Reasons You're the World's Best Mom

1. Just look at those gorgeous kids you made. And besides...
2. The necklace says so
3. The mug says so
4. The T-shirt says so
5. The key chain says so
6. The baseball hat says so
7. Your kids say so--when they want something
8. Your husband says so--when he wants you
9. Your mother-in-law doesn't say so, but what does she know?
10. Because we said so

Dinner by Lake George

Lake George is near St. Cloud State's campus, and it was rainy during the day. However, during dinnertime, Keona and I went to the downtown library and Wendy' s for food. Then we went to Lake George to eat and then walked around the lake.

Canada

After the interview and the HRC dinner, I went to drive around. I don't know much about Detroit, but from the building of the interview, Canada was right across the river! So, I eventually crossed the border into Canada. In all these years of living in Minnesota, and going to Ely, I have never crossed the border to the north. It took a trip to Detroit to go cross the border! Here are some pics:

This is the Ambassador Bridge.
I went into Canada through the tunnel, and left via the bridge.

Here is a picture from the Internet of the whole bridge:
