Our family has lived in many of northern Minnesota's small towns, both of the Twin Cities: Saint Paul and Minneapolis and, as well, several Minnesota farming communities. We have now lived for almost 25 years in the historic Dayton’s Bluff neighborhood of Saint Paul. Familiarity with the length and breadth of this wonderful state has sparked my desire to share it with others.
This is an exciting time to explore Minnesota.
- We are celebrating our sesquicentennial year---150 years of statehood.
- We are hosting the 2008 Republican Convention.
