Unemployment and salvation in books

Salvation lied in books for the period of time that I dealt with un-employment. How Michael Connelly books saved my sanity. It was fun to write about this adventure in my life but I really can't say I would want to re-live it.

LARGEST NUMBER OF GRADUATES EVER AT ST. SCHOLASTICA; COMMENCEMENT CEREMONY IS MAY 11 AT THE DECC

My sister, Stacy, recently graduated from St. Scholastica. She has diligently worked at accomplishing this while working full time, wife, and mother of two teenage kids. Her commitment and perseverance have paid off. Congratulations Stacy. We're proud of you.

Rain, rain, go away! It's a dreary day in Central Minnesota.

After so many months of snow, we had our last snow storm two weeks ago, it is nice to see the countryside turn green. I suppose this rain will help wash the last of the winter grime away. Can't wait for the first flowers to bloom, the tulips haven't even flowered yet due to the late snow.
Another busy week comes to a draw.
The soup business is slowly picking up again, we've had several case orders this week. Thank goodness we don't have to rely on soup sales to pay our bills, we would be out on the street by now. But hey, at least we'd still be eating healthy, Shiitake mushrooms and gourmet soups. ;)

New photos added to the Jager Foods web-site

It was over a month ago that Silke and I went out to West Virginia! We finally added the photos to the web-site. You can see them at:

Minnesota finally got a nice day so we decided to work on our golf swings. 24 golf balls and lots of laughs later we might have developed our own technique.
