You've got to decide for yourself, and be open to creating new traditions if need be.<BR/><BR/>BTW, great blog!<BR/><BR/>P.S. Do you type up blog posts in Microsoft Word? If you're not careful, Word will add a lot of gobbledygook to your code and cause problems for some feed readers.

BTW, great blog!

My Saturday mornings have been a beautiful ritual of visiting the farmers market (and chatting with everyone). We have a winter market through November, but it won't be the same.<BR/><BR/>One of our favorite family rituals is pizza night. Every Friday I make homemade pizza (I even did this right before giving birth a few weeks ago). We drink rootbeer and eat pizza - often watching a movie afterwards. It is great fun! Oh, you are right - New Ulm is close... I usually think of microbrew rootbeer (which we had a plethora of in NE MN). Sara, I love rituals as well.
