Having Fun Creating A Collage
Posted on 30. Oct, 2010 by Lenore Bleifuss, Local Artist.
A collage can be a fun project for any age, adult or children, and no experience is necessary. The idea is to put on our thinking cap and unleash the creativity which is hiding somewhere inside each of us. Long ago, I cut up many assorted magazine pictures of things that I liked, and covered old coffee [...]

Cornwall, England.. A Trip to Remember
Posted on 30. Oct, 2010 by Lenore Bleifuss, Local Artist.
In 1997, a group of my women artist friends and I journeyed to the southern most part of England, which is where Cornwall is located. My relatives came from St. Ives, Cornwall, England, so I was particularly interested in researching the area, which I had heard so much about over my childhood years. Traveling through [...]

Posted on 30. Oct, 2010 by Kelly Hocks.
I would have never imagined this would be such a full body workout. I am a mother of two boys ages 5 and 2. We were at the park yesterday and my youngest son wanted to swing. He wasn’t old enough to swing on his own so I had him sit on my lap. I didn’t think we [...]

The Leaves May Be Falling, But…
Posted on 16. Oct, 2010 by Outdoors With Bill.
Yes, the leaves may be falling, but that means there are different things to do as a family. Raking them is one thing many of you are thinking (What kid doesn’t like to jump into a pile of leaves!). Well, that isn’t what I had in mind. With the leaves falling, it creates a great new game for the kiddies.

Sunrise Minnesota, Where the Rivers Meet
Posted on 16. Oct, 2010 by Lenore Bleifuss, Local Artist.
The small community of Sunrise Minnesota is another one of the charming places that I love to visit, and it is within a short distance of Lindstrom. We came to this area in 1964 and a few years later, I happened upon that quaint area situated in a valley along the winding Sunrise River. I [...]

Binoculars Designed for Serious Women Hunters
Posted on 16. Oct, 2010 by EASTMNNEWSWIRE.
All too often, hunting gear supposedly designed for women suffers from being either a slightly smaller version of men’s (which never seems to fit just right) or far too frilly to be functional. Nikon managed to avoid both extremes with the introduction of its All Terrain Binoculars (ATB). Nikon Sport Optics partnered with SHE Outdoor [...]

Several months ago, I discovered, quite by chance that our area has a group of single people who have formed a life enriching social network, open to all singles, and it is free. The group was founded in 2006 by some singles who realized that the community needed to focus on having an organized social group [...]
