It's another Monday in a short line of summer Mondays. When the sun is shinning, it doesn't quite hurt so much to go to work, or in my case, sit at my computer. My oldest son is home all week because the daycare lady is on vacation so it hasn't been very quite here, but I'm still getting lots of work done.
The August Local Biz just went to print today so I'm hoping to get it by early next week. There just isn't enough him in the month to get it all done and in my hand by August 1st, but I promise that as soon as I have it, you will have it! I'm very excite about this issue. It has so great stories about local businesses like BCM Law offices, and Parkside Restaurant and Kelsey's Photography and that is just to name a few.
We also have a great coupon section again, so don't forget to use up those July coupons as well!
Now - this weekend - There is some good things going on this weekend. Last Saturday of July. First on Friday, Sylvan Learning Center is hosting a "Night with the St. Paul Saints". Check out more info on the website! Then this Saturday, there are two great things going on in Roberts. First of all the Town of Warren is having a 150th Sesquicentennial Celebration. I will be out there with the Local Biz for most of the day. I'm still working on getting someone to watch my children for the day and if I"m lucky, the weekend! Then Saturday evening, the Sidetrack is having a grand opening celebration for their new owners Trish and Nate. Should be fun! Hope to see you there.
Chat with you soon!

Such a busy week!
It is a huge week for River Falls, Farm Technology Days starts today and it is a huge event for this area. We are talking thousands of people. My family is heavily involved in this event. My step-father is on the grounds committee and they have been working on the grounds for months. I plan on taking my boys to this event on Thursday, my hubby will join us if it doesn't rain, if it does, we plan on going in the morning so hopefully we would miss the raindrops!
But tonight is a huge event for me and my family, Wolf River is playing tonight at the Westwind Supper Club. They start at 7pm and my family is planning on being there. I hope to see you there too.
Tomorrow (Wednesday) is my Chamber's 2nd annual golf tourney. Good luck to all the golfers!
Then this weekend is full of events all over the place. It is the St. Croix County Fair, and Lumberjack Days! Check out the Local Biz online to see other events as well. There seems to be a lot of live music this weekend. I would love to check it all out. We will have to see how the weekend goes!
I just wanted to drop a quick note about this week's events. Chat with you soon.....

Just flying by...
This is just a crazy weird time of year, one day its Memorial Weekend, the next thing you know, your garden has taken over your life and River Falls Days is a thing of the past! It's crazy because every weekend is filled up with this event and that family. thing and this camping trip and that holiday.
So as I sit here in my "office" aka kitchen counter, I'm deciding what I'm going to do with the rest of my day. Should I spend my time working on the August issue of the Local Biz? Should I work on the many other projects that I haven't gotten to this past week? Or should I put Cash down for a nap and take Colton outside to play? Sun, tanning, reading my book??? I think outside wins!!! It isn't going to be much longer before the green grass is covered in snow, or at least died off and brown, and we are whining because it's cold outside. I guess what I"m trying to get at is that we have to take advantage of the nice weather when we have the chance. I can sit in the AC later this afternoon or evening. Tomorrow is an extended family day (my grandparents are in town)so I think I will hang out with my 3 year old this afternoon. I'll get my work done later!
Now for the fun going on...The Westwind Supper Club is having their 29th Annual Anniversary Celebration this weekend. Last night the Tommy Bentz Band played under the big tent and tonight, it's Wolf River! I have a special connection to this band. My dad is the bass player and he does a lot of lead singing too. I've been known to join them on stage as well. I'm still hoping the daycare fairy will send down a babysitter for the evening so we can go out! I hate missing any show they do and I have missed plenty due to the whole mom thing. Hopefully by the time my children are older, they will still be playing so I can join them more.
Then this coming week, it's a HUGE week for the town of River Falls. All the crazy farm-loving people are coming to town for Farm Technology Days. I hadn't even heard of such a thing before a few years ago when they announced that Farm Tech Days was going to be hosted by the Peterson Family just sound of River Falls on Hwy 29. This this is so big that they are shutting down Hwy 29 south to Prescott from 8-5 each day. That's a huge deal. My step father is on the grounds keeping committee and they live right next to the land where this is going to be happening so it is also a huge deal for my family. I'm looking forward to going. (this is the reason my grandparents are in town) Oh and Wolf River is also playing on Tuesday night down at the Westwind in River Falls.
Well ta-ta for now, I'm sure I will more exciting news to share the next time! Have a good weekend, Lisa

WOW! Long time no type!!!
Hello everyone in cyber world! I can't believe it has been so long since I've written. I've been busy and that is the worst, but best excuse I have for you. I was on vacation and I had family in town last week. I also was working very hard the two weeks before working on catching up with my design work. I did catch up, but got other jobs so I'm still behind - oh well - what else is new!
Did you pick up the latest copy of the Local Biz? I'm very proud of it. I'm excited to showcase some great local home improvement businesses. If you haven't already, you can read about local businesses like St. Croix Tile, T. Larsen Design, Lakefront Framing, Ellner's Window Treatments, J Haas Excavating and Cody Plumbing. They are all great stories! It's time to start thinking about all the improvements you want to make on your homes and you should (if you haven't already) read all about some local businesses!
Also - New this month - is the coupon insert! You HAVE to check it out. We are already working on the August issue and we are planning a coupon insert in next month too - so please check it out and use the coupons! What an easy way to save some money!
Let's see - what else, hum, hum, hum - It was a great 4th of July and River Falls Days for me and my family. We went up north for the weekend of the 4th and played in the lake and sat by the fire and ate lots of great food! I was a great family vacation. My sisters and their families where there as well as my father. So it was a great time. Then last week, I was sort of out of vacation last week as well. Doing only the very minimal work which was a lot of emailing. A little work though!
But now it is back to the grind stone today. We are working on the August issue like I said and I'm very excited about this upcoming issue. Our deadline for advertising is the end of this week so please email me as soon as possible if you want to put an ad in this next month's issue. Oh - and if you have an idea for us to drop the Local Biz - please let us know as well. We are always looking for ways to improve the Local Biz and make it better!
