For many years now, I've had a blog called "A Year In Photos" on our Shabsin Family of Rochester, Minnesota, website. Like everything on the website, it's password protected so only family members and a few close friends can see it. On and off, I've decided to put one of my picture-of-the-day entries out here in my public space so anyone who knows about it can see it. So if you've found this page, you can enjoy my latest entry and all its supporting pictures and the narrative that accompanies it, at least for now. (It'll only stay up until I post a new one, but that's not very often.)

Click on the main picture or any of the blue underlined links to see the corresponding pictures full size. (And feel free to download and share them if you'd like.) If you see a green superscripted "note" like thisnote, hover over it (or tap it on a phone or tablet) to read it.

Sunday, July 12 - Where's this? Our friend Matt treated us and a couple of other friends, Tom and Lori, to breakfast at Rooster's Too! this morning. It was his way of thanking us for our help during his recent hospitalization. Tom drove him there, and we picked him up when his stay was over. We'd never been to Rooster's Too! before; it was much bigger than I expected, and was really busy on this Sunday morning. The breakfast menu offered a lot of options, and the portions were both generous and tasty.
