On Saturday morning I headed out for my weekly listing route to check vacant properties and put up name riders. I was thinking about my job, why I love my job and how blessed I am to have the career that I do. Sometimes in the thick of 'it' I forget to be grateful, but I am. And I always will be. Anyways, I had my kiddos in the backseat and we were loud. Singing and playing and enjoying the life.  I was contemplating how hard it is to balance family, work, kid's school, work  and all of it into a tidy package. We pulled up to a stop sign and I looked up. And there he was.

If you park on Elk River streets between 2 a.m. to 6 a.m., you WILL get a $30 parking ticket.    Because it snowed last Thursday, some people may still be unaware of the parking restrictions, which began on November 15 and will continue through April 15th, 2013. The restrictions are simple:  no vehicle may be left parked on a public roadway in the city of Elk River between the hours of 2 a.m. to 6 a.m.   The purpose of this restriction is to allow for the safe and efficient overnight removal of snow and ice as well as other seasonal road maintenance work.   So unless you want to fork over some of your hard-earned cash to the court, remember to find off-street parking for your vehicle overnight.   Stay safe out there and remember to move the vehicle at night to a safe location off-street.   11/25/2012

If you have ever been to the Elk River Library, you probably know Mick Stoffers.  She has been part of the Elk River Library for 27 years.  She is also the library’s branch manager.  October 31, 2012, has been proclaimed Mick Stoffers Day in Elk River by the City Council.  Mick is retiring, and the Council has given her a plaque for her service and this honor.  I hope she received some tribute from the library system as well.  She has given Elk River a continuity and pride in our library that other cities likely envy.  It will be a bit strange not to see her there anymore, but we all wish her a long and very happy retirement!
