Public college dude leaving for work now. Betcha Carole is working out there in Joisey too.

We get Veterans Day off, though - will be back in the midwest then. Much better for traveling than Thanksgiving or Christmas.

No work for me today.

Kiddo had to go to school, so I still had to get up early.

We didn't shut down either.

I'm off today !! I work for the post office.

Gonna be in the high 80's......Wooo !!! Enjoying it while it lasts, cuz it's supposed to be in the 50's by the end of the week.

Heading out to lunch at Salsitas (a local mexican restaurant) with a couple friends.

No day off around here either. Did have an exciting morning though. Carbon monoxide/gas monitor went off at 6:15 this a.m.!!!

The alarm was LOUD and screechy. The monitor said GAS and we ran out of the house into the rain as quickly as we could while I grabbed a phone and screamed do not turn off/on lights. We left the door open and I fumbled around for a phone number so I could call the gas company outside. Hubby went back into the house to get phone book after 6 minutes and alarm was off.

Gas company said it would reset since we had doors open so still wait outside. Youngest and hubby left for work and school and I waited in my pjs for them to come. Got the all clear when they couldn't find anything. Said false alarms happen once in awhile. Whew! Guess I'll go buy a new monitor today.

Yikes! Bad way to start the day even if it was a false alarm.

I was more worried about being seen in my pjs and the messy house.

Guess I need to pick up the laundry today, too.

Doing laundry here. Wife and daughter headed back from Georgia today, so best tidy things up a bit. Been fun being a bachelor for a few days.

NorthMinnesota · 10-08-2007

Went on a little trip to Pella, Iowa this weekend. Oldest had a soccer game at Central College. What a nice campus and darling town! The Pella doors and windows company has it's corporate Headquarters there. I had never heard of this town before and I want to go back and explore. There is an historic downtown and the bulidings are very unique. Loved the windmill!! And the Dutch bakery was phenomenal!!! Had a pastry known as Dutch Letters and I am now hooked! The bakery is supposed to be know all over the country...it's called Jaarsma Bakery. Yummmmmm! If you get a chance stop and visit this area in Iowa. Wish I would have had more time there to stop in the shops. I love finding quaint little towns.
