Blackthorn: Beautiful, even in ruins. Keep searching your photo archives for more pictures of your travels.
Jeff: Great set of photos! It certainly appears you and your wife had a memorable outing. Two great films. We will likely return to the Edina Cinema for a repeat viewing of 'The...

On the University Of Minnesota campus with the boys. Ryan traded his letterman jacket for a wool coat for the sake of wearing...
We next visited The Raptor Center at the University Of Minnesota, a place near and dear to us. Ryan had done volunteer work here as a very young child, cutting up mice for the birds. The staff have a special fondness for Ryan and he was privileged to fist his first raptor at the age of six. I...
Birthday Wishes
Christmas Eve morning. We celebrated Ryan's 16th birthday last night with some of his friends at our home. With his birthday falling on the day before Christmas Eve, it is always a challenge to make certain that his special day is not lost amongst the Holiday bustle, and so it...
