Skillfully

Some more amazing craftsmanship at Minneapolis City Hall.

Squirmy

Romeo is 7 today, but this pic is from the day I met him, when he was only 2 months old.  It was hard to get a picture of him back then because he was always moving.  He didn't know what to make of the paparazzi following him around.

Hokey Pokey

Because that's what it's all about.

Reconstructionary

Yesterday I posted exterior before and after the reconstruction of Minnehaha Academy.  Back in May, we went on an alumni tour of the new buildings.  Today's blog is a short slideshow of some of the things we saw.

I didn't take the time to label the images, so here is a run down of what they are:

– A partial view of the new library, with a lovely view of West River Parkway.
– A partial view of the new college-grade cafeteria.
– A partial view of one of four science learning labs.
– A partial view of the library rooftop green space.
– Construction of the Beauty for Ashes Prayer Room.
– Lots of windows and open spaces.
– Construction of a courtyard amphitheater.
– Loose brick shingles, handmade in Denmark, used as siding on the top two floors.

Restority

On August 2, 2017, a natural gas explosion tore apart my high school, Minnehaha Academy; killing two people and injuring others.  This August, the newly rebuilt campus will welcome students back.
