Many people ask, why would you ever live in Minnesota? I love season changes. My favorite seasons, in order of priority, are fall, spring, winter, summer. Winter is beautiful, as long as it's not 40 below zero. Winter Pines in Winter
Since the dog activities are on the kennel page, I am going to put consulting and quilting information here.
I do computer work, including consulting: Java, C++, C#, Visual Basic, SGML, XML, etc., etc.

Unfortunately, the machine quilting does not show up well in photos.
