Well it’s been an interesting week. I had my stuff stolen, and then had new stuff kindly given to me by friends in the blogosphere. We had a crack in our foundation fixed, and new trim installed, all free of charge. And finally, on Friday we got to meet the Governor of Minnesota, Tim Pawlenty. I’ll be blogging about that this coming week.
Foundation Crack Repair

Yup, I had other bloggers give me an ipod shuffle and a digital camera. Also, my coworkers gave me enough money to get a new GPS. People’s kindness never ceases to amaze me.
