A worthy cause

We were happy to join the community at the Moose Lodge tonight in support of the History Center of Freeborn County. The food was delicious and the items in the Silent Auction were fun to see.

Night on the town

We met up with Ed & Joyce Shaman tonight at Cento for a light supper and followed that with our first experience at the Marion Ross Theater! We enjoyed "Nunsense" a lot!
 

A busy week in Albert Lea

Lots of fun at the Chamber After-hours

Belinda is on the job!

Legion Post #56 

Charles' Legion cap

It's been a busy week for us with three worship services on Sunday, American Legion meeting on Monday, Chamber of Commerce After-hours on Tuesday, Ash Wednesday, and more to come!

The warm weather we enjoyed earlier in the week has given way to blustery, even snowy weather.

Lenten season is underway

Glenville UMC

 

Thorne Crest chapel

We got the season of Lent underway last Sunday with the Imposition of Ashes at Glenville UMC and then today, Charles offered an Ash Wednesday service at Thorne Crest.

Another painting completed

Dominica in Palmis De Passione Domini
(Palm Sunday on the Passion of the Lord)

Charles completed a new painting today which will be used during the upcoming Lenten Season at Glenville UMC.

It's a "false spring" in Albert Lea

With the long, cold, winter we've had in southern Minnesota this year, this week has seen a steady increase in temperatures. This weekend will see temperatures in the mid-50s! It's what locals call a "false spring" because winter isn't finished with us yet. Today, Charles spotted a pickup truck on Fountain Lake, the ice is at least 10" thick!!!

Studio time

Charles spent some time in the studio this morning, making early moves on what will be the first in a new series of liturgical paintings.
