Some of our topics include: what constitutes a snow emergency, how early are the plows out, does anyone actually call the plows by their fun little names, what's up with parking, what's that stuff that we spray on the roads before the snow storm, what's the most difficult type of snow to remove.

How did you know I've been quilt-curious for years?

I love sewing clothes, but quilting has been on my radar for a lonnnng time!

We LOVE Dan Marshall in this house 🩷

Previous faves include Lowertown Bike Shop and a MN State Park pass (the latter is less exciting this year as I've gone car-free).

Maybe 2 tickets to the Walker? A day at the Zoo?

Good news! We aren't a business, it's a nonprofit organization. And just like thousands of other nonprofits, we depend on donations to cover costs for things like keeping our website going and doing outreach events.

Happy to be part of your learning journey today!

Folks will lose their SNAP benefits next week. 42 million of them. 1.1 million just here in MN and WI.

So our food banks will be stretched really thin. I'll be sending some $$ to my local food bank so they can help keep my neighbors fed next month. Even just a little helps.

My tax money helps a stranger have fruit and vegetables. A Thanksgiving dinner. Snacks for after school. It helps stretch a parent's paycheck.

I may never need SNAP benefits myself, I know that. But for $32 a year, I can help a neighbor not suffer.
Doesn't that seem worth it?
