Welcome to the Wednesday newsletter! I don't know how this happened, but I wasn't fully aware of the fact that this coming weekend is Memorial Day weekend until this morning. I had heard/seen a few things that made me think that might be the case and finally googled it. π I did also find out that this year is the earliest possible dates for it since it's always observed the last Monday of May, so it's only this early if May 1st falls on a Tuesday. The holiday weekend also means it's super...

Happy Monday! I hope your weekend was good. This was the first time this year we got out to garage sales and spent some partial days hitting the citywide in Richfield Thursday, Ramsey and Elk River Friday, and Kingfield and Armatage in Minneapolis Saturday. The sales are hopping this year! If you missed Friday's newsletter you can still see it HERE. While most events/deals are past, you can still enter for a chance to win FREE tickets to the Minnesota Aurora Home Season Opener until 11am...

It's Friday! The weekend is here and it looks like summer is here - especially for today! I guess it's time to dig my summer clothes out of the attic. That's the problem with an old house with tiny closets combined with Minnesota's changing seasons! If you missed our Wednesday email, check it out HERE for more about Belwin Bison Festival, Art-a-Whirl and Rock the Barn at Dodge Nature Center all happening this weekend. Besides those and the weekend events shared below, you can also find more...

We made it to Wednesday! I hope your week has gotten off to a good start. Mine has been a bit crazy and it's all related to vehicles. Our SUV has been in the shop with broken A/C (and now found part is backordered for a few weeks), the spring on our garage door broke so couldn't open that AND the side window of our pickup was smashed in! I'm hoping the rest of the week is much more uneventful. This weekend is the BIGGEST weekend of the season with over 40 entries on our Minnesota City Wide...

Here we are back at Monday again. I hope you had a good weekend. Mine was good and included a lot of driving yesterday, but I was lucky to avoid most of that fishing opener/Mother's Day traffic with back roads and leaving early. I am NOT a traffic person! Now we're on to a new week! If you missed Friday's newsletter you can still see it HERE. While some events/deals are past, you can still read about St. Cloud Restaurant Week happening this week and a few other things. We're still getting new...

TGIF! The weekend is here and it looks like a nice one. I'm glad it looks to be warming up a little bit as we're going to head to opening weekend of Valleyfair for my nephew's birthday. They have new owners and I'm interested to see the changes. The big one will be the remodeling of the waterpark, opening Memorial Day weekend. If you missed our Wednesday email, check it out HERE for more about big plant sales happening this week and next, Doors Open Minneapolis and the Springtime and Sunshine...

Happy Monday! What a beautiful weekend it was. I spent as much time as possible outside. I had hoped to hit garage sales since there were SO MANY Citywide/Neighborhood sales, but only managed to sneak in a few Saturday morning. I had been lamenting the fact that I hadn't gotten to sales because there are a few things I'm looking for like a lawnmower, yard wagon/cart, etc. Luck must have been on my side because when we got home late yesterday afternoon our next-door-neighbor was having a yard...
