Lowell and I have just purchased a condo. It is located in the city in a neighborhood called Powderhorn Park. This neighborhood is called that because it has a lake that is shaped somewhat like a powder horn. It is a lovely park and we live only steps away from it.

I went there today to take pictures and bring over the first bag of possessions. I have pictures.

Oh Hooray! That looks like a wonderful place to live. My mom was raised in the St. Paul area within walking distance to Lake Harriet. She took the trolley to town sometimes. Have a great time!

Thank you everyone. I hadn't answered before because I forgot to subscribe to my own thread.
We are moving just enough today to set up a household. It is warm today but not too bad. I hope I don't get into any blood sugar trouble. I am just waiting for the movers.
