Yes!! I've heard that! Enough already! It's like everyone telling me it's rainy in Seattle (which it isn't really). In fact, Minneapolis certainly isn't the coldest place in the world.

ReplyDeleteWelcome. again. =)
ReplyDeleteI'm not sure about what they call mountains (if they have any) back east. The picture on the left is at Snoqualmie Pass and the one on the right is somewhere in one of the Dakotas I think.
Both pictures are from the drive to Seattle last year.
How slow am I? I just got the title of the new blog.
ReplyDeleteSo, on the picture on the right, is that what back East they call a mountain in the back?
The picture reminds me of something out of On the Banks of Plum Creek. That would be so cool if you got to live in a dugout.
