I wanted some comfort food, so I made some french toast with whipped maple marscapone and baked bread cheese with lingonberries to top it all off.

Air Canada I understand we’re approaching Valentine’s Day but I simply don’t think an airline should advertise its sales with “fares worth falling for”

Adding to this news: four more children from Liam’s Columbia Heights school district are believed to be still in TX in ICE custody. This includes two elementary students from Liam’s school as well as another high school and elementary student from his district, according to CH district leaders.
Yesterday, five-year-old Liam and his dad Adrian were released from Dilley detention center. I picked them up last night and escorted them back to Minnesota this morning.
Liam is now home. With his hat and his backpack.

I have discovered that I am losing one of my methods of relaxation. When in ND and stressed, I would often go for a drive. The trip from Jamestown to Fargo was usually a good trip and I could see my family and take care of shopping.

I am very depressed that the issue concerning conservatives is whether someone was carrying a gun when he was killed and not whether it’s okay for federal officers to randomly murder people (citizens or not).

When you have a whole party propping him up because they’re living in fear of losing their next election, it becomes pretty easy. Sounds like term limits and getting rid of Citizens United are both things that need to happen yesterday.
