Support group for Au Pairs
Hi and Welcome to MetroAupair. We have formed this group to support au pairs and their host families during their year together. We will hold monthly meetings for the au pairs and host family events. Early History of Shakopee Area (1750 to 1870)
Early settlers in Scott County
I am interested in the early history (1800 -1870's) of Shakopee and surrounding area. I was born in Eagle Creek and this area is of particular interest to me but the early settlers in Shakopee, Spring Lake, and generally the Eastern half of Scott County and even the Western part of Dakota County are of interest. I have relative that lived in that area and some still do. On the Beat: Music and Live Entertainment

I've completed seven running marathons, an 87 mile inline race, countless inline marathons, a triathlon (even though I still can't swim), and many more challenging races. Today though, I am training to participate in a 100 mile "Century" bike ride called "America's Most Beautiful Bike Ride" as a member of The Leukemia & Lymphoma Society's Team In Training. Many of my other races have been rewarding but there is an extra incentive with this one as I'll be racing for a cause. Walking SpiritsMay 3, 2008 - 2:10pm — Kathy Ghost hunterI have been aware for some time now about these spirits. What has prompted me writing about them is some of the articles I have been reading about them. They do not call these poor souls Walking Spirits, they are called “Tramp Souls or Spirits” “Vagabond Spirits” “Restless Spirits” and other not so nice names. I prefer to call them “Walking Spirits” The American Indians knew about these spirits for centuries. These are spirits that have chosen not to cross over at the time they needed to for what ever reason and wonder the world. More Trash or Creating TreasuresMay 1, 2008 - 7:12am — Cre8tivegangBefore you visit garage sales, thrift stores, flea markets, antique malls, estate sales and auctions for pieces to transform, clear out your own spaces to see what you can discover. The key to creating treasure from trash is to look at things in a different light and be open to possibilities. Remember, most wobbly furniture can be strengthened with glue, dings can be covered up and stains can be cut out. You don't need a huge budget for a creative dramatic change. Your furniture may not be glamorous, but it's functional -- you may not need to buy a new table or desk. Kids First Garage SaleApril 29, 2008 - 1:46am — AnggrosklagsKids First Garage Sale |
