The winter is no time for a vacation in Minneapolis.We are realizing this fact the hard way. The sun in the sky is not an indicator of a lovely day for a walk. The sunniest days have been the coldest. Though we are trying to get out of the house and have at least one adventure a day, it seems like it's easier to stay put. Sunset at 5:20, dinner at 7. Depressing thoughts.
We left the house yesterday, computer and novels a-tow.
We parked the car on 24th street and as I got out I noticed the house with the flowerbox. Sweet. Still holding out for springtime??
I know I am.
Cross the street to Nicollet. Arrive at Spyhouse. Surly baristas, average coffee, stale food, dirty tables, packed 24/7, strange collection of students, chess playing weird old men, loafers and grimy furniture. Ahhhh... feels like home!! We miss you, NY! Feels like the Tea Lounge on Union St. Brooklyn minus the babies and stroller brigade. The sweet part of the evening was taking pictures of the cafe and realizing how many of the kitchy 50's era art was of the
Manhattan skyline! Check it out:

Me again:)
I left you a message on your phone - I'm not working at all this weekend so if you wanna hang give me a ringy dingy. Otherwise I'm mostly free in the evenings and I'm off on Wednesday. It would be super to see you:)))))

Enjoyed the photos and commentary.
Winter has always been a challange in the northern hemisphere, but it is a time for taking stock of where we are and where we're going.
Remember to keep yourselves covered and watch out for hungry racoons out there.
Always have a cellphone within reach and a bar of dark chocolate.
