue reading “Market Hunting”
Market Adventures
I thought my blog was going to be filled with summer road trip stories in Minnesota but how could I forget city life. During the summer in downtown Minneapolis and St. Paul you can expect Thursday and weekend Farmer’s markets, Twins game crowds, and many summer music and festival events. Although many locals feel likeContinue reading “Market Adventures”
Writing the Future
Not only did I get my travel bug out of the way but I managed to sneak in a few more episodes of The Mandalorian because a writer’s interest in other worlds is always on upload mode. I thought about how each episode required new sets and my husband proceeded to tell me that mostContinue reading “Writing the Future”

Saturday Road Trip
This weekend was full of adventure as I made my husband get up at the crack of dawn to drive over three hours away to Shady Hollow Flea Market near Lake Melissa. This market is a few hops from Detroit Lakes, and about 45 minutes away from the North Dakota border near the college townContinue reading “Saturday Road Trip”
Kindness
Friday is finally here and there’s a break in the wet weather this year. I was driving over one of our rivers in Minnesota and noticed how high the waters are here in Minnesota. My nose wrinkled with the thought of our unofficial state bird breeding more as the temperatures rise. Yes, wetter weather meansContinue reading “Kindness”
Dan Brown’s 13 Steps to Writing a Thriller
This week I’ve had theme of kindness and paying it forward but I can’t forget about the hungry pens out there. Thursday is our lesson day and one lesson that I would recommend is #13 from with Dan Brown from MasterClass. I’ve shared a few segments from his lessons but if you want to knowContinue reading “Dan Brown’s 13 Steps to Writing a Thriller”
Minnesota Life
The first of the month is here and I can finally bear the midwest humidity a little bit more because I have air conditioning again in my car. No more melting makeup or skin stuck to the seat as sweat drips down my back. I can breathe easier in cool, fresh air without bugs flyingContinue reading “Minnesota Life”
Workday
Is the long weekend really over? Well, I’m glad I missed all the traffic this weekend by waiting until non-jam hours. I think everyone in Minnesota skipped town on Thursday after work instead of Friday. The weekend was rainy off and on, and left puddles in the fields in and over the state border butContinue reading “Workday”
Happy Memorial Day!
Happy Memorial Day! I hope you make time to remember friends and family, and think of those who served our country. I spent time with my parents this weekend and had siblings and a nephew stop out to visit. We sang, “Happy Birthday” to my nephew and talked about how he’s turning 14 already. WeContinue reading “Happy Memorial Day!”
