STROLL-The Wilds

Looking for a fresh way to enjoy tomato season? 🍅

Wilds resident Wendy Hearn is sharing a summer favorite that's simple, flavorful, and perfect for busy weeknights. Roasted cherry tomatoes, baby spinach, Asiago cheese, fresh basil, and toasted pine nuts come together to create a pasta dish that's both comforting and impressive. 😋

The best part? It serves six and can easily be dressed up with grilled shrimp or roasted chicken for a special occasion meal. 🍝

What do you do when a Minnesota winter gets a little too long? 🤔

For Wilds residents Dave and Janette Eckstrom, the answer was a trip to Anguilla. From crystal clear water and pristine beaches to unforgettable sunsets and incredible local restaurants, this Caribbean escape delivered exactly what they were looking for. 🌴

Their travel story is packed with helpful tips, favorite spots, and a few funny moments along the way, including navigating island roads and unexpected ferry adventures. ✨

If you've ever spotted a 6'8" young man walking two tiny fluffy dogs through The Wilds, you've likely met Maddox and his adorable sidekicks, Sweetie and Dolce. 🐾

Sweetie, an 11-year-old Maltipoo, enjoys her independence and isn't afraid to take a little quiet time when she needs it. Dolce, a 9-year-old teacup Maltese, is known for his lovable personality, signature head tilt, and surprisingly loud snore. 💕

Together, this unlikely trio has become one of the neighborhood's most smile-worthy sights, proving that great things really do come in small packages. 🤗

What happens when years of hands-on experience meet a commitment to doing things the right way? 💦

For brothers David and Jeremy Mohs, it became MinnSpas. What started as a side project refurbishing and repairing hot tubs eventually grew into a trusted business serving customers throughout Minnesota and beyond. Today, MinnSpas offers new and refurbished spas, repairs, maintenance, parts, and expert guidance every step of the way. ✨

That's the kind of expertise that helps build lasting customer relationships. 🏡

A milestone worth celebrating. 🎓
