Memorial Weekend in MN
Saw Julie Thursday night. Met at Oak City with Drew and Anna. I have not seen Julie since August. It was nice to catch-up!
Faith and I!!!
After swimming Friday afternoon, Sara and I had Faith try on dresses at a local thrift store.
At the dam in Pine City with my aunt and Faith before visiting my great-grandma. When my great-grandma still had she house, after Thansgiving all the women and kids would walk to the dam. It was nice talking about old family memories with aunt Kim.
I love lilacs! They smell wonderful, very fragrant!!
More flowers!
A view of downtown Minneapolis from Lake Calhoun. Drew and I walked around the lake (3.1miles) after dinner Saturday night. It was a wonderful, resting weekend!Monday, May 18, 2009
Fringe Festival
I just signed up to volunteer for the Fringe Festival July 30th and August 7th in Minneapolis!! This will be my fourth or fifth year volunteering. Love it!! From the website:
Q. What is Fringe?
A. Minnesota Fringe is a Minneapolis-based nonprofit organization whose mission is to connect adventurous artists with adventurous audiences. The biggest way we do this is by organizing the Minnesota Fringe Festival, an annual eleven-day performing arts extravaganza. In 2008, we issued 40,929 tickets to 154 shows. Most Fringe shows are 60 minutes or less and there's a 30-minute break between each show.
Q. When is Fringe?
A. Thursday, July 30 through Sunday, August 9, 2009 is our next festival. Give or take, Fringe is always the first two weekends (and the sandwiched weekdays) of August each year.
Q. Where is Fringe?
A. In the Uptown, West Bank and Northeast-North Loop districts of Minneapolis. In 2008, there were 14 venues standard Fringe venues and BYOV (Bring Your Own Venue) locations for site-specific works.
So as of right now, the plan it to arrive in MN 11pm on July 29. Probably volunteer at three shows for the Fringe Festival then get ready for my camping trip on the 30th. July 31st thru August 6th, Faith, I and eight other are to to backpack around Isle Royale, an island off of Michigan. Volunteer at another three shows on the 7th. My dad is getting married on Saturday the 8th. Then I fly out back to Dallas on Sunday the 9th. Four days later I leave for my Berlin, Vienna, Prague and Budapest trip!!!

Grandparents
Its my grandma and grandpa using their walkers. My grandma had her hip replaced on Christmas Eve day. I believe within a month she should be able to just use a cane. My grandpa has a severe stage of Alzheimer's disease. This picture was taken by my uncle. My grandma and him were visiting my grandpa in the nursing home.

a new restaurant I want to try
Cafe Agri opened at 4300 Bryant Avenue South in Minneapolis last Saturday, offering a menu emphasizing fresh local and/or organic ingredients. Vegetarians and open-minded omnivores may be intrigued by the hazelnut asparagus and seared maple tofu, which features a tamari, citrus, chipotle, and kiwi marinade and coconut purple rice. Meat-eaters may zoom in on the seared Wisconsin trout, which includes an herb rub, root vegetables, and leek. Either way, the menu is intriguingly conceived.

Minneapolis Restaurants that Support Local Farmers
Red Stag-
Sustainable, organic, and local. The Red Stag Supper Club is a great neighborhood joint new to Northeast Minneapolis with a menu created by Chef William Baskin formerly of Cosmos Minneapolis focusing on fresh and seasonal products. As the first LEED-Certified restaurant in Minneapolis, the Red Stag is a new concept blending health (both personal and environmental) and lifestyle into one incredible place to eat. http://www.redstagsupperclub.com/
Spoonriver-
Serving the finest gourmet natural cuisine, Spoonriver, is the logical evolution of its accomplished owner, Brenda Langton, who has been committed to locally produced products and healthy eating for decades. Spoonriver is the chic sister of Langton's Cafe Brenda, an award-winning Twin Cities institution that was far ahead of the curve in serving organic, and vegetarian cuisine when it opened in 1986. Spoonriver is just across the plaza from the Guthire Theatre. http://www.spoonriverrestaurant.com/
The Craftsman Restaurant and Bar-
The Craftsman serves regional New American cuisine. We purchase most of our products from local growers and producers.We use organic and chemical free produce, meat, and fish. "Most of the food products we use are produced locally by independent growers and producers. The Craftsman is selective about the quality and nutritional value of the food we serve." http://www.craftsmanrestaurant.com/
Corner Table-
"Our food is a reflection of the local agriculture in the Upper Midwest. Corner Table sources as much as possible of our meat and produce from small family farms in and around the state of Minnesota." http://www.cornertablerestaurant.com/home.htm
