TGIF! Time to start looking toward the weekend. Well, to be
honest, I am still reeling from LAST
weekend. For me, so many things about last weekend truly epitomize why I truly
believe living here is The Good Life.
Let’s start with Friday evening. A week of kids under the
weather or on the mend, left us all tired and staying in for the night. What a
blessing that turned out to be. My oldest son was home from college for spring
break, so the other kids joined him around the kitchen table and we brought out
the board games. That has always been a great way for our family to connect.
From Head Bands to Clue, we enjoyed the competition and each other’s company!
My family,?Tops in my Good Life.
And speaking of competition, boy, did our Minnesota State
University Mankato Mavericks hockey team make us proud…by making history
Saturday night! The Mavs won the WCHA championship title for the first time
EVER and brought that Broadmoor Trophy back to Mankato. I was watching the game
from the Legion in Lake Crystal. After enjoying a delicious rib dinner good
friends to support the Lake Crystal Fire Department, we found a TV playing
the game and gathered around the set, watching our boys play their hearts out! I
so happy I was with friends for that moment, friends that mean a lot in my Good
Life. (And how thankful are we for all those brave volunteer firefighters throughout our region, they keep us safe in this Good Life.)
But wait, the weekend was only half over! I still had
Sunday! One thing I have always enjoyed about my job is the many people I get
to meet and interview. Regular readers of this blog are probably aware, I have a bit of an affinity for Rick
Springfield. ;) He has his debut fiction novel coming out in May and agreed to
let me interview him about that before his show Sunday night at the Panteges
Theater in Minneapolis. So, there we sat, face to face. I was a mere four feet
away from an artist I’ve admired for 30 years (okay, maybe longer). He was
gracious, and cool, and, frankly, very excited about his book. (Magnificant Vibration, coming out May
6!) I think he was also excited about being interviewed once again by me (okay,
I’m making that part up.)
But living in an area that allows me to so thoroughly
enjoy, family, friends, and work, is truly a special place indeed. My special,
Good Life.
