Thursday’s On First
Why oh why haven’t we spent more Thursday evenings downtown this summer? Jeepers is it ever fun! Every Thursday during the summer Rochester’s downtown comes alive with two music stages and food vendors, and artists of all kinds selling their wares.

Hot Date
Baby Girl wrote this on her Facebook wall last night: Danae has a hot date tonight! 🙂 Taken just before they left for dinner out – and mini golf. Daddy wasn‘t so sure about this outfit.
