    Temp home for Tom

    6. september 2023, Forente stater ⋅ ☁️ 64 °F

    Cool morning to start our day. Since Tom has come down I have been testing myself reach morning for Covid. Still negative!

    We don't have a huge agenda today, but want to make sure I am all set for flying to California tomorrow. Tackled shuttle arrangements, we practiced driving to shuttle location (about 5 miles from park), completed laundry, bought groceries, and did a general clean out of refrigerator. (If what ever food item Tom is looking for does not appear at the front of the shelf, he won't find it! ) Also had to make some play time for Charlie!
    Then needed to give some thought to what I was taking for my trip to Fresno and get packed up. It was a full day, but I did check all the boxes!    Les mer

    Shuttle to St cloud pick up

    7. september 2023, Forente stater ⋅ ☀️ 55 °F

    Woke up early to actually pack the items I had laid out. Breakfast and time with Charlie. They don't have a fenced dog park, but it is pretty large and slightly isolated so I can take her off leash and get her running!

    Gotta loaded into the jeep and let Tom drive using just Google maps for his navigation. He did great and we got to the pick up location about 15 min early!    Les mer

    Flying to Fresno

    7. september 2023, Forente stater ⋅ ☀️ 88 °F

    The Shuttle with pretty full, maybe one empty seat... It's about an hour drive from here to Minneapolis airport. The whole way getting updates about delays to my flight, so by the time I got to the airport I had about 2.5 hours to spare!

    Decided to go ahead and eat since my layover was getting shorter and shorter... And then finally got a notification that I was being rerouted. Final itinerary had my flying through Phoenix instead of Dallas, but ultimate arrival was only about 30 minutes later then original flight.

    Linley and Clarke picked me up at airport and think I was in bed by 9:30 California time! Slept great!    Les mer

    50th Reunion, pre-party

    8. september 2023, Forente stater ⋅ ☀️ 95 °F

    Slept great, but did get going so I could make a scheduled dentist appointment at 9:00 am. Then back to Linleys for some morning chat time.

    Cindy picked me up and she and I met Jeanie at the Swim and Racquet club for lunch. Jeanie was going to be out of town for the weekend and this was our best chance to all get together. It was so nice catching up!

    Spent the afternoon at Linleys and showered and changed for the informal pre party event at Paula DeYoung's home. Bridget came over to the house so linley and I could confirmed her attire choices...Clarke served as our chauffer for the entire weekend!

    Paula has a large, beautiful home on Van Ness extension and the party was in the back yard around the pool (with fountain) and (2 story!) pool house. The event was really well attended and all three of us kind of splintered and chatted with various friends; some well remembered and some we didn't even know had graduated with us!?

    Only drawback was the heat and humidity... And mosquitoes! Wow, I might have well been in Michigan! It was so warm I really didn't feel like drinking wine and pretty much stuck to water until it got dark and I finally got to the wine table. Imagine - every one you walk by, your need to stop and say "hi" to!

    Clarke picked us up, and because none of us had eaten (too much talking) we (the 4 of us) went and had a late dinner at the elbow room, with AIR CONDITIONING!

    Am very disappointed in myself, I have NO pictures. I think I was too busy chatting? Found some on our FB page to share    Les mer

    BHS 50th Reunion

    9. september 2023, Forente stater ⋅ ☀️ 95 °F

    Wow, my mind was so stimulated from lots of conversations I could barely fall asleep. Did some reading, did some sleep meditations, I even tried watching a TV show on my phone! At 6 am just resigned to the fact I was not going to sleep; so got up and worked on Quicken...I think (maybe) I got 2 hours??
    And the bigger event is tonight!
    Coffee and pastries with linley and Clarke, and then Bridget joined us.

    We ended up joining Jeff and Betsy Pash, Jeff's mom, the three of us and Tim Baker for lunch at San Joaquin CC. it has been So hot the night before that we all looked forward to lunch inside. Well darn, Tim decided that we all needed to eat on the patio, outside, because of the "wonderful" view of the course and river bottom!
    But we did have a really nice lunch and time with Pashs... and with a nod to Kristi, I had a spritzer for lunch. Excellent!

    We all showered and changed that afternoon for the reunion out at San Joaquin. Clarke dropped us off again. The reunion committee really set up the venue so nicely. Lots of effort to give it the feel of the knights! It was an inside affair, no host bar, a little entertainment, buffet dinner, and dessert table. We were hopeful for air conditioning- but either the system was a little under designed or we were one "hot" group...another event that was incredibly warm. I had to take some outside breathers (there was a tiny breeze) just to cool down a little.

    But regardless of the heat, we all had a great time! I spoke to SO many more people than the first night. The attendees were all there to enjoy seeing each other again-it started at 6 and I think the group finally broke up at about 10 pm or maybe later. Our "chauffer" picked us up and took us home for a three-way (Linley, Bridget and I) debrief on the event. Fell into bed at about 1 am!

    Again- I have NO pics. Downloaded some from the FB page.    Les mer

    Travel day

    10. september 2023, Forente stater ⋅ ☁️ 57 °F

    Fortunately my flight was delayed an hour, and better yet I was notified before I went to bed, so we got to sleep in a little later... Clarke and linley took me out to the airport to catch my 9 am flight.
    As I was waiting in the terminal I happened to run into one of my favorite church friends, Jan Akins! And more surprisingly, she was booked to fly from Fresno to Minneapolis as well!
    Our flights went smoothly and we both enjoyed our time together at the lay over in Dallas. We couldn't sit together because she was flying first class. But so fun to be able to chat and catch up in the boarding areas!    Les mer

    Shuttle to St Cloud

    10. september 2023, Forente stater ⋅ ☀️ 66 °F

    The flight got into the airport on time, picked up my luggage and caught the shuttle to St. Cloud. Arrived at the drop off point and Tom was right there with the Jeep. He was able to nav back successfully for my return pick up!
    Quick dinner on the way back to the park, and in bed by 10 pm, exhausted!    Les mer

    Regroup in St. Cloud

    11. september 2023, Forente stater ⋅ ☁️ 72 °F

    SO glad I have an additional day in St. Cloud after returning from Fresno. I needed the time to catch up!
    Had some fun calls in the morning, Charlie play time and then tackled laundry; clothes, towels, bedding, sofa cover, everything!
    Took time to even thin down contents in RV by packing "extras" into bins and putting under in storage. End of day included a run to the grocery store.
    I even made dinner tonight so we will have some leftovers for traveling. Still not entirely sure where we want head tomorrow?! It will be west!    Les mer

    Heading west, wow, we picked Sioux Falls

    12. september 2023, Forente stater ⋅ ☀️ 66 °F

    We were pretty well ready to take off on our drive, if only we could decide where?? Was pretty sure we were going to head to Fargo and then west on 94 thru North Dakota. But we really did take this route last year and then hit snow at Medora and had to head south...so at last minute decided to head to Sioux Falls and travel west on 90. Hoping this was God's prompt!

    It was a great day for driving, nice and cool. Traffic was light. We ended up heading southwest on Hwy. 23.
    Lots of lakes! But still relatively flat and wooded! Tom still feeling fatigued, no symptoms, but just weak, so I am driving again. And I really don't mind.
    After a couple of hours we took a brief stop at Green Lake. Stretched out legs and Charlie had some water time.

    Back on the road and got to Granite Falls after noon. Decided to have our lunch break here. They have a little park by the Minnesota River which flows along side the downtown main street. Even though it was Tuesday, it was so quiet it seemed like Sunday. Found a cute little bakery open, bought a wrap and headed to the river to picnic. By now the sky had cleared up and it was sunny and beautiful! Enjoyed the pedestrian suspension bridge and the "falls"!    Les mer

    Camped for the night

    12. september 2023, Forente stater ⋅ ☀️ 72 °F

    Spent the rest of the day driving, refueling in Pipestone. The drive was great, excellent weather, light traffic and lots of corn and soybeans...silos and graineries every where. Ended up parking in Blue Mounds State Park. Mostly empty, but now a days you have to go online and pick a site before you get in the park. Ours was fine...But...it could have been better?!
    I'm sure Steve will sympathize with Tom. Restrooms pretty good, supposedly had Wi-Fi but I couldn't find the network. Nice quiet evening!    Les mer
