Small things.

Posted Monday, March 8, 2010, at 4:55 PM

Things that made me happy today:

Not wearing a winter coat.

Seeing a cardinal outside my window.

Sending my mom and dad a real letter.

Hearing Lt. Gov. Patty Judge admit that, although she got into Le Mars too late Sunday night to visit the Blue Bunny Ice Cream Parlor, her crew stopped at a local grocery store to get some of the good stuff.

Telling a State Trooper to drive safe.

Eating a glazed doughnut.

Eating another glazed doughnut.

They were small ones, OK?

Small doughnuts aren't nearly as fun as the large ones. Glazed are the best.

Off beat...

Magdalene Landegent Yes, I like hotdish and lakes. My idea of a fancy meal is a potluck. I don't call it "cold" until it's below zero outside. I pronounce one syllable words with three syllables. (Example: "No" is "Nooo-ah-uh") I am from Minnesota. But about nine years ago, I ventured across the border to come to Northwestern College. From there I landed in friendly Hawarden where I worked two years learning this newspaper business before rolling into Le Mars to work as reporter, then editor. I learn a lot of things while I'm trying to scoop out a story, but I learn even more when I'm off the beat -- and that's what you'll get a taste of in my blog. I tend to be a klutz, I admit to starting more than one fire on my stove, and I generally find myself to be the source of many an awkward moment. Add to that newly-married life, and I sometimes feel like a three ring circus. So gentle reader, enjoy. Advice is always welcome. Even from you, Mom and Dad.
