The flowers, garden plants and trees are very happy with this spring light rain fall. The golfers in the coulee region with tee times are not as happy.

Bike to work week

It is bike to work week. I have a new, old style beach cruiser bike. It was a Mothers Day gift. What is old is new again. Just like shoes.

It's graduation weekend

Nice job seniors. The job market is looking better than it was last year and the gas prices look better today than they did last week. Things are looking up.

Elton says no thank you

Elton John has reportedly turned down the $33 million dollar offer to replace Simon Cowell on American Idol. I was just wondering how much more Elton would need? I was also wondering why Elton would be the correct replacement for Simon.

What a great day

If you are some sort of cold water duck.

Excitement hits the air last night

The meteor was much more exciting than the lop syncing group number last night on American Idol. In case you missed it Andrew and Katie were sent home last night and the meteor blazed across the sky in our area.

Shannon gets the boot

Were you surprised that Shannon was the first to leave the show last night? I was. I was thinking the Buzz or Pamela would be shown the exit sign. Next week should be interesting. Who do you think will leave next?

What was missing from your month of March?

Snow.....No snow for the month of March. How were we so lucky to do that? I know that there is a day or two to go......however did you hear our forecast? There just is not much of a change that snow would be an option when you have a seventy degree day on the way. Enjoy!

It Feels Good to Clean Out Your Closet

A new season is here. Yesterday I spent some time sorting out a closet. I found many items that we no longer used. With some help and a couple of trips out to the car it was time to head to the Salvation Army Thrift store for the drop off our donations. I was greeted with smiles of gratitude. How nice. It made me feel good too. The Salvation Army Thrift Store is located at 728 Copeland Avenue on La Crosses North Side. Get cleaning!

Here is a great idea for your new case of Spring Fever. The Home and Garden show is this weekend at the Onalaska Omni Center. March 12,13 and 14. A whole bunch of great opportunities for you to spruce up your home and yard. What fun.
