20° in mid-November? Go outside!

The wind is a bit nippy high on the Mississippi River bluff in Lilydale Regional Park, but the view is worth it.

65° in mid-November? Go outside!

Tired of sidewalks? A field trip to the Dodge Nature Center is just the ticket. These were on the Marie Property (PDF) south of Marie.

Too bad the camera wasn't handy to capture the two bucks fighting over a skittish doe.

More of this, please

Member ES has a mission to recycle as much as possible and reduce the waste that winds up in landfills. By the way, it makes money for the co-op too!

So, by doing less of this




and more of this



ES brought in $89 in October. A big hand, and let's all not pitch in.

Safe and Sound!

A report given to the November 2012 board meeting confirms it - the Fire Department's inspection of our building found no violations or fire risks.  Let's keep it that way!

Vote like you mean it!

Get yourself one of these!



Augustana Lutheran, the polling place for RealifeWSP, is right at the bottom of our west side path.


Speaking of our grandkids, here is some relevant Dr. Seuss:

You have brains in your head.
You have feet in your shoes.
You can steer yourself
any direction you choose.
You're on your own.
And you know what you know.
And YOU are the one who'll decide where to go....
Oh, the Places You'll Go



Step with care and great tact
And remember that Life's a Great Balancing Act
Just never forget to be dexterous and deft
And never mix up your right foot with your left.
Oh, the Places You'll Go


Unless someone like you cares a whole awful lot,
nothing is going to get better. It's not.
The Lorax

Chili Days

The Open House gave prospective members and volunteer tour guides a chance to score a bowl of member ND's world class chili. The recipe's a secret, but ND shared this advice: "not too much chili powder when you are serving the public."

Yum!
