Good rainy morning from Collegeville,
 
Here we are at the mid-summer point already.  Barby has two days of summer school left and then she gets to relax for a while.  Teaching English to 11th & 12 grade ALC students is no picnic.  That reminds me, I hope that this summer we can find an old picnic basket and get that one scratched off of our “bucket list”.    Wow, it is dark as night out there.  Batten the hatches folks.
 
A lot of new businesses are opening in downtown St. Joe.  The Minnesota Street Market, a food
co-op, is opening  where Loso’s Grocery was.  Closet to Closet is opening next door in August.  The St. Joseph Chamber has reached 75 members and is growing.  There may be a ice cream cone drive up opening soon.
 
 I live in a loft in the Millstream Shops and Lofts on the corner of College Avenue and Minnesota Street in downtown St. Joe.   My loft is above a space that has been designed for a bistro or café .  It  has a terrific, sunny patio attached. If you know someone who might have the talent and be interested,  in opening a cafe, here is the information:  http://www.millstreamshops.com/shops_restaurant.php The building owners would love to  show you the space. 
 
The show this week is a summertime compilation featuring bits and pieces from last year’s show in Seattle.
Special guests include, Brandi Carile, The Wailin’ Jennys and Nellie McKay.  Enjoy the show.
 
“There are two days in the week about which and upon which I never worry. Two carefree days, kept sacredly free from fear and apprehension.  One of these days is Yesterday….and the other day I do not worry about is Tomorrow.”  Robert Jones Burdette
