I’ve lived in Faribault my entire life but my wife and I enjoy traveling all around Minnesota as well as the surrounding states. When I’m not at work I’m usually spending time with my grandchildren and my grown children. I enjoy going to watch the Vikings, especially at US Bank Stadium, concerts, taking my wife to various musicals and going out to eat… I really enjoy that, as my bathroom scale can attest. I love music and spend a lot of time on the weekends looking for CDs of big hair bands that I don’t currently have in my collection.

As I entered town on Highway 13 I saw the colorful awnings of some of the shade areas around the edge of the Waseca Water Park...

Please Secure Your Loads
Homeowners are taking advantage of this nice run of warm, dry weather to do some yard work, gardening and landscaping. I recently hauled in some rock for a little chore at my parents' house and trimmed back some branches and bushes. Both of these jobs required a truck and trailer to haul the rock in and remove the branches...
Today is D-Day
On this beautiful sunny day let us not forget, that 73 years ago, thousands of brave young men were landing along a 50-mile stretch of beach in Normandy, France, to secure our continued freedom.
