German Shepherds are such a beautiful breed of canines.  Meet Chester, our Animal Allies Pet of the Week.  He is a German Shepherd mix and is smart, he already knows how to sit and heel.

I've really never been one to have a bucket list.  I consider myself lucky to have been able to participate in so many crazy, wild, fun and amazing things due to my job.  But, if I did have an actual bucket list I don't think I'd have death defying activities on it anyhow.  Instead it would list things I've always wanted to do and hope that I get time to get around to it.  That happened during my

Think about it, there are a lot of things sold in the produce department that don’t look edible. for example a kiwi, star fruit or a pomegranate. Of course, we learn from others that these are indeed edible, but what about the “fruit” you see in the picture, these are found in the produce department.

It’s smack dab in the middle of grilling season and you have probably exhausted all your family favorites, steak, shrimp, chicken breasts and pork. I have seen lots of different recipes for tin foil dinners on the grill and have always wanted to try one while we were camping. This is the recipe we chose this past weekend. It was easy and I used pre-cooked grilled chicken for ease and food safety.

The 12th Annual Minnesota Mile will be a bit more scenic with the new one mile loop to be moved from downtown Duluth.  Registration is now open and fills up fast.  Whether you are a seasoned vet of running or this is your first race, it promises to showcase Duluth's finest views.

It was the Friday before the 4th of July weekend and we jumped on the computer to buy our Minnesota fishing license.  We fell for a scam which I blogged about previously.  We called, complained and were promised our money back.  We thought we had avoided the issue, but it gets worse.

They are known as one of the world's top handbell ensembles and we are proud that they call Duluth's First United Methodist Church their home.  I have been a fan since the inception of Strikepoint in the mid 80's when my cousin was a member.  This particular performance will be their homecoming concert from their summer tour.

Our Animal Allies Pet of the Week has got the most unique markings on her face!  Her name is Molly and she is a  beautiful tan and white American Shelter Dog Mix.  She's a mere year and a half and looking for a loving forever home to grow old in.

Recently while out on the pontoon with friends fishing I snapped my line, yes with a dang fish on it.  We needed to fix my line and my husband asked me to get some sinkers out of my tackle box.  When I opened my tackle box I was surprised to find basically nothing. "This is all I have?"  I need your help to fill it.
