This is my hot chocolate and vanilla waters

I attended the musical Teen Challenge Chair performance, followed by a hot chocolate bar.

Milk and Honey Heirloom Cider 4 bottles to a package

Everyone who tasted this cider at the North Point Resource Center told me that this Heirloom cider will make excellent tasting bread.

My free meal at the First Presbyterian Church

This is my main course.

This is my cake dessert.

My bread is made with Yule Nog

This Yule Nog bread is cinnamon and vanilla flavored, moist pastry.

As time marches onward, we say a fond goodbye to Thanksgiving events, while giving a warm hello to Christmas celebrations.

Fools' names and fools' faces are often seen in public places

Adding well-known quotes to your blog posts increases your page views.

I found this graffiti in the Duluth Entertainment Convention Center (DECC) parking ramp elevator.

My Minnesota Vikings lost to the Seattle Seahawks

I talked with a Duluth, Minnesota resident who is so ignorant of Minnesota Vikings history - that he told me that he thinks the Tarkenton scramble is an egg omelet recipe.  Maybe, a skilled chef should create the Tarkenton scramble, with foods Minnesota residents love, as an egg omelet recipe.

This is my late Thanksgiving Meal at the First Presbyterian Church.

This is my yummy meal.

This is the big cake that my slice of cake came from.

Kathryn (Kat) Ramsland’s Little Free Store

This little free store is located on the east side of North Second Avenue East, between Superior Street and East First Street.  I do find all kinds of things to blog about within a few blocks of King Manor.

The Waterstop Infoshop Art Center is where Kathryn Ramsland’s Little Free Store is located.

Here is more information about Kathryn Ramsland’s life and tragic death.

Kat Ramsland
11-21-78 to 11-7-24
Oliver Nephew
6-27-17 to 11-7-24

“Kat Ramsland was the daughter of Max and Betty Ramsland. She was a daughter, mother, wife and friend to many. She was a faculty member in the arts department of Lake Superior College. She died, as did her son, Oliver, at the hands of her mentally ill husband, Tony, shortly before his suicide. This was a mental health tragedy.”

After I die, I hope that someone puts up a little free store, to assist needy people, in my memory.

Winter-chilled coffee

Why do some irresponsible people abandon their drinks anywhere, except in a trash can or a recycling bin.  I found this disgusting litter on the east side of the Fond-du-Luth Casino, on North Second Avenue East, between East Superior Street and East First Street.

This movie is far more entertaining than I imagined it would be.  In addition, I usually don’t watch movies on a Saturday.

One dollar ice cream

I found these yummy cartons of ice cream for one dollar each at Super One Foods.

No Meeting on Thanksgiving

In King Manor, it is rare to see a post about a canceled event.  This unusual post is on the second floor bulletin board.

What I found on the King Manor, second floor bulletin board.

I suppose I will be seeing posters for Christmas events on these bulletin boards soon.

What I found posted on the King Manor, fifth floor bulletin board

I see the rhythm of repetition, when old posters disappear, while new posters appear.  This is almost like music, with posters instead of sounds.

My meal at the St. Scholastica Thanksgiving Day Buffet event

This Thanksgiving Day Buffet happened at the Duluth Entertainment Convention Center (DECC), Lake Superior Ballroom.

Thanksgiving potluck at the North Pointe Resource Center

This is my very good Thanksgiving potluck meal.

The first snowstorm in Duluth, Minnesota for the 2025 to 2026 winter season

This is the scene I saw on the entrance to King Manor from East Superior Street.  But, I need to get some food for the noon potluck at the North Pointe Resource Center.

The Top Dungeon Farmer / ★★★★★ out of 5 stars

I have finished reading the first 100 chapters of the first season of “The Top Dungeon Farmer”.  This is a great family-friendly story that I recommend wholeheartedly.

I braved walking upon slick rain sidewalks to see Zootopia 2.

I’m thanking ACRacebest for making me a happy fan of the Zootopia franchise.

I found sidewalk graffiti west of Essentia Health

Who or what is ACAB?

What does this art represent?

I bought a bottle of Yule Nog

How do you think bread made with Yule Nog will taste?

This is my spiced rum bread

What beverage do you think I should buy for next week’s bread?

My free meal at the First Presbyterian Church

This tasty meal was followed by bingo games, where I won nothing.

North Pointe Resource Center, Luau Party name tag

Guests were encouraged to create party name tags.  We used a name generator based on guests' first name's first letter and their birth month to create party names, encouraging conversation.

I found “Yay Shawn” on the Canal Park Lakewalk trail.

Do you know who Shawn is?

I attended the Luau Party

I found this party within the community room.

This is the food that I ate and the drink that I drank.

My free meal at the First Presbyterian Church

It was a great meal after watching the first-ever National Football League game held in Madrid, Spain.

Dolphins 16 Commanders 13 (overtime)

What I found next to 320 East Second Street, Duluth, Minnesota.

How can someone be so lazy to discard (throw away) an empty pizza box on East Second Street.  Was it too much trouble to bring an empty pizza box to a trash can?

I put pizza sauce on my spaghetti

I like thicker pizza sauce on my spaghetti.  These are the best two types of pizza sauce that I put on my spaghetti.

I saw messages posted within the North Pointe Resource Center, Duluth, Minnesota.

The North Pointe Resource Center Movie “Night” has now been rebranded as Morning Movie.

A fun Lula Party will be held on Monday, November 17 from 10 AM to Noon.

The Revive City Church will hold a Thursday Thanksgiving Feast between 10 AM and 6 PM.

I saw “Virgin Punk Clockwork Girl”

Under all the glitz and glam, there is a solid story and a behind the scenes studio tour that is worth watching.

These are the cheese curds that I ate.

What is posted on King Manor, fourth floor bulletin board for November 11, 2025?

I see that old posters have disappeared, while new posters have appeared.

I saw Predator: Badlands

This is a very entertaining movie.

This is the Marcus Theaters onion rings that I ate.

What I found posted on the King Manor, fifth floor bulletin board

I find it interesting how old posters disappear, while new posters appear.

Menards ® store in HO scale

Monday, I on way to purchase some cleaning supplies for my apartment; I could not believe what I was seeing on the shelf.  But, this model Menards ® store looks great.  If I ever get back into model railroading, I might get this Menards ® store, and then add a short freight siding next to it.

I also found a Menards ® water tower.

This is the food that I ate during Monday’s North Pointe Resource Center social gathering.

I am happy that the North Pointe Resource Center staff is having more social gatherings.

My free snack at the First Presbyterian Church

This is my tasty midday snack.

This is my filled, take-out container.
