The World’s Only

I spent the last few days visiting a good friend in Mitchell, SD.

Yes, that would be the home of the Corn Palace.

I love the corny billboards. (Sorry, I couldn’t resist the pun; it was too easy.)

My friend, Lacey, and I were first-year teachers at the high school when we taught there, so we bonded right away.

It had been two years since I last saw her, but it was like our friendship hadn’t lost a beat.

One day for lunch we ventured downtown to a cute little cafe—Cafe Teresa.

I loved the inside decor and classy vibe.

A historic feel with the brick walls, yet a modern and cozy atmosphere.

I had a delicious mixed green salad with sweet, dried cranberries; walnuts; hearty croutons; and a light, refreshing balsamic vinaigrette dressing.

It was delicious!

That afternoon with a temperature of 90* and high humidity, where does one go?

Why the water park, of course!

We took Lacey’s two kids there.

Hi, I'm Michelle

I love running around the lakes of Minnesota, running after my two boys, and racing anything from the 5K to the marathon. I have been blogging here since 2010 when I ran my first marathon. I finally secured my sub-3 hour marathon after trying for 8 years.
