Sandy made an appointment with the girl who cuts her hair to have it cut short. She figured that as long as she's going to lose it anyway, might as well have it cut short and have less to find on her pillow when she wakes up in the morning. So she did. She came home and asked me how it looks. I thought it looks really cute and I'd love to show you a picture of her in it, but she hasn't gotten there yet. She doesn't think it's ready for Prime Time.

I'll keep working on her. When she consents, I'll put it in this blog.

Today we drove to Frankfort, a beautiful little town north of here. We were looking up a place called Choo Choo Johnny's. It's a kid restaurant, with trains running on high shelves on the walls, and on the inside of the counter. The counter train delivers baskets of burgers and fries to customers. There are arcade games and a good-sized model train setup with buildings and all the other train paraphernalia. We thought it might be cute for granddaughter Ava when her family comes up here next weekend.

Kernel Sweetooth is a popcorn and ice cream shop in Frankfort. Our good friends Ted and Nancy from St. Paul love this place as much as we do. Sandy and I stopped there for ice cream and headed home.

Maybe the kids will like one of these places, maybe not. When you're three and a half years old, you can change your mind pretty fast.

My Navy buddy Mike asked if I could put pictures on this blog. I think I can and will try today, because this afternoon a couple neighbor kids came around to give Sandy cards. They need to be on this site, right along with the card granddaughter Ava sent in late March.

Here's Ava's card, followed by Ava and her baby sister Reese
