I saw construction workers at work at 211 North 3rd Avenue East - Rainbow Community Center.

Under the driveway’s canopy, the driveway and sidewalk are getting much needed repairs.  This new pavement will soon give Community Center patrons a safer walk to and from their vehicles.

Please help the family of Wahbinmigisi “Pennie” Robertson get her back home.

It is not often I see a missing person poster posted in and around my apartment.

Why is my favorite MLP: FiM character Twilight Sparkle?

I tend to love stories that have characters that I can relate to and have similar personalities to my personality.  That is the reason why when I was younger that I loved the original Sailor Moon series; as I could relate to the character of Sailor Jupiter.  I loved this character so much that bought a Sailor Jupiter costume.

Of the “Mane Six”, Twilight Sparkle is the character that is closest to my personality in terms of strengths and weaknesses.  It is so easy for me to project myself into Twilight and that we would react to situations in mostly the same way that made me a big fan of this amazing series.

Kathy and I saw “POKEMON DETECTIVE PIKACHU”

We both loved “Pokémon Detective Pikachu”, and I give this movie a ten out of ten.  However, I was surprised that Kathy was surprised at how many Pokémon we saw in this movie.  As I have seen a few animated Pokémon episodes and a few of the animated Pokémon movies; I didn’t tell Kathy that we had seen just a few of the hundreds of different Pokémon that have been created by the game artists.

King Manor Buy a Basket Co-op food for May, 2019

This is both the fruit and vegetable baskets that I bought for Rainbow Center regular patrons.  All those elderly men and women sure do love the free food that I purchase for them.  Their broad smiles and many thanks when they get this good food are well worth the ten dollars I spend on this food every month.

Barb asked me to create new King Manor posters

I sometimes rewrite Barb’s text for more clarity or add additional ideas to motivate my fellow residents to join in Residents’ Club events.

If you are a King Manor resident, I hope you can attend our June 12, 2019 meeting.  During our meetings, there is always entertaining, real-world drama between the crazy and somewhat less crazy residents.

If you are a King Manor resident, you should buy at least one fruit basket and one vegetable basket for your continued good health. 

I spent several hours creating these posters for Barb.  I am keeping my skills sharp for the day when I might start a career in advertising, marketing, or public relations.

Yesterday, I attended the Member Dinner & #2435 Locomotive Dedication, Part Two

This was the only dinner table that was in direct sunlight at this event.

This is the food that I ate during the dinner.  I don’t often enjoy very tasty meals like this one.

This is the appetizing leftovers that I ate for my breakfast the next morning.

Yesterday, I attended the Member Dinner & #2435 Locomotive Dedication, Part One

This is the postcard notice I got in the mail for this special event.  It feels good to be part of something that is both bigger than your everyday life and will last for many centuries to come.

Here is the excellent buffet table that was cooked and then brought to the Duluth Depot by Blackwoods staff.

Here is the menu of what food was being served that evening.

Gloria Dei Lutheran Church Open House Sun, May 5, 11:00 am to 2:00 pm, Part Three

This original window is located on the North-East side, showing how dark these are.

A window on the North-West side, and despite being as clean as it could be, is still too dark to allow much light into the building.

Gloria Dei Lutheran Church Open House Sun, May 5, 11:00 am to 2:00 pm, Part Two

This is my visual essay on the new stained glass of Gloria Dei Lutheran Church.  We will begin on looking at the South-West side windows.

These are the North-West windows, some handcrafted pieces of which were made in Germany.

Looking North-East, we see that these windows are rather nice, letting in much more light than the original windows that turned the main hall into a darker place.

I love how these North-East windows cast such brilliant colors into the building.

Gloria Dei Lutheran Church Open House Sun, May 5, 11:00 am to 2:00 pm, Part One

The outside of the restored Gloria Dei Lutheran Church looks nice.  Yet, some additional work will still be completed this month.

A sign warning people that this is parking lot is for Gloria Dei Lutheran Church patrons only.

These are the main entrance doors to Gloria Dei Lutheran Church I used to enter this restored building.

Today, I found a new “Employees Only sign” was installed on the fifth floor stairwell.

This new sign is located above the fifth floor platform, protecting the stairway leading to the top floor, hot water boiler room.  I wonder how long this new sign will last, until another homeless person pulls this new sign off the wall.  I’ll update this story as it progresses in time.

A May snowstorm in Duluth, Minnesota

This evening, I saw outside my apartment this mix of light snow and high winds.  I also heard some thunder.

My revised again, “Buy a Basket” poster for 2019

Yesterday, the Buy a Basket dates for the rest of the year was finalized for public posting.  Also, my fellow residents tell me that I’m getting very good at poster design.

I saw UglyDolls and liked this movie.

I rate this good, but not great movie musical an 8 out of 10.  I loved the animation, music, and protagonist, but the villain came across as lackluster and therefore uninteresting.

Our next meeting for our King Manor Residents’ Club is Wednesday

I hope my poster can persuade residents who have been apathetic about attending club meetings to attend this meeting.  We can overcome residents’ alienation and fatigue by these people getting involved in our apartment community and start building a strong and effective social network to improve the well-being of all residents.

Duluth Senior Centers: Rules of Conduct

Many of my apartment building’s newer residents are unaware of these rules or choose to break these rules.  Thus, I’m posting those rules of conduct here.

I had breakfast for dinner at the Duluth Lions Club Pancake Day 2019!

This is my third and last ticket for the 62nd Annual Pancake Day at the DECC or “Duluth's Great Get Together”.

Also, breakfast for dinner is a part of “The Perfect Pear” that is the thirteenth episode of season seven of My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic.

Breakfast for lunch at the Duluth Lions Club Pancake Day 2019

This ticket for the event got me a tasty lunch.

This is my Thursday Lunch at the Duluth Entertainment Convention Center (DECC), Pioneer Hall, with two extra sausages.  As you can see, the Pioneer Hall lighting is not the best for close photography.

Duluth Lions Club Pancake Day 2019

Here is the ticket that I used to purchase my breakfast this morning.
