For those affected by water~~ I’ve been back at work for more than a week now and can feel the hopelessness of those that lost so much with the flooding in southern Minnesota and Wisconsin. And again I think of the “hope” that’s so hard to find for so …
Though the riding is over~~ It’s Monday morning and although it’s a “day off” I’ve got the chance to talk with Don Boxmeyer who’s with the Pioneer Press here in St. Paul. Now that the actual ride has been completed, Don wants to do a follow-up on the great summer. …
There’s no place like home! Today was the first day back to work and I’m grateful for having a job to come back to:) Especially the one I take pride in as a letter carrier for the U.S. Post Office. Though we had a bad storm on Saturday night, no …
