Farewell Twinkies

They have played their last game in the Humphrey Dome. Next home game will be in 2010 in their new home, Target Field, where they will hang their pennant for this year.

Vikings 38 vs Rams 10 = Vikings 5 - 0

At home or away.... on Monday or Sunday :-)

Color in Minnesota

Yesterday with an in&out sun we enjoyed the color of the Saint Croix River valley, north from Afton State Park. Lunch was a greasy blue cheeseburger @ Leo's in bustling downtown Stillwater. Then north some more to Taylor's Falls for ice cream! Lots of memories of family trips & picnics there many decades ago. The color was splendid, especially when the sun accented it....sumac & maples at their best. Oaks and others not at the peak.

Happy Minnesota Sports Fans

Monday night it was Brett Favre and his Viking teammates with a victory over arch-rival Green Bay to lead the conference with a 4-0 record to start the season.

And then yesterday it was the tale of overtime!

The Twins, before 50,080 in the Dome and a record 15,136,000 watching on ESPN, pulled it out 6 to 5 over the Tigers in the twelfth inning. Now they go to New York for a game this afternoon against the Yankees who have beaten them in their last eight games in New York. Good luck, Twins!

And across the river at their home opener the Wild came from behind by three to beat Anaheim by 4-3, also in overtime. Cassie, Robert and Erin, may they also win their home closer on April 10, 2010.

Today happiness is a MN sports fan. Tomorrow???

Vikings 30 vs Green Bay 23 = Vikings 4-0

Keep going Vikes.

Twins turn @ the Dome this afternoon for an all-or-nothing.

Surgery over

We're home. Surgeon was very happy with his work.

In Janzey's words: All done and well done.

And she can walk. Rehab starts a week from tomorrow.

Surgery day for Janzey's knee

Stay tuned.
