The Congressman
We were honored this morning at our Eden Prairie A.M. Rotary Club to have U.S. Congressman Jim Ramstad as our morning program speaker. Congressman Ramstad has represented the Third District of Minnesota for 7 terms. He has a very high level of support among his constituents of the Third District. Here’s a very recent photo of Congressman Ramstad in Washington DC with representatives of the Eden Prairie High School band who were touring Washington earlier this month.
The Pheasant
Just a couple of quick shots I took this morning from my office window when I got back from my Rotary meeting with Congressman Ramstad. This pheasant was perched on the ledge outside my window. I can’t recall ever getting this close to a pheasant before. I was literally inches from him when I snapped these two photos.
The Kid
Four years ago today my family and I were hunkered down in the Station 10 waiting room at Abbott Northwestern Hospital waiting for our then 12 year old son, Turner, to come out of heart transplant surgery. The surgery was a success and four years later Turner (see above) is now 16 years old and doing all the normal things that a normal 16 year old boy normally does. Normal is good.
We would have lost him without the heart transplant. We thank God everyday for everyday we’ve had with him since.
