Not enough flowers to say, “Thanks Mom for all you do for me.”
This Sunday is Mother’s Day and we would like to thank all the mothers out there for being there at every step of life. You’ve nurtured, supported, and loved us. You’ve made us into the people we are today.
#ProLifeSunday Thanks to Mothers
not enough flowers to say, “I love you mom.”
There aren’t enough flowers and presents to say thank you to mothers.
We House District 66B Republicans celebrate the entire family. We include Fathers, Grandparents, Aunts, Uncles, Brothers & Sisters & Cousins, Friends & Colleagues. Our extended families have helped us grow in areas that our parents may have overlooked, or helped us to relate to our parents to know that they were once like us at one point in the past.
Cutting any part of the family out of the picture diminishes the resources one can draw upon.
While there might be a number of fantastic mothers who vote for Democrat candidates, we have to take issue with them because they support the destruction of life during a pregnancy. They support Planned Parenthood, a taxpayer supported organization that draws upon the tenets of Eugenics that were supported by their founder Margaret Sanger and the late Supreme Court Justice Ruth Bader Ginsberg who had been their attorney, as well as Senator Tina Smith who used to be a Vice President of MN Planned Parenthood. Eugenics derived from Charles Darwin’s theory of evolution and the idea of “survival of the fittest.” Sanger believed that there are certain undesirables in the human population.
Happy Mother’s Day
To end on a positive note we would like to thank all the Pro-life Mothers serving as legislators in the Minnesota State Legislature.
Happy Mother’s Day
It is a different sort of Mother’s Day this year since Roe v Wade has been overturned by the US Supreme Court and extreme abortion has been passed into law in Minnesota by party line votes. This article is reposted from saintpaulrepublicans.us and was edited for this site by permission. — admin
Conny’s Creamy Cone opens for the Season on Saturday March 21st 2026. Their season runs to sometime in late October.
Conny’s Creamy Cone always has a line during the summer.
Every year the opening of Conny’s Creamy Cone is waited upon with baited breath. It is quite possible that the weather might be snowy, cold enough that your soft serve ice cream cone won’t melt in the sub freezing weather, but it’s the first promise of Spring in the North End Neighborhood of Saint Paul Minnesota.
At the Southwest Corner of the Dale St North and Maryland Ave West intersection, Conny’s Creamy Cone has been serving up soft serve in 31 flavors, and Flurries (like DQ Blizzards except there’s more stuff in them than DQ puts in Blizzards). They have almost everything DQ has except it is cheaper, and the line is longer in the Summertime than any of the nearby DQs.
Cone Cost: Baby/Pup $2.99, Small $3.49, Medium $3.99, Large $4.49, Waffle Cone $4.79 (2026 Prices)
Cheese Curds: $5.49 (more than what you get at the State Fair)
31 Flavors of Soft Serve
Some people try to do the cycle of trying every flavor of Soft Serve Conny’s has during the summer. It’s hard to do when you’re on a diet. With limited parking around it you can park a block or two away and get some exercise to work off a dip cone, Flurry, or a flavored cone.
Cone Cost: Baby $3.88, Small $4.38, Medium $4.88, Large $5.38, Waffle Cone $5.68
Conny’s Under New Management–Her Nephew
You may have wondered about the origins of Conny’s and have stumbled upon this letter to the editor from Conny’s nephew Thomas McCullough, from November 4, 2020, “An October like no other.”
Thomas McCullough explains in his letter to the editor that his Aunt Conny McCullough, bought Creamy Cone 25 years prior to then (that would be 1995). He says she bought it not to become rich, or to open up franchises, but to own a place that would provide joy to the community from a friendly face at an affordable price. Prior to purchasing the shop, Thomas worked for about 10 years there and it was a great place to work as Conny was someone who cared about her employees. She understood the flexible schedules of the employees and knew their birthdays to give them the day off without them asking her.
Conny closed the shop for her last October in 2020. Thomas’ first opening was in March 2021
Never Closed for Covid
During the time of Covid lockdowns, Conny’s Creamy Cone never closed down. Since they are strictly a take out eatery they were allowed to stay open. One can only imagine they were still providing joy to their customers as there wasn’t much joy for people to look to during those dark times.
We thank them for that. We like to support the area businesses inside and on the edges of HD 66B, so we gather the menus of area restaurants and bring them to the Republican Caucuses in the Minnesota State House & Senate. It isn’t hard to get them to go to Conny’s, many of them already knew of its existence.
Conny McCollough’s dream of bringing joy to St Paul, and surrounding suburbs from a friendly face at an affordable price has been realized.
Thank you.

This event takes place on the Eastern Edge of House District 66B. We like to post events everyone can attend inside our House District as it promotes our neighborhoods and the District itself.
Barb Linert used to be the Office Manager for the MNGOP HQ when it was a block away from the State Capitol Building. She along with the “Joel C’s” (two staffers whose first name was Joel and their last names started with the letter C) and others ran an efficient office where one could get answers right away without having to wait weeks for someone to respond like one did in the years after from 2013-2017.
Barb Linert launched her book on February 21st. She is the author and illustrator of the book.
If you can’t make it to the event on Tuesday, she will be doing an interview with Jack Tomczak on the Patriot 1280 AM this Saturday March 14th from 3-5 pm.

On an average day you spend a third of your day with your colleagues at work and friends give you advice and give you some breathing space in forms of athletic outings or fun activities. Let’s face it not everyone is married and friends are the life line for many single people. Paul had Barnabas, and Jesus had 12 main disciples who were friends and also his colleagues.
Life would be so bland without your friends. So why not say thank you to them for enriching your life?
Charles Schultz the cartoonist who created the Comic Strip, “Peanuts,” was from St Paul MN.
Nationally there are only 3 recognized holidays that bolster the love and admiration of the family: Mother’s Day, Father’s Day, and Grandparents Day. We are the party of Judeo-Christian Family Values. We want to bring attention to the parts of the family that are often forgotten. In July we celebrated Aunts & Uncles, in August we celebrated Brothers Sisters & Cousins, and now we are celebrating our Friends and Colleagues–that otherfamily we spend a third of our day with.
Why on the 3rd Sunday of October?
Well, because we can; but to have at least a full month since Grandparents Day to get ready. Also because the 2nd Sunday is closest to Columbus Day.
Colleagues are at work who share the load of a project. They know you almost as well as your family knows you. They challenge you to do your very best in the work you do. They chip in your contribution for pizza on occasion when they see you are coming up short. Work would be more stressful without good colleagues.
This article was reposted by permission from saintpaulrepublicans.us which has been running this holiday since 2017. It is not the SPRCC, but used to post for them prior to 2014. This was recently reposted on their site on October 6, 2025.
One of the benefits of getting involved in you local party unit is you can network with so many interesting people, locally in your neighborhood, you city, county, state, and sometimes at the national level. You can cement some really lasting friendships with people. So this #ProLifeSunday, call up your friends and co-workers and thank them for a lasting contribution to your life. — admin
