Marty’s Mumblings for November

So November is in full bloom. The leaves are all off the trees and winter is coming.  It is time to get out your parkas, boots and touks. I am leaving Velocity tech solutions on the 15^th and starting my new job at Loparex on the 18^th. I am looking forward to the new job as it is so close to home and will offer new learning experiences. I will no longer be commuting  over an hour each way. I will only drive fifteen minutes. I am moving from sales to maintenance. It is a nervous time but I am looking forward to the new challenge. So I will be saying goodbye to my co-workers at velocity and they will be missed. Then I get  say hello to the new. 

With the late Thanksgiving this year we do not have a lot of time to find a Christmas tree. Our fake tree from last year had seen better days after twenty years of use so we got rid of it. This year we will get a real tree and then look for a new fake one after the season is over. Hopefully we will find a good deal. My daughter said we should Just use the Charlie Brown Christmas tree we got last year as a gift for our tree this year. It would fit into the year we had. With the love and support of a great family and with God's blessing we have made it through. We are looking to the Christmas season with hope and happiness. I will be getting Decembers mumblings ready soon and I will get you the update on my life. Until then enjoy Thanksgiving, the football and turkey!

Marty's Mumblings for October

Well it is now October the leaves are changing and it is trying to cool off but summer still will not let go. We are getting some well need rain early hopefully we can get enough to overcome the drought. This is my favorite time of the year. The weather is changing. It is not too hot.  School is back in session and the kids are in the fall sports mode. Homecoming is happening and football, tennis, Cross Country and golf are full swing. There is the trip to the apple orchard to get fresh apples and the warm sunshine through the car window while driving there. The night chill can be taken care of with a sweatshirt or light jacket. There are the bonfires to enjoy with family and friends.

Something that is new to our family is the Marching Band Competition. Last year my son was in marching band and this year it is my daughter. I cannot believe the fun you can have watching high school kids pouring their hearts into a marching competition. The music is wonderful and shows are always done way too soon. The marching band season goes by fast also. It seems that is all just a breeze. Busy for every weekend for a month then it is all over.

Soon the ghosts, ghouls, witches and goblins will be out. Then we can look forward to the first blanket of fresh snow. It will be time to break out the winter coats and the turkey rosters. Until next time enjoy life to its fullest.

Marty's Mumblings Sept Oct 2013

So the Minnesota state fair is over and school is back in session. We have been dry since July and hoping for rain. Wild hockey training camp starts this week and the Minnesota Twins season is winding down. I almost forgot about football. The Vikings are off to their normal start 0 for life!  My favorite season of the year starts soon. I love the Fall. The changing of the colors and the temperature is just right. The nights are perfect to enjoy a campfire.

Until next month enjoy

Marty's Mumblings April-May

Hello from the beautiful North Country. We are enjoying the start of the best season of the year Baseball Season! But, unfortunately, this also means the dreaded construction season is also starting. Soon we will be getting ready for the lake, the golf course, and listening to the ball game on the radio of course.

Finally, Spring training has started. The pitchers and catchers have reported along with the position players. The grand game of Baseball is just around the corner. Now is the time to remember the greats like Harmon Killebrew, Rod Crew. Tony Oliva, Bert Blyleven, Mudcat Grant, Jim Kaat… 

Ok, ok you may think differently but I am a Minnesota Twins fan! Yes, we have not had the best seasons lately but that will turn around this year. The ballpark is one of the best in the majors and the Twins are in the third season playing outside just like baseball should be. We signed some pitchers in the off-season. Let’s play ball.

 I can smell the grills with hamburgers and hotdogs already. What a great time of the year. We are getting ready for our shorts and sunglasses.

Marty's Mumblings from Dec- Jan 2013

The snow is falling in full force now. What a wonderful time of the year. No grass to cut, no bugs and no leaves to rake. People are getting ready for the Holidays by putting up their lights. What else can you ask for? Warm weather, who needs that when you have parkas, tuques, choppers, and boots?
