METRO Blue Line light-rail/Hiawatha Avenue

I'm so happy light rail has become a reality. Minnapolis had one of the best street-car systems in the country when it was dismantled in the 1950s [?] in the name of progress. That was before my time. I remember reading about efforts to bring about light rail in the late 70s and early 80s. It became a reality in [?]. Everything old really does become new again.

More from the Modernism Gallery at the MIA

I was quite taken with what I saw in the Modernism gallery.

Matisse at MIA

This is not actually a painting but a background you could pose in front of. Noel and I weren't feeling like getting our pictures taken but I still thought it looked pretty enough to snap a photo of it.

Matisse Exhibit at the MIA

 Noel and I went to the Matisse exhibit at the Minneapolis Institute of Arts today. This painting was one of my favorites.

The Lowbrow for Sunday Brunch

Dale and I skipped church and went to The Lowbrow for brunch today. He had bacon and eggs. I got a buttermilk pancake and a sandwich called The Truckstop. It's egg, sausage, and cheese on a fluffy white bun. It's delicious.

Lake Nokomis

I took this photo of Lake Nokomis last week on a very cold day. This is not far from the beach Mom used to take us as kids.
