Lots of catching up to do! We spent 3 lovely days with sister#2 in Frontenac, Mn, making pies, eating pies, talking, laughing and a special time with her son, dil and grandson, Jacob. Then on to Mike's hometown for the family reunion, which took place in Irvine Park, which is an awesome city park that is more like a regional or state park...it even has a zoo. It was very hot on the actual day of the reunion so we were thankful for the large pavilion under which to sit and visit. We used our bikes in Irvine park and we made very good use of the YMCA in Chippewa Falls ,we even used the olympic-size swimming pool on Sunday morning. Today we stopped for a short visit with Becky's 92 yr old uncle. Wally is the only remaining sibling of either of my parents and is doing quite well although he no longer drives, nor does his wife, so they are dealing with issues of trying to stay independent.
It is cloudy and sprinkling as we drive west toward Fargo. Our plan is to stop for the remainder of the day in Fargo and use the bike trails up and down the Red River but we may have to modify that plan if it is raining. Guess that is what the next 6 months is all about..spontaneity and flexibility. It is terribly dry in Minnesota and Wisconsin so we can't begrudge them the rain. Tomorrow should find us in Theodore Roosevelt National Park. We will have to get the camera out and start snapping pictures!
