Two in a row

By Mike Nistler

Woo hoo. This is the second consectuive day that I’ve blogged. Not a big deal if you’re name is Audrey Kletscher Helbling, but for me, it’s huge.

I rarely find time to sit down and write just “for the fun of it.”

Even as a write this, I’m ready to rush out the door for a photo shoot for the next issue of the magazine.

But before I left, I wanted to make sure to sit down and write, even though I may not have anything earth-shattering to report.

Maybe that will come tomorrow. For now, I’m taking baby steps.

Have a great day.

I’m back

By Mike Nistler

After a long, long hiatus, I’ve decided to return to this space.

There have been lots of reasons for by long absence from writing, some of which will become known in the weeks ahead, especially when those of you who are subscribers receive your next issue of the magazine.

Until then, it will have to remain a secret.

The good news from the offices of Minnesota Moments is that our last edition, which featured Hutchinson as the Best Home Town in Minnesota, has sold like hot cakes in that south central Minnesota community.

The local CashWise store there has sold out of its first 150 copies. I hand-delivered another 140 today. The store management has set up a nice display at the front of the store complete with a poster and helium balloons.

If you haven’t seen a copy and would like to read about Hutchinson, order your copy online today. This issue will definitely sell out in the coming weeks.

Until tomorrow, stay safe.

Audrey Kletscher Helbling has a new blog

Minnesota Prairie Roots, a blog featuring writing and photography by Audrey Kletscher Helbling, has launched.

If you’ve followed Audrey’s Minnesota Moments blogs for the past 18 months, you’ll know that Audrey writes from the heart — about everyday life, about places she visits, things she does and about her observations of the world.

Her multi-faceted writing offers humor, entertainment, introspection and reflection, presented in a creative style that is uniquely Audrey’s.

Many of her blogs feature photographs Audrey takes when she’s out and about or as close as her backyard.

Audrey’s blog name, Minnesota Prairie Roots, evolved from her roots in the prairies of southwestern Minnesota, where she grew up on a Redwood County dairy farm.

She encourages readers to bookmark her blog site, visit often (she blogs often) and to share their comments and thoughts.
