Cathedral

Picture from today put out by the Minnesota Historical Society. The cross at the top just glows. Gorgeous early fall day today.

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.
