The E family gathered in Minneapolis earlier this month to spend some time together and to add some culture to our lives. Our first cultural adventure was at the Minneapolis Sculpture Garden, part of the Walker Art Center. It had been years since any of us had been to the sculpture park, so it was like seeing it for the first time.
