Frost

One of my favorite paintings at W.A. Frost in St. Paul. 

Obama in Saint Paul

President Obama was recently in St. Paul and made a stop at the Grande Ole Creamery on Grand Avenue. The ice cream there, in my opinion, is really heavenly. It was reported that Mr. Obama ordered a single scoop of Black Hills Gold in a waffle cone. I'm sure Michelle would have frowned on a double scoop. I've never tried, let alone heard, of that flavor. I might just have to put it on my list.

Capital

Noel and I went to the History Museum today. This is what the sky looked like just after a downpour and just before another one. This is one of the wettest Junes I've ever experienced. I think we're on track to beat the record set back in the 1890s. 

Dixie's On Grand

Noel and I ate at Dixie's on Grand today. I had a shrimp po' boy and she had a pulled pork sandwich. Delicious. Up above the bar there's a toy train that runs. Constantly.
