Has it really been over a week since I last blogged?  Let me tell you a few of the things I've been doing in my absence.

• Managed to figure out the wireless feature on my printer – four hours well worth the effort.
• Mastered the art of adding texture to photos in Photoshop!
• Taken my birch painting to a new level by painting them in watercolor (photo perhaps tomorrow).
• Found a use for the torn "player piano rolls." (Stay tuned.)
• Polished off Axel's Halloween candy – I'm not proud of this one.
• Stayed caught up on my television shows and knit myself into sock heaven once again.

Today we drove northwest on HWY 94, a direction we rarely head.  The closer you get to Fargo, the scarier things get for urban folk, so we stopped in Alexandria for a bit of sight-seeing, anticipating adventure.

As the pictures indicate, we found mostly the familiar.  A red door/photo op and a used bookstore where Axel felt truly at home.  Not much to report from our big trip to Alex, but a worthy outing for the average Tuesday.
