Montreal, July 5-6 2014

After a busy fourth of July party we needed a break so we spent a weekend in Montreal. It was a nice getaway in a beautiful city. The Montreal Jazz festival was taking place so we enjoyed a bunch of great outdoor music.

Brynja helped out my friend Dave at the World Famous Red Barn Berries in Shell Lake this summer. She was able to bring home some of her hard work to share with the family.



30 Year High School Reunion

It's hard to believe that 30 years have passed since I graduated from high school with all these people. We had a terrific weekend with a get together on Friday night at the Upstairs Rueb, and then the more organized party Saturday night at The Grand.

The annual Northfield boys up north weekend took us to Gull Lake this year. Naturally we had to stop at Ernie's for some Greenies (and Orangies and Pinkies, etc.)
