getting sweeter...

I'm ashamed to look at how long its been since I've posted anything.  I really am sorry for not keeping you updated like I should.  Don't think nothing has been going on in this neck of the woods because let me tell you--thats why you haven't heard much from me.  I know, you're probably wondering how that makes any sense.  Well, let me start by just pointing out a few things that may be a little different around town.  For example, new WELCOME TO WINDOM signs have officially been put up and look mighty fine if you ask me--a long time coming on that one.  Finding Windom is also giving our input to the EDA regarding some new directional signs that will be going up thanks to the help of the Remick Foundation (what would we do without the Remick foundation? Yay!) for both the highway and downtown area-very exciting. O'Reilly Auto Parts has done an amazing job on the former HyVee store building and Big Game has out done themselves with the facelift of the former Lewis Family Drug building.  Fast Sprayers is also going to be building/expanding in Windom's north industrial park--also good news for the city of Windom.  So many exciting changes, and I'm sure I missed some. I've always been a believer that when I write things down, those things are more likely to happen.  But also, when I'm not writing, its usually because things are happening.  And boy, are things happening!

And even more exciting, yours truly is an official member of the Chamber Board of Directors and I couldn't be more excited to be a part of such an influencial board in this community!  And did I also mention I'm having so much fun at River City Eatery that I decided to also share the love with Mountain Lake?  Yup, you heard it here first, folks,  River City Eatery and Sweetfields of Mountain Lake will both be owned and operated by...me.  Whoa, call me crazy, but it just feels right.  Its a good feeling to know I've found what I love to do and get to do it for a living, you know?  My mom always told me to share, so I think its a nice thing to share the love, cupcakes, sin pie, sandwiches, wraps, salads, homemade soups, specialty coffees, and ice cream with more of rural southwest Minnesota,don't you?  Things are just getting sweeter all around Windom...

happy times,
