Hi Everyone:

[edit} Lori and I thought you might like to see the first visible and edible evidence that Minnesota is celebrating its 150th anniversary: Our official White House Easter Egg for the upcoming Easter Egg Roll (on display I think at the White House Visitors Center, Julie and Helen, during Eastertime….) and the road signs at every entrance into Minnesota now going up (so watch for those when you enter MN this year!).

And I just spoke with the Minnesota Twins front office today and we will have the May 10 Boston Red Sox/Twins game devoted to the Minnesota Sesquicentennial (May 11 is Statehood Day). I’m lobbying hard to help throw out the First Pitch with my Minnesota Twin sister Karin – we’ll see……and watch for the sesqui patches on the team shirts and for all the “sesqui color” commentary. It’s supposed to be broadcast nationwide, thanks to the Red Sox winning the World Series. So to our Boston & New England crew – thank you!

Love,

--jane

Shouldnt the family blog be more of a Liberal Rag?

I just wanted to see about what people think about this... www.nytimes.com/2008/02/21/us/politics/21mccain.html?hp

Though I feel like this is just sort of target practice.

Happy 21st Birthday Pat!
