  What are your favorite cute, quaint, "cottage core"-esque places in MN? Once we're both fully vaccinated and more things open back up, my friend from out of state is going to come visit me! I'm in the Metro area. Her main thrill in life is a tea party. She loves everything cute, pretty, and girly. She likes photography, drawing, painting, crocheting, and sewing. Are there any places in MN we should consider going to when she comes to visit? (I'd anticipate in July/August, but it's all very dependent on what is safe with COVID. Here are some of my ideas so far: * MN Landscape Arboretum * Lyndale Rose Garden * Downtown shopping in Lindstrom * There are tons of art museums I'm thinking of in the Twin Cities (MIA, Walker, Museum of Russian Art, etc.) - looking for lesser known ones as well. We'll probably stop at the Museum of Marine Art in Winona. Are there any good places to get afternoon tea?

  Love the Museum of Marine Art. Really a hidden treasure. The American Swedish institute is pretty cool. Also, the Como Conservatory is always nice if you can get there on a less busy day. If you go to Stillwater.... Taylors Falls is also a nice little spot in that area. Quaint little town.

  Jeanne R. asked:

  Our Swedish-American history group has received more than 1,000 pages of diaries of a Swedish immigrant farm family from MN in Swedish. Does anyone know of a translator program ( other than a Google Translate, which is iffy) to translate this volume of documents so that the information may be shared?

  I would contact the American Swedish Institute in Minneapolis. Someone there could likely put you in touch with Swedish speakers -- it's a matter of networking. http://www.asimn.org/
