Breakfast for Lunch at Happy Humpback

We stopped by the Happy Humpback in Magnolia to have breakfast for lunch (thanks for that idea Jess!) It was very nice to see locals stopping by and especially another restaurant owner in support of local business. Great to see you Nick from Bravo! Another winning meal! Jim had the Good Harbor sandwich and I had a waffle along with a yummy lemon bread treat! Hope to see you there soon!

Adding Daylight to Dark Winters

grandbanksbp's avatarCape Ann Home

“When we moved to Minnesota seven years ago, we heard the days were short and dark come winter, and we knew this to be true after living at similar latitude in both Chicago and New Haven, Conn. We endured winters in Chicago, appreciated them in New Haven, and by the time we moved to Minnesota, we married winter willingly. I should mention, I have always loved the snow. But it wasn’t until moving to Minnesota that we considered designing our life around it and embracing it—the darkness, the cold, and the innate beauty. “
