A Pied Piper

There are always musicians and music at the St. Paul Farmers' Market.  Yesterday was the first time  I saw a musician involve the children in a square dance to the delight of onlookers.  He looked like he and the kiddies and the children were enjoying themselves!!

High School Seniors!!

School has barely begun, but already the seniors are out and about, doing their "traditional" little tricks. Foam sprayed on the lawn next to the T-P'ed trees was their signature--"Seniors"--lucky homeowners.

Beautiful Babe!

The daughter of friends of ours adopted Anthony right after his birth. The grandparents couldn't be prouder!!

Friends of the Children

I haven't posted any St. Paul murals for a long time, but this one caught my eye. Actually I've been looking at it for a few years whenever I visit the ice cream parlour next door to it. The mural represents a national philanthropic organization called Friends of the Orphans. Recently it has received some favorable press in the St. Paul Pioneer press newspaper. Read this article to discover how dozens of people in Wisconsin and Minnesota raised 3.5 million dollars to build a hospital in Haiti where 50% of deaths are those of childen! Today I stopped in their office to check about volunteer activities.

PS. I just tipped the scales at 250 blogs for this blog!
