Margene’s having a contest – guess how many yards are in her skein of handspun and the person who’s closest without going over will win a prize. Leave your guess by July 6.
My goodness – remember the Yarnapalooza contest at Romancing the Yarn that I mentioned yesterday? The one with daily prizes in July?! I won the first prize! *bounce bounce bounce*
Have a great name idea for the fifteenth Stephanie Plum book? Submit it by August 31 and if your name is picked, you’ll receive a mention in book 15 plus an autographed copy!
Yesterday after work, I met some coworkers for drinks and dinner at Chiang Mai Thai. As I was walking home afterwards, I took a few pictures… I’m sure that was completely independent of my thinking, “Oh, crap, I have nothing to blog about on Wednesday!” 😉
Looks pretty festive up on top of Stella’s Fish Cafe, doesn’t it?
Can’t get much more honest than the name of this bar (lower right).
A row of colorful shops along Hennepin Avenue:
I love the whimsical bike racks in Uptown.
Guess who I was thinking of when I took this picture, Lorraine?!
“You have to come out sometime, Mayhem! I’ll be waiting…” -Chaos
Oiy! Unless you changed your name, you messed up your link to “Romancing the yarn”. Should be this, http://romancingtheyarn.blogspot.com/2008/07/big-yellow-taxi-and-yarnapalooza-winner.html
Congratulations!
LOL-nice the see they’re doing their part to keep the cat hair manageable..
C’mon Chaos give’er the ol’Whack-A-Cat and then jump’er.
Whoa – that last picture is really disorienting when you first look at it. 🙂
I love these old-style apartments (with courtyards)!
Mayhem, I think you need more camo/hiding practice. : )
I love it when you put together these types of posts. There’s nothing like a good outdoor patio on a summer’s day.
🙂
The cat phot reminds me of an Escher print!
Chris- I love your “tours of the neighborhood”-
Finished 14 in near record time and am tossing my brain for a good 15 title that hasn’t been submitted already.
Have a special Plum post planned for Saturday 🙂
love that shot of the shops and the fish cafe too.
Great courtyard shot! And um….another photo where I go, where does one cat start and the other stop?
lolol
(((hugs)))
Always love to see your pictures around town!
Thanks for the contest mention. You won’t be winner it. 😉
Your pictures of the area are always fun to see and I’d love to be eating in that cafe!
May, stay safe!
Well now, prize-winning, that will cheer you right up!
So much of Uptown is whimsical, I do miss it.
congrats on winning! I love the pic of stellas and the bike rack….lol at drink!
Congrats on winning. Love the pics, especially the chair from yesterday
Whose tail is that anyway?? May does this mean you really did scratch big kitty’s face???
You have bike racks where you live?!
It looks like you had a great summer evening. I wish it were this nice all year round.
I like it when you and your camera go walking.
Drink. I like that–cuts to the chase.
Summer evening walks are so nice. I need to move farther west (so I’m just on the western edge of a time zone).
Congratulations!!! I love summer walks 🙂 It certainly looks nice where you are.
Congratulations!
I don’t know who Chaos is talking to. Clearly Mahyhem is either not there or completely invisible.
I love the primary colored shops.
The bikeracks are too cute. What a great way to spice up such a utilitarian object.
Nice pics! Stella’s Fish Cafe looks like it’s hopping. Cool looking bike racks too.
Chaos, you mean you’re going wait until she comes out?
Chaos knows how to bide his time, huh? LOL!
love the neighborhood photos. Makes me want to come visit. I haven’t been to Mn in about 27 years.
Congrats on winning..
Hey…wanna go get a drink at drink?
Cool pics. Looks like a very artsy, fun place to live.
LOVE the pics! Thanks for sharing.
Congrats on the win! Now I’m really glad I linked you to it!
